Immunity After Cochlear Implantation and Perilymph Molecular Profiles in Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Many patients receiving cochlear implant (CI) have some residual hearing prior to implantation surgery. However, approximately one third of them will lose it in next 6 months after cochlear implantation. Although the mechanisms involved in the residual audition loss remain unknown, animal experiments suggest the role of inflammatory or immune …
Auditory Diagnostics and Error-based Treatment
The main objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an integrated program of fitting and training interventions aimed at reducing unexpected variability and addressing the specific error patterns of each recipient. The participants will undergo 1 visit lasting approximately 2 hours at the Radboud university medical center's …
Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting and a Conventional Fitting
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy (TFS4) to a default fitting strategy (FS4) for the speech recognition in noise. Secondary objectives: Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 for speech recognition in quiet. Comparison of TFS4 to FS4 …
Evaluation of Rehabilitation Results in the Single-sided Deafness With Cochlear Implantation
Single-sided deafness (SSD) refers to severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss on one side (average pure-tone hearing threshold≥70 dB HL at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4kHz) while the opposite side maintains normal hearing or mild hearing loss (30 dB HL). Asymmetrical hearing loss (AHL) refers to severe to profound sensorineural …
Perimodiolar Implant Performance in Adults With Low-Frequency Residual Hearing
The purpose of the feasibility study is to investigate hearing performance (audiometry and speech perception) using the CI632 in a group of adults (n=15) with low-frequency residual hearing who meet inclusion criteria.
Cochlear Implanted Listening Effort and Hearing Attention
Cochlear implant users perceive mainly sound amplitude modulation cues. Processing of these amplitude modulations can be subject to interferences, so that the perception of a modulation in a target sound can be impaired by a superimposed sound if this sound contains a similar modulation. Such phenomenon, which is observed both …
Evaluation of the CochSyn Test Prototype to Measure Cochlear Synaptopathy
This study investigates a newly developed test, The CochSyn test that can quantify cochlear synaptopathy (CS) (a new type of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL)) earlier than the current golden standard pure-tone audiogram.This newly developed test is based on auditory evoked brain potentials. A hardware prototype (the Cochsyn test prototype) was …
Vocal Emotion Communication With Cochlear Implants
Patients with hearing loss who use cochlear implants (CIs) show significant deficits and strong unexplained intersubject variability in their perception and production of spoken emotions in speech. This project will investigate the hypothesis that "cue-weighting", or how patients utilize the different acoustic cues to emotion, accounts for significant variance in …
Social Influences on Sensorimotor Integration of Speech Production and Perception During Early Vocal Learning
The goal of this study is to investigate the role of social factors on speech learning, including production and perception, in infants ranging in age from ~7-18 months. Infants have either typical hearing or sensorineural hearing loss. The main prediction of the study is that social reinforcement will engender improvements …
Effects of Clear Speech on Listening Effort and Memory in Sentence Processing
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is among the most prevalent chronic conditions in aging and has a profoundly negative effect on speech comprehension, leading to increased social isolation, reduced quality of life, and increased risk for the development of dementia in older adulthood. Typical audiological tests and interventions, which focus on …
