The study aims to investigate if proactive parental educating and counselling can minimize loss to follow-ups of parents whose infant fail newborn hearing screening.
Clinical management of cochlear implant (CI) recipients involve programming, counselling, performance evaluation and habilitation. This requires the recipients to travel to the clinic for follow up appointments which can pose significant challenges for recipients, particularly those who live far away from the clinic. Remote Assist (RA) is a new solution that allows the clinician to make MAP and sound processor adjustments via the recipient's Nucleus Smart app (NSA) installed on their smart phone. With RA the clinician can also perform counselling using a video call directly via the NSA. As RA uses no specialized hardware and software that needs to be sent and retrieved back from the recipient, it has the potential to further improve the remote programming experience and convenience for both the recipient and the clinician.
The research aims to address to address the role of interdisciplinary working between professionals in the field of speech and language pathology/therapy. There is considerable evidence to state that when professionals work in collaboration with each other on particular goals that the outcomes are more favorable, functional and beneficial for the child.
Phase I clinical study on the safety, tolerance, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of repeated intratympanic HY01 in patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss. In this study, low-dose group and high-dose group were designed, 6 cases in each group.
This study will evaluate the impact of hearing aid microphone directionality technologies and settings on speech understanding in noise for experienced hearing aid users. It will also evaluate the participant's spatial awareness of sounds using these different hearing aid microphone directionality technologies.
The following research questions will be investigated: What is the knowledge of medical interventions for moderate to severe hearing loss and what is the knowledge of the reimbursement criteria for hearing implants of otorhinolaryngologists in a secondary setting in Brabant. This will be evaluated by means of a specific questionnaire that will be systematically gone over with the participants during an interview in the first and third phase. In a second phase, the investigators will investigate how the knowledge of medical interventions for moderate to severe hearing loss and the knowledge of the reimbursement criteria for hearing implants of otorhinolaryngologists in a secondary setting in Brabant can be increased by training the otorhinolaryngologists in a secondary setting in Brabant. In the third phase, the investigators will evaluate the knowledge of hearing implant interventions and reimbursement criteria among otorhinolaryngologists in a secondary setting.
For this study, Bernafon AG will carry out testing with participants with hearing loss to compare a dedicated music program to a general listening program. The Bernafon hearing aids used for the current study are CEmarked and will be released to the market in early 2022. The goal is to determine whether musicians will perceive a difference and prefer the music program over the default listening program in real-life situations. The devices will also be validated for performance before their release to the market.
To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation of SLC26A4 mutations in cochlear-implanted patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct.
This is a prospective study designed to evaluate the safety and performance of the HiResTM Ultra Cl HiFocusTM SlimJ Electrode and HiResTM Ultra 3D Cl HiFocusTM SlimJ Electrode (Ultra X) under normal conditions of use as it is approved for this device. Participants receive interventions as part of routine medical care.
