PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·7d agoEnergy Efficiency in Cochlear Implants: The Impact of Electrode Design and Activation TimingElectrode design and activation timing appear to influence cochlear implant energy consumption, but the retrospective cross-sectional design limits causal conclusions; no immediate change to implant programming or electrode selection protocols is warranted until prospective data...
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2w agoEvaluation of a fine structure sound-coding strategy for acoustic perception in newly cochlear implant usersmay inform fine-structure coding strategy selection for newly implanted CI users, but given this appears to be a small early study, clinicians should await replication in larger samples before changing programming protocols.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2w agoEffects of Interaural Timing Delays on Speech Perception in Noise in Bilateral Cochlear Implant UsersFindings on how interaural timing delays degrade speech-in-noise performance in bilateral CI users may guide recommendations for synchronization between bilateral CI processors, though direct programming guidance awaits further validation.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Pediatric·4w agoProgressive Hearing Loss in Childhood - A Prognostic Factor Systematic ReviewAudiologists monitoring children with hearing loss should factor in identified prognostic markers (e.g., aetiology, genetics) when planning surveillance schedules, though specific clinical protocols will depend on individual guideline updates informed by this evidence synthesis.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Pediatric·4w agoPerspectives on ear reconstruction and hearing intervention in microtia-atresia: insights from parent-child dyads and adultsAudiologists counseling patients with microtia-atresia should be aware that patient and family values strongly shape decisions about hearing rehabilitation and ear reconstruction; incorporating shared decision-making frameworks that reflect these perspectives is warranted,...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5w agoWhat Do Vestibular Tests Reveal in Vestibular Migraine?Audiologists should be aware that vestibular migraine produces variable and often non-specific balance test results; no single test profile is currently diagnostic, but awareness of patterns can support referral decisions.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·5w agoSpeech recognition of adult cochlear implant users with unilateral hearing loss: Default versus place-based mapping proceduresAudiologists fitting cochlear implants in unilateral hearing loss patients should note this comparison of default vs. place-based mapping, but given this is a brief report with likely limited sample size, changes to mapping protocols are not yet justified without corroborating...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·7w agoClinical otoneurological differences between vestibular migraine and probable vestibular migraineOtoneurological testing can distinguish vestibular migraine from probable vestibular migraine, and audiologists should be aware that hearing loss may be present in both groups, which has implications for differential diagnosis with conditions like Ménière's disease.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·8w agoHigh-Frequency Vibration as a Vestibular Stimulus: From Jerk-Rich Physiology to Clinical ApplicationsClinicians performing vestibular diagnostics should note that skull vibration-induced nystagmus (SVIN) via bone-conducted vibration is an emerging, low-cost bedside tool for lateralizing vestibular asymmetries, though standardization of protocols is still evolving.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2mo agoNear-infrared light protects residual hearing by preserving spiral ganglion neurons in an animal Model of CI SurgeryHearing preservation after cochlear implantation is a high clinical priority, and near-infrared light therapy represents a novel, non-pharmacological approach to protecting spiral ganglion neurons that warrants follow-up human research.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·3mo agoTelemedicine-Enabled Multidisciplinary Preoperative Workflow for Humanitarian Cochlear Implant DeliveryA telemedicine-based multidisciplinary preoperative workflow appears feasible for cochlear implant candidate evaluation in humanitarian settings; clinicians working in or supporting low-resource programs may consider adopting similar models, pending broader validation.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·3mo agoLong-Term Use of Cochlear Implants in the Older Adult PopulationAudiologists treating older adults should be aware that long-term cochlear implant outcomes in the elderly are generally positive but may differ from younger populations; refer eligible older patients and counsel on realistic long-term expectations.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·4mo agoTest Equivalency of the Spanish and English AzBio Sentences Among Bilingual Normal HearersAudiologists testing bilingual patients with AzBio sentences should be cautious about assuming the Spanish and English versions are interchangeable until equivalency data are confirmed; verify normative SNR targets for each language before drawing clinical conclusions.＋Save
