Efficient hearing screening in noise-exposed listeners using the Digit Triplet test KU Leuven
OBJECTIVES: Hearing screening in occupational medicine is generally based on pure-tone threshold audiometry. However, reliable and valid thresholds can only be obtained in a sound-proof room, using a high-quality, well-calibrated audiometer, and by a well-trained administrator. Thresholds also need to be determined for several audiometric frequencies. This makes the test time-consuming and expensive, which is not ideal for the screening of large ...
Setting and reaching targets with computer-assisted cochlear implant fitting Universiteit Antwerpen
Objective. The paper aims to demonstrate the feasibility of defining a substantial set of psychoacoustic outcome measures with preset targets and to adopt a systematic methodology for reaching these targets in a large group of subjects, by more than one clinical centre. Design. Retrospective data analysis. Setting. Multicentre with 14 participating centres. Patients. 255 adults and children using the Advanced Bionics HiRes90k cochlear implant. ...
Experiences of the use of FOX, an intelligent agent, for programming cochlear implant sound processors in new users Universiteit Antwerpen
Objective. This report describes the application of the software tool Fitting to Outcomes eXpert (FOX) in programming the cochlear implant (CI) processor in new users. FOX is an intelligent agent to assist in the programming of CI processors. The concept of FOX is to modify maps on the basis of specific outcome measures, achieved using heuristic logic and based on a set of deterministic rules. Design. A prospective study was conducted on eight ...
Twelve years of neonatal hearing screening : audiological and etiological results Universiteit Gent
Purpose Most developed countries have implemented some form of universal newborn hearing screening program. Early identification and rehabilitation of congenital hearing loss is important in functional outcome, and the need to identify the cause of hearing impairment has become clear. We aimed to evaluate audiological and etiological outcomes in a large group of patients with failed neonatal hearing screening. Methods We performed a ...
Objectief en automatisch meten van spraakverstaan KU Leuven
Hearing impairment is considered the most prevalent impairment in the world. Methods to diagnose hearing loss are used for screening, diagnostics and evaluation during rehabilitation with auditory prostheses. We can distinguish between behavioural and objective diagnostic methods. With behavioural methods, active participation of the patient is required, which leads to confounded results, or makes it entirely impossible to test some patients. ...
A diagnostic tool for basic daily quality assurance of a Tomotherapy Hi*Art machine. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
To investigate and evaluate the use of an in-house developed diagnostic software tool using the imaging detector data for a quick daily quality assurance check of the output (dose) and lateral profile (cone) of a tomotherapy Hi*Art system. The Hi*Art treatment system is a radiation therapy machine for delivering intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in a helical fashion with an integrated CT scanner used for improved patient positioning ...
Investigation of the potential of multiscopic VHR satellite imagery for the production of 3D models of complex urban areas Universiteit Gent
Objectives of the Belspo research project MAMUD are to investigate how earth observation can contribute to a better monitoring, modeling and understanding of urban dynamics, and its impact on the urban and suburban environment. The outcome of the research can lead to the develop-ment of a useful tool for urban planning approaches based on sustainable development. While most remote sensing based studies on urban dynamics only consider ...
