The objectives of this study are to evaluate the clinical outcome of a cochlear implant (CI) over standard health care therapy with either BAHA or CROSS in patients with SSD and to examine the cost efficiency of cochlear implantation in these…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
The ENT clinic in Groningen has developed a new speech coding strategy: phase-lock speech (PLS) coding. This strategy distinguishes from existing strategies by the explicit coding of acoustic fine-structure. In normal hearing subjects, the…
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…
The main objective of the present study is to investigate the optimal stimulation pattern for tinnitus suppression in a structured way. Our study will focus on two parameters: stimulus level and anatomical stimulation site inside the cochlea.
Using a single formulation of PfPEBS LSP administered at two different doses, one of 5*g and the other one of 30*g, both adjuvanted with aluminium hydroxide, in two immunizations at 28 days interval, to evaluate a) the safety and immunogenicity (…
The aim of the current study is to examine whether it is possible to improve speech recognition in specific CI users by optimizing dynamic range and mean aided thresholds. Furthermore, we want to investigate to what extent patient counselling and…
1. To adapt and optimize the MR protocol to enable multi-parametric dynamic acquisitions during 1 hour of mild-cold exposure.2. To investigate tissue dynamics of metabolic activity of the hypothalamus, BAT, and skeletal muscles, measured by dynamic…
A future project will focus on a new platform for at-home monitoring and testing of cochlear implants, developed by one of the manufacturers of cochlear implants, Advanced Bionics (AB). Their Research Application allows for clinicians to read out…
The main objective of this study is to determine the most precise method for automatic threshold detection of eCAP measurements. Secondary, the correlation between the eCAP thresholds and behavioural thresholds will be examined (the accuracy of the…
