Discussion

Signed responses from readers of the wire.

✦ Clinical Takeaway ✦

No actionable change for audiology practice; this study concerns dental manifestations of rare genetic syndromes and has no relevance to hearing care.

✦ Why It Matters ✦

This article has no meaningful relevance to audiology, hearing loss, or hearing rehabilitation and appears to have been included in this feed in error.

✦ Key Points ✦

01Multicenter study characterizes external crown resorption in a rare syndromic population.
02Patients had both amelogenesis imperfecta (enamel defect) and junctional epidermolysis bullosa (fragile skin disorder).
03Study is descriptive and aims to improve recognition of this dental complication.
04No audiology relevance; condition does not involve hearing or vestibular systems.
05Published in a dental/craniofacial journal, not an audiology outlet.

Impaired speech-in-noise perception in individuals with a history of hearing symptoms after noise exposure

Audiologists should consider supplementing standard audiograms with speech-in-noise testing for patients reporting noise-exposure symptoms, as normal thresholds alone may miss clinically meaningful hearing dysfunction consistent with cochlear synaptopathy (hidden hearing loss).
