A Wearable Research System for Combined Cochleo-Vestibular Stimulation Open
Cochlear implants (CI) are a well-established treatment option for patients with severe to profound hearing loss, while vestibular implant (VI) trials give a promising outlook for patients with severely impaired vestibular function. In a n…

Prevalence of Vestibular Disorders in Independent People Over 50 That Experience Dizziness Open
People aged over 50 are the most likely to present to a physician for dizziness. It is important to identify the main cause of dizziness in order to develop the best treatment approach. Our goal was to determine the prevalence of benign pa…

Speech Perception With Novel Stimulation Strategies for CombinedCochleo-Vestibular Systems Open
Cochlear implants are very well established in the rehabilitation of hearing loss and are regarded as the most successful neuroprostheses to date. While a lot of progress has also been made in the neighboring field of specific vestibular i…

StableEyes—A Portable Vestibular Rehabilitation Device Open
The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is the primary mechanism for stabilizing vision during rapid head movements. We have developed a training technique that typically increases the VOR response a minimum of 15% after 15 mins of training. Thi…

The α9-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α9-nAChR) subunit is expressed in the vestibular and auditory periphery, and its loss of function could compromise peripheral input from the predominantly cholinergic efferent vestibular system (EVS…

Prevalence of Vestibular Disorder in Older People Who Experience Dizziness Open
Dizziness and imbalance are clinically poorly defined terms, which affect ~30% of people over 65 years of age. In these people, it is often difficult to define the primary cause of dizziness, as it can stem from cardiovascular, vestibular,…

The mammalian efferent vestibular system plays a crucial role in the high-frequency response and short-term adaptation of the vestibuloocular reflex Open
Although anatomically well described, the functional role of the mammalian efferent vestibular system (EVS) remains unclear. Unlike in fish and reptiles, the mammalian EVS does not seem to play a role in modulation of primary afferent acti…
