1. A Study to Evaluate Electrophysiological Measurements in Cochlear Implant Patients

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to perform electrophysiological (inner ear) measurements to assess hearing function in cochlear implant patients.

    

    

2. A Study to Develop a Vestibular and Balance Function Measure (VBFM) Tool

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is develop a tool called the Vestibular and Balance Function Measure (VBFM) to evaluate vertigo, dizziness, or balance problems that affect patients; ability to perform tasks and participate in activities.

3. A Study of Factors That Predispose, Promote, and Perpetuate Post-Traumatic Dizziness

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to investigate whether recent, groundbreaking discoveries about key pathophysiologic processes that drive chronic dizziness in patients without traumatic brain injury (TBI9,10) are applicable to patients with post-mTBI vestibular disability. We expect the results of this project to have practical clinical and research applications, providing novel data for two future steps:

4. Hearing Genomics

   Rochester, Minn.

   Aims, purpose, or objectives:

   1) Develop hypotheses related to how the human genome and genetic variants affect hearing loss in children and adults.

   2) Understand phenotypes of hearing loss on a deeper level by combining and analyzing information from audiometric, genetic, and radiologic data.

   3) Explore genetic variants with an unknown significance to develop an understanding of their potential significance and explore other genes may influence an individual's hearing ability.

5. A Study to Evaluate Quality of Life Outcomes for Cholesteatoma

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of life scores for patients that have undergone subtotal petrosectomy and ear canal closure for cholesteatoma and/or chronic otitis media utilizing two previously validated quality-of-life scales.

6. A Study to Evaluate Impedance Monitoring in Cochlear Implants

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine changes in cochlear implant electrode impedances as a function over a period of time.
