Hearing Minds: optimizing hearing performance in deaf cochlear implanted individuals (HEARING MINDS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2017,

"The regular use of an adequate hearing aid increases the chance of keeping hearing impaired patients communicatively, socially and economically active. Many profoundly deaf patients are potential candidates for cochlear implantation. The optimal use of such a device requires that the cochlear implant speech processor be adjusted so that sounds perceived by the patient are representational and at ...

OPTImization of the automated Fitting to Outcomes eXpert with language-independent hearing-in-noise test battery and electro-acoustical test box for cochlear implant users (OPTI-FOX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"Patients suffering from sensori-neural hearing loss caused by damaged hair cells in the cochlea and diagnosed as being profoundly deaf, are potential candidates for cochlear implantation. Today, there are a number of important limitations with respect to the optimal use of these devices in deaf patients. Firstly, cochlear implant speech processors need to be adjusted so that sounds perceived by t ...

Dual electric-acoustic speech processor with linguistic assessment tools for deaf individuals with residual low frequency hearing (DUAL-PRO)

Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Jun 30, 2010,

"Scientific and technological background. To date, individuals with sensorineural hearing loss may benefit from either acoustic stimulation (classical hearing aids) or electric stimulation (cochlear implants). Classical hearing aids are best suited to amplify low frequencies and as such, provide important information for the perception of music and sounds in background noise, but do not support hi ...
