Hear Again, Work Again
Project synopsis: This prospective cohort study investigates impact of (1) hearing loss and (2) cochlear implantation on cost and health state on one hand, and employment, productivity and social wellbeing on the other hand in a professionally active group using validated questionnaires. Participants The investigators aim to include 100 professional …
Binaural Cue Sensitivity in Children and Adults With Combined Electric and Acoustic Stimulation
There is a rapidly growing population of adult and pediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients with acoustic hearing preservation in the implanted ear(s) allowing for combined Electric and binaural Acoustic Stimulation (EAS). Despite the rapid technological and surgical advancements that have led to this increased prevalence, there is limited research on …
Genetic and Epigenetic Background of Inner Ear Dysfunction in Turner Syndrome
The goal of this case-control study is to pave the way for new revolutionary treatment measures within hearing loss that could either replace or delay the need for hearing aids. The study focuses on people with Turner syndrome (TS). The aim is to find out if there are specific DNA …
Post-Market Clinical Investigation of the IotaSOFT Insertion System
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the continued safety of the iotaSOFT Insertion System when used by a surgeon to assist with inserting a CI electrode array in one ear per subject
Evaluation of the Automated Integration of a Robotics and ECochG System for Use With Cochlear Implant Surgery
Evaluation of the Automated Integration of a Robotics and ECochG System for Use with Cochlear Implant Surgery
The Effect of PAP on ISSHL Comorbided With OSA
This clinical randomized controlled study is to explore the effect of positive airway pressure(PAP) on patients in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital diagnosed with both idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss comorbided(ISSHL) and obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) between Dec. 2019 to Dec. 2029.
Assessing the Effect of Computer-based Auditory Training on Adult Cochlear Implant Speech and Quality-of-life Outcomes
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a free computer-based auditory training program, Sound Success (Advanced Bionics, Valencia, CA), with the current standard of care of patient-directed auditory training in improving common measures of speech recognition and cochlear implant (CI) specific quality-of-life in new adult CI …
Correlation of Radiological Lesions With Vestibular Function in Patients With Bilateral Vestibulopathy
In 2014 radiologic lesions were detected at one or more semicircular canals using CT and MR imaging of temporal bone in subjects carrying the p.P51S mutation in COCH. These lesions are believed to present at more advanced stages of the hearing and vestibular deterioration. Since then, other authors have described …
Reading Outcomes in Children With Vestibular Loss
Vestibular loss can co-occur with hearing loss causing dual sensory deficits. This project examines vestibular loss as a contributing factor to reading difficulties for children with hearing loss, where previously only the effects of hearing loss and subsequent language difficulties have been considered. These results are expected to influence the …
Place-based Cochlear Implant Mapping
The current standard of care approach for programming cochlear implants uses a generalized pitch-map for all patients. This approach fails to account for individualized inner ear anatomy. As a result, many cochlear implant recipients experience place-pitch mismatch. We have recently developed an automated mathematical tool to produce patient-specific, customized cochlear …
