4. Audio-tactile brain plasticity in children using cochlear implants
Beneficiary: Oticon, Denmark For people who use cochlear implants, even the presence of moderate noise or acoustic scenes with multiple talkers can severely degrade speech understanding. When children with cochlear implants are integrated […]

3. Neural mechanisms of cross-modal plasticity in Hearing Impairment (animal model)
Beneficiary: Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH), Germany Congenital hearing loss deprives the brain from a sensory stimulus and leads to widespread adaptations, including take over of auditory brain resources by visual […]

2. Individual anatomic factors in underperforming patients
Beneficiary: HörSys, Germany We plan to combine technological factors (i.e. the dimensions and exact placement of the cochlear implant, its stimulation parameters, …) and biological factors (i.e. inter-individual variation of […]

1. Restoring binaural hearing in children with single sided deafness
Beneficiary: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium The goal of this research project is to investigate the cortical reorganization of children with single sided deafness (SSD) following intervention with a cochlear implant, […]
