Benefits of the HiResolution Bionic Ear System in Adults With Asymmetric Hearing Loss

Hearing LossEar Diseases4 more

The purpose of this feasibility study is to evaluate the benefit of unilateral implantation in adults who have severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in one ear, and up to moderate sensorineural hearing loss in the other ear (asymmetric hearing loss).

A Randomised Controlled Trial Comparing Bone Anchored Hearing Aid With Bonebridge

Hearing LossConductive1 more

The Bonebridge is a new bone conducting implantable hearing aid. The investigators plan to randomize patients to receive either the Bonebridge or a conventional bone conducting hearing device. The investigators will then compare the surgical and audiological outcomes of the two groups.

Clinical Performance of a Transcutaneous Bone Conduction Hearing Solution (Baha® Attract System)...

DeafnessHearing Loss2 more

The rationale behind this clinical performance investigation is to collect data regarding the usability of the Baha Attract System in patients with hearing impairment that are candidates for Baha surgery: To describe the expected hearing performance with the Baha Attract in comparison to unaided hearing thresholds or a pre-test situation using a sound processor together with a softband Which sound processor to select, i.e. BP100 vs BP110 Improve the fitting process for the sound processor Selection of sound processor magnet at time of fitting and over time

Audiological Benefit and Improved Quality of Life With Two Bone Conduction Systems: ADHEAR vs. Bonebridge...

Bone Conduction DeafnessHearing Loss1 more

Patients implanted with a Bonebridge will be asked to be part of the study. The study subjects are enrolled into the study according to inclusion criteria. Patients will be asked to wear an adhesive bone conduction device an adapt to it for 30-60 min. After this time period patients will be asked to use the adhesive device instead of the Bonebridge for 3 weeks. Audiologic Tests and quality of life questionnaires will be assessed at the beginning of the study and at the end of three weeks.

Auditory Rehabilitation and Cognition in Alzheimer Patients

Alzheimer's DiseaseHearing Loss

Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disease. Recent studies suggest that subjects with hearing loss are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Hearing loss can be consecutive to presbycusis and/or to central auditory dysfunction. Standard audiometric measures with pure tone and speech intelligibility allow the diagnosis of presbycusis. However, to demonstrate central auditory dysfunction, specific audiometric tests as noisy and/or dichotic tests, are needed. Actually, no consensus exists to investigate hearing loss in people with Alzheimer's disease; therefore hearing loss may be an early manifestation of Alzheimer's disease. Until now, investigations and clinical procedure related to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease ignored the hearing ability of the patient. However, the major part of care management and investigations implies the patient's communication ability with caregivers. Hearing loss may be one of the most unrecognized deficit in subjects with Alzheimer's disease. Auditory rehabilitation with hearing aids could benefit to the patient to decrease cognitive decline but this management must be investigate during longitudinal studies in order to demonstrate their efficiency and need to be compared with a placebo.

Improvement of Tinnitus After Oral Zinc on Patients With Noise-induced Hearing Loss

Hearing LossNoise-Induced3 more

Twenty patients with tinnitus and a typical noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) audiogram were included. Each subject underwent an otoscopic examination, distortion product otoacoustic emissions, tinnitus-match testing, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) and serum zinc level analyses. After 2 months of treatment with zinc, all tests were repeated.

Investigating Hearing Aid Frequency Response Curves

Hearing LossSensorineural2 more

Internal research on the manufacturer's hearing aid products has idenitfied areas in which the investigators can improve the hearing aid frequency response curve. This study aims to investigate the current freqeuncy response curve in the manufacturer's products to variations of these curves to determine if hearing aid users prefer the variations over the manufacturer's standard curve.
