REgeneration of inner ear hair cells with GAmma-secretase INhibitors to regain hearing in patients with sensorineural hearing loss (REGAIN)
Start date: May 1, 2015, End date: Oct 31, 2018,
...he underlying biological causes of hearing loss in a safe way are expected to meet a real medical need for millions of patients, who currently rely on the limited benefits provided by hearing aids or cochlear implants. The partners involved in REGAIN represent the current state of the art in regenerative hearing loss research in the EU. REGAIN will break through that current state of the art, and ...

Cross-modal plasticity and functional modularisation in the deaf (CP-FunMoD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2015, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
...with earlier onset and longer durations being associated with increased CP. Importantly, previous studies have suggested that the presence of such CP may negatively influence clinical outcomes of cochlear implantation. This has notably resulted in clinicians discouraging parents from teaching sign-language to deaf children for fear that the use of a visual language will promote CP and interfere wi ...

Improved Communication through Applied Hearing Research (ICanHear)
Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,
ICanHear will develop models based on emerging knowledge about higher-level processing within the auditory pathway and exploit that knowledge to develop creative solutions that will improve the performance of hearing instruments. New signal processing methods will be implemented on a unified open signal processing platform and will be evaluated in terms of user benefits on common evaluation scenar ...

Intelligent Manufacture from Powder by Advanced Laser Assimilation (IMPALA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,
IMPALA will develop flexible and efficient Rapid Manufacturing processes of custom parts or small batches. SME end users will be at the forefront of this project, helping them increase their annual turnover by 20-50%, by producing a diversified range of high value components. Currently, manufacturing custom products such as artificial teeth can take several days or weeks and is very expensive. Thi ...
