Wolfram Syndrome and WFS1-related Disorders International Registry and Clinical Study
In this study, the investigators hypothesize that studying monogenic variants with strong effect associated with severe insulin deficiency of Wolfram syndrome will provide important insights into the more complex type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Aim 1. Establish and maintain a registry of patients with Wolfram syndrome. An Internet …
Societal Merit of Intervention on Hearing Loss Evaluation
The primary objective of this study is to determine the (long term) effect of intervention with a CI in adult participants with progressive postlingual moderate/severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss on societal related outcomes (participation; communication profile; autonomy; cognition; listening effort; work; productivity loss; income; medical consumption; third party quality of life; …
Hearing Impairment in Children: Pupillometry and Hearing Thresholds Assessment
The results of the previous study on auditory effort in young children with cochlear implants show that pupils respond to the presence or the absence of the perceived stimuli. The investigators hypothesize that the perceived sounds will elicit increased pupil dilation compared to the non-perceived sounds and that the hearing …
Pilot Study to Evaluate the Long-term Chronic Care of Patients Who Could or do Utilize an Osseointegrated Device (OID)
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate OID hearing intervention on cognition among patients who could vs. do utilize an OID. We will also evaluate the long-term effects of OID use on secondary outcomes measures (hearing performance, quality-of-life, social interaction, communication, physical functioning, etc)
Role of Diffusion Tensor-magnetic Resonance Imaging in Investigating Sensorineural Hearing Loss
DTI and auditory tractography can be incorporated into the diagnostic toolkit for patients who are scheduled to undergo cochlear implantation and whose standard assessments have been unable to determine the functional integrity of the auditory pathway. These techniques aid in decision-making processes regarding potential outcomes, determining the optimal side for …
Predictive Study on Hearing Rehabilitation After Cochlear Implant
The aim of this study is to display the predictive factors of hearing rehabilitation after cochlear implant surgery in severely to profoundly deaf adults.
Vestibular and Postural Function in an Unselected Group of Children With Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to investigate the vestibular function in children with unilateral or bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The main hypothesis of the study is that abnormal vestibular test results will be found in 20-30 % of the children with sensorineural hearing loss. The participants will …
The Contributions of Age Related Changes in the Sound Localization Pathway to Central Hearing Loss
Age-related hearing loss, presbycusis, affects up to 50% of American adults. There are two main causes for presbycusis: 1) Progressive death of hair cells in the inner ear, and 2) Central hearing loss, or the reduced ability to decipher the sound source of interest from other competing sounds in a …
Investigating the Relationship Between Temporal Bone CT, Bone Density, and Hearing Loss in Otosclerosis Patients
The goal of this observational case-control study is to evaluate the relationship between temporal bone computed tomography (CT) findings, bone mineral density (BMD), and audiological parameters in adults diagnosed with otosclerosis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is there a correlation between temporal bone CT density values and …
Long-term Follow-up of a Cochlear Implant With Dexamethasone Eluting Electrode Array
A long-term follow-up of Cochlear's cochlear implant electrode array which passively elutes dexamethasone for a defined period of time to help reduce inflammatory responses.
