Improving Spatial Perception and Speech Understanding in Multitalker Mixtures
The purpose of this study is to investigate several approaches for improving spatial perception and speech intelligibility in multitalker listening situations for hearing-aid users. The hypotheses are that spatial perception and speech intelligibility will be improved by (1) increased high-frequency audibility, (2) speech envelope enhancement, and/or (3) appropriate sound image …
MED-EL HEARING SOLUTIONS (MEHS): AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
This Registry represents a non-interventional systematic collection of clinical data in which prospective data from children and adults are collected as fully anonymized data sets, derived from original clinical records on appropriately informed subjects. This is a patient-outcomes Registry for subjects of any age who are provided in routine clinical …
Improving Access and Affordability of Adult Hearing Healthcare
This project will address quality of care issues associated with hearing loss in adults who have mild-to-moderate hearing loss and who have no access to hearing healthcare. Through the use of three different interventions involving over-the-counter hearing aids, it will lead to options that will increase access and affordability of …
Three-dimensional Perception of Sounds in Military with Acoustic Trauma
Spatial hearing capacities of soldiers with acoustic trauma are evaluated in ENT consultations with routine tests (i.e. tonal audiometry, voice audiometry). While the results conclude that soldiers with acoustic trauma have sufficient abilities to carry out professional missions, soldiers report recurring complaints of sound localization (spatial hearing), i.e. difficulties in …
The Sentio System: Post-market Evaluation of Safety and Performance in Adolescents
This study is a post-market, multicentre, prospective, single arm investigation aimed to systematically collect safety and performance data on the Sentio system, when used as intended for adolescents (12-17 years inclusive).
Coding of Speech Signals in the Human Auditory Nerve
The fine evaluation of the function of auditory neurons in silence and in noise in humans is difficult, if not impossible, to date with the conventional methods available. That is why in certain situations, the hearing aids of patient with hearing loss fail, especially in the presence of noise. In …
Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes of Ponto Procedures Performed in Settings Outside the Main Operating Room (i.e. Out-of-OR)
This study is a combined retro- and prospective, single arm, multicentre investigation designed to follow clinical practice for Ponto-implantations performed out of OR. The overall objective is to investigate the complication rate for procedures performed out-of-OR.
AI Noise Reduction in Phonak Hearing Aids
The purpose of this study is to determine if artificial intelligence- based noise reduction can offer objective improvement in hearing and speech perception for hearing impaired patients.
Evaluating the Clinical Effectiveness of a Community-based Hearing Aid Fitting Service Delivery Model Facilitated by Community Healthcare Workers (CHWs) Providing Smartphone-based In-situ and Pre-set Hearing Aid Fittings in Low- and Middle-income Communities (LMICs)
The purpose of this study is to advance hearing care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through the rigorous evaluation and optimization of innovative interventions and technologies. This study encompasses the following key aim: This study aims to establish the effectiveness of community-based hearing aid fittings facilitated by community healthcare …
An Investigation to Validate Speech Perception Assessment for Adult Cochlear Recipients Using a Mobile Research App
The study is a feasibility, prospective, repeated-measures, multi-country, multi-centre, study of the Mobile Research App to measure and validate speech perception endpoints in adult cochlear implant recipients.
