To measure detection thresholds, loudness, and melody perception in CI recipients in order to assess extent of nerve degeneration between good and poor performers with respect to speech perception.
we aim to enhance insight in the specific influence of cochlear hearing loss on auditory processing and speech. We expect that the results for the normal ears of the unilateral hearing loss listeners is comparable to the results for normal hearing…
Primary Objective: To assess the level of agreement between ACC variables (amplitude, latency) in CI users and the FDT perceived by the same CI users.Secondary Objectives: • To assess correlations between speech perception and ACC variables, and…
To further optimize 7.0 Tesla MRI techniques and to develop new MRI techniques that will enable state-of-the-art clinical and cognitive research leading to improved patient care. Whereas some applications of 7.0 Tesla MRI already show improvements…
To validate the Extended Speech Transmission Index (ESTI) model for fluctuating noise in reverberant conditions in both normal hearing and hearing impaired subjects
The purpose of this study is the improvement of sound material for the Sound-Ear-Check by focusing on the acoustical analysis and the validation of the Sound-Ear-Check, among adult participants and children with normal-hearing abilities and hearing-…
Firstly, comparison of DTI outcome variables between the auditory nerve of a deaf ear with that of a normal ear. Secondly, in patients who receive a CI, DTI measures will be compared to measures derived from electrically evoked compound action…
To measure the 18F-fluoride activity of otosclerosis in patients diagnosed with otosclerosis (by audiometry, CT scan and/or operative findings) in a different stage of their disease. If this diagnostic proves to be reliable and reproducible, this…
The development of an electrophysiological measuring method to describe the temporal processing of the hearing system, using the auditory steady state response.
This study is designed to clarify how hearing ability and other individual differences influence the preference for a specific noise reduction strength. We will concentrate on the trade-off between residual noise and speech distortion * which is…
The present study aims to assess sensory weights and reweighting in healthy elderly and elderly with polyneuropathy, visual impairments or balance disorders compared to young healthy adults.
Generally: what is the effect of tinnitus on the auditory attention filter?A measurement of the effect of tinnitus enables us:a) to measure the extent of attention on tinnitusb) to reduce the attention on tinnitus by evoking attention to a tone with…
To gain information about the characteristics of the oVEMP-response in patients with otosclerosis and to objectify the complaints of dizziness pre- and postoperatively through a dizziness questionnaire.
The objective of this study is to acquire a set of images and associated technical information to facilitate regulatory submission of the pulse sequences
The results are used to develop a computer model that can predict speech intelligibility for hearing impaired people, even after signal processing. A model like that can be used to choose the most optimal hearing aid settings in the future.…
The purpose of this study is to determine how this screening test can be used best in practice, and whether Earcheck is a valid test, compared to the pure-tone audiogram, that is applicable in a large population of construction workers exposed to…
The purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of hearing impairment amongst dentists who are working in the Netherlands.
The primary objective of the study is to investigate which cognitive abilities predict amount and time-course of individual improvement in speech understanding performance within the first three months after cochlear implant activation. The primary…
The first sub-project (part 1) aims to identify and characterize realistic dynamic scenarios in which speech communication takes place. In the second sub-project (part 2) we will investigate speech recognition performance in those realistic dynamic…
The purpose of this study is the validity and applicability of an objective internet screening test appropriate for the detection of occupational noise-induced hearing loss, that can be performed in a remote setting (at home or at work).
