Wetherspoon speakerphone ban shows importance of Auracast in everyday life

The piece reflects growing industry momentum behind Auracast as a real-world assistive listening solution, which may eventually shape expectations for hearing aid compatibility in public venues.

Smarter Documentation. Better Patient Care.

How chart note efficiencies help support access to new technologies. Hear from fellow audiologists on how they have created efficiencies within their clinical documentation practices....

Jabra Enhance Launches New M Series of Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids

The M Series expands the OTC hearing aid market with a tiered rechargeable lineup, increasing consumer choice and potentially drawing more price-sensitive patients away from clinic-dispensed devices.

We are counting down the days to celebrate with you in Denver at #CochlearCelebration2027?

OTC Hearing Aids Have Lost BILLIONS of Dollars!

One of the biggest names in the over the counter hearing aid market is winding down its United States operations, and it has forced me to admit something I never expected to say, I was wrong about OTC hearing aids....

The Neuroimmune Duality of CD4⁺ T Cells: Drivers of Damage and Repair in the Brain

Understanding how immune cells contribute to neural damage and repair could eventually inform research into immune-mediated hearing disorders such as autoimmune inner ear disease, but that link is not explored here.

Disentangling sensory contributions to postural control regulation through sample entropy and neural modeling: A preliminary study

Quantifying the auditory contribution to postural control could refine vestibular rehabilitation protocols and inform how audiologists counsel patients with combined hearing and balance disorders.

Remote Intraoperative Monitoring of Cochlear Implants

Audiologists and surgical teams involved in cochlear implant monitoring should review this protocol as a practical reference for establishing or expanding remote intraoperative monitoring workflows.

Intraoperative neuromonitoring for preservation of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy: initial experience from Vietnam

While intraoperative nerve monitoring has peripheral relevance to surgical audiology and neuromonitoring subspecialties, this study's findings apply to thyroid surgery teams rather than the broader audiology field.

Etiology and Clinical Characteristics of Conductive Hearing Loss at a Tertiary Hospital in Sudan

Clinicians working in or supporting low-resource settings should be aware that chronic suppurative otitis media dominates conductive hearing loss etiology there, reinforcing the need for infection-prevention and early treatment programs over device-first approaches.

Why Some Bryozoans Poop Themselves: A Novel Defecation Method in Ctenostome Bryozoans

This study has no relevance to the audiology field and should not be included in audiology-focused content streams.

The Effectiveness of Group-based Vestibular Rehabilitation in Adults With Central or Peripheral Vestibular Dysfunction: A Systematic Review

Audiologists and vestibular rehabilitation providers should review this systematic review to determine whether group-based vestibular rehabilitation offers comparable outcomes to individual therapy, which could expand access and reduce cost in balance disorder management.

Supersaccades and Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex Inconsistency Score as Predictors of Gain Recovery After Acute Unilateral Vestibular Loss

Supersaccades and the VOR Inconsistency Score from vHIT may serve as prognostic biomarkers for VOR gain recovery after acute unilateral vestibular loss, but clinical adoption should await replication in larger, prospective cohorts.

The effect of an interaural time difference to level difference transformation method on speech intelligibility in a multi-talker setting

The ITD-to-ILD transformation method shows potential for improving speech intelligibility in multi-talker settings, but this is a basic-science JASA study; no immediate change to hearing-aid fitting practice is warranted without further clinical validation.

Lexical Bias During Speech Perception Increases Under Signal Degradation but Not Cognitive Load

Understanding that lexical bias increases under acoustic degradation but not cognitive load refines our models of speech processing, which can inform the design of listening tests and hearing-device evaluations in noise.

Comparing Digital and Fluorescent Imaging for Detecting White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Patients

This study does not pertain to audiology; it is a dental/orthodontic research article with no implications for the hearing health field.

Vocabulary and Functional Communication in Preschool-Aged Children With Cochlear Implants

Evidence continues to support early cochlear implantation for improving vocabulary and functional communication in preschoolers with congenital hearing loss; audiologists should reinforce timely referral pathways for implant candidacy assessment.

The Neuroprotective Potentials of Dual GIP/GLP1-RA (Tirzepatide): From Preclinical Experiments to Clinical Trials: A Scoping Review

While GLP-1 receptor agonists are an area of growing neuroscience interest, this scoping review does not address auditory neuroprotection or ototoxicity, and offers no current implications for audiology practice.

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness: a phenotype-oriented approach to practical management

Audiologists and vestibular specialists managing PPPD patients should consider a phenotype-based approach to tailor treatment plans, though the review's specific recommendations require validation in prospective trials before broadly changing practice.

Resting-state EEG microstate dynamics indicate altered brain network temporal organization in age-related hearing loss

Demonstrating measurable central nervous system changes in age-related hearing loss using EEG microstates strengthens the neuroscientific basis for treating hearing loss early and may eventually guide biomarker development for auditory-cognitive decline.

Avatar therapy for bothersome tinnitus using an augmented reality mobile application: a pilot feasibility study

Digital and AR-based tinnitus interventions are an emerging frontier; this feasibility work helps establish whether avatar therapy translated into a mobile app is viable enough to test in a powered clinical trial.
