Relationship Between Auto NRT and Behavioural T & C Levels With the Nucleus Freedom Cochlear Implant...

Hearing Loss

Cochlear implants require programming on an individual basis to provide appropriate levels of electrical stimulation. This program, or "map", is placed in the speech processor of the cochlear implant. Success of implantation largely depends on the adequacy of this map. Cochlear implant fitting remains a difficult challenge in congenitally or pre-linguistically deafened children. It requires competence of experienced audiologists with expertise in behavioral techniques for hearing function assessment.Our goal is to establish the offset correlation between objective measurements (NRT and ESRT) and the behavioral measurements of T & Cs in different stimulation rates in the Freedom SP System.

Cochlear Implants : Influence of Microphone Aging and Dirtying

Hard of Hearing

Cochlear implant microphones are subject to aging and dirtying. The evolution may affect their efficiency. Several signal coding strategies are used in cochlear implants and their behaviour may be more or less affected by the aging process. In this work the investigators wish to assess this phenomenon.

Exploring Interventions for Glue Ear During Covid-19

Hearing Impaired ChildrenGlue Ear2 more

During the Coronavirus pandemic children's hearing services are closed or reduced and grommet operations are part of the lowest priority group. In the absence of management options, this research study aims to see if bone conduction headphones either paired (via bluetooth) to a microphone or an app will help children with a hearing loss during this period of waiting. The child's quality of life is measured with validated questionnaires The study is over 3 months, and delivered remotely, with the product being sent to the family home and support offered via telephone/ video consulattion.

Adaptation and Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Parent Training Program for Parents of Deaf and Hard...

Hearing LossBehavior Disorders1 more

Despite being more likely than typical hearing children to experience disruptive behavior problems, children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) rarely receive behavioral interventions to prevent the long-term costly outcomes of behavior problems. This pilot project will systematically adapt an evidence-based behavioral parent training (BPT) intervention to increase its acceptability and relevance for parents of young DHH children. Two parents of DHH children will be trained in the adapted BPT for DHH children. They will each deliver the intervention to five families with DHH preschool-aged children.

Inter Disciplinary Approach to Vocabulary Development in Hearing Impairment

Hearing Impaired Children

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.

Mini-Mental State (MMS-LS) and Sign Language

Prelingual DeafnessRetention Disorders1 more

In France the prevalence of pre-lingual deafness is between 1 and 1.4 per 1000 habitants, and according to very conservative estimates, about 44 000 deaf persons use the sign language. Additionally, the prevalence of dementia in France is close to 1% (850 000 dements for a total population of 65 millions). The prevalence of dementia in pre-lingual deaf adults has also been described and is between 1 and 1.4 /100 000 habitants. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) of Folstein is a test recommended to perform the cognitive evaluation for the detection of mental disorders including dementia, and a consensual French version exists prepared by GRECO (Group of Research and Cognitive Assessments). However, to date, there are no simple, rapid and validated screening tests to study cognitive disorders in deaf persons who use the sign language. The only tests available allow a late diagnosis avoiding an optimal treatment of the patients.

Use of ADHEAR, a Non-Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing System, in Children With Single Sided Deafness...

Conductive Hearing LossSingle Sided Deafness

A hearing loss affects the quality of life and the natural development of children. The new generation of hearing devices provides a huge number of options to them. These new hearing aids are often aesthetically acceptable, less invasive and user-friendly. The ADHEAR Non-Implantable Bone Conduction Hearing System is connected directly to the skin with a special adhesive adapter. The device transmits the sound to the mastoid by vibrating on the skull and stimulates the inner ear without any previous surgery. The objective of this study is to evaluate of the audiological benefit and subjective satisfaction of ADHEAR Audio Processor with Adhesive attachment in a group of children suffering from conductive hearing loss and/or single sided deafness.

Hearing Impairment, Cognitive Therapy and Coping

Hearing LossTinnitus3 more

A randomized controlled study with hearing impaired workers, who have voluntarily signed up for an 8 session cognitive therapy (CBT) course The CBT intervention will be compared to a waiting list control group. Participants who are allocated to the intervention group will be offered to start on the CBT-course immediately, while the control group that will be offered the same course 12 months later. Main outcome measures are assessments of mental distress and vocational coping. We will also assess the distress associated with tinnitus, which is a potential moderator variable.
