Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
  • \- Aged 18 or older
  • \- Normal function of middle ear, i.e., no acute middle ear infections, no tympanic membrane perforations and an air bone gap (which reflects middle\-ear function) \< 10 dB.;Additional inclusion criteria for unilateral deaf groups (same as in CINGLE trial):
  • \- Hearing in \*deaf\* ear: hearing threshold for individual frequencies (0\.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) \>\= 70 dB HL.
  • \- \*Deaf\* ear has been deaf for no longer than 10 years
  • \- Hearing in \*normal\* ear: hearing threshold for individual frequencies (0\.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) \<\= 30 dB HL. Note that near\-normal hearing is included by applying a less stringent criterion than for the normal\-hearing subjects.;Additional inclusion criteria for bilateral deaf group:
  • \- Admitted by cochlear implant team of the UMCU for cochlear implantation based on various clinical criteria.
  • \-Implanted with a CI from manufacturer MED\-EL or Cochlear;Additional inclusion criteria for normal\-hearing group:
  • \- Hearing within normal range: hearing threshold for individual frequencies \<\= 25 dB HL
  • \- Average hearing threshold over 0\.5,1,2 and 4 kHz \<\= 15 dB HL.

Exclusion Criteria

  • A subject who meets any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study:
  • \- Abnormal cochlear anatomy in one or both ears (i.e. malformation or ossification).
  • \- Disability which could interfere with the completion of the tests (i.e. psychiatric problems).
  • \- Patients with contraindications for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) \- not fulfilling the criteria of the MRI inclusion list, including the presence of a pacemaker and pregnancy
