Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a subject must meet all of the following criteria:
  • \- Patients aged 18 or older.
  • \- Normal function of middle ear (i.e. no acute middle ear infections or tympanic membrane perforations). Air bone gap (reflecting middle\-ear function) \<10 dB.;Additional inclusion criteria for normal hearing group:
  • \- Hearing within normal range: hearing threshold for individual frequencies \<\= 20 dB HL; the average over 0\.5,1,2 and 4 kHz \<\= 15 dB HL;Additional inclusion criteria for SSD group:
  • \- Hearing in \*deaf\* ear: hearing threshold for individual frequencies (0\.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) \>\= 70 dB HL.
  • \- Hearing in \*normal\* ear: hearing threshold for individual frequencies (0\.5, 1, 2, 4 kHz) \<\= 30 dB HL. Note that near\-normal hearing (not normal but no hearing aid needed) is included by applying a less stringent criterion than for the normal\-hearing subjects.

Exclusion Criteria

  • A potential 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. ossification).
  • \- Disability which could interfere with the completion of the tests (i.e. psychiatric problems or severe co\-morbidity with an expected survival of less than five years).
  • \- Patients with contraindications for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • \- Not fulfilling the criteria of the MRI inclusion list (see file F), including the presence of any type of metal in the body, tattoos on the skin and pregnancy.
