Filter by:Normal-hearing participants aged 18-25 with and without musical training will listen to a series of short musical samples that have been recorded through hearing aids. The music will be played at a comfortable listening level. Subjects will use the computer to rate the sound quality of the music on a 7-point Likert scale.
This study aims to evaluate a cochlear implant headpiece.
Severe to profound hearing loss affects 0,8% of the global population. For these people, a conventional hearing aid often does not provide sufficient benefit. However, these people can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI). A CI needs to be individually programmed (fitted) for each recipient. A fitting "map" is defined as a set of electrical parameters that are individually adapted to a recipient's needs to achieve optimal sound perception. At present, most CI recipients are fitted with a default frequency allocation map that doesn't take individual variability in size and shape of the cochlea into account. In this study, a fitting strategy based on the post-operative CT scan, that will allow the audiologist to set a frequency-band distribution for CI fitting that may be more closely aligned to the natural tonotopic frequency distribution of a normal hearing cochlea, will be evaluated.
Cochlear fibrosis development can compromise the success and the outcomes of the cochlear implantation (CI) thus affecting the quality of life of the implanted patient. Correlating the results of the Transimpedance Matrix (TIM) measurements to the implant electrode location determined by the Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT), this study aims to identify a range of TIM profiles within the implanted population, certain profiles suggesting the growth of the fibrosis tissue in cochlea
This research is being done to determine whether a test that measures a "Visual Evoked Potential" can be used in a new way for individuals that have hearing loss. This test measures the participant's brain's response (so called "brain waves") to specific visual images. This study will help the investigators determine whether this test could be used to improve treatments for patients with hearing loss. The "Visual Evoked Potential" measurement test is already used in the investigator's Neurology clinic at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center for various conditions to measure "early" brain responses that occur in the first 1-2 seconds after a new cue. Our research aims to explore your brain's response just after that early 1-2 second period by looking at a specific response called the "P300". The P300 wave is a brain response to new or different images or sounds. A visual evoked P300 has not been studied in individuals with hearing loss. The investigators will compare the results of this test to standard auditory tests, tests of cognitive function, and cochlear implant patient outcomes to explore how these factors can predict successful use of a hearing aid or cochlear implant.
A phase 2 trial with LY3056480 in patients with stable SNHL
To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation of SLC26A4 mutations in cochlear-implanted patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct.
An evaluation of Cochlear's cochlear implant electrode array which passively elutes dexamethasone for a defined period of time to help reduce inflammatory responses.
The purpose of the feasibility study is to investigate hearing performance (audiometry and speech perception) using the CI624 in a group of adults (n=15) with low-frequency residual hearing who meet inclusion criteria.
