Language Development in Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children: An Ecological Systems Perspective

This ecological review does not introduce new clinical protocols, but reinforces that audiologists and educators should assess family, cultural, and social factors—not just hearing device use—when planning support for deaf and hard-of-hearing children.

Broadband Noise Acoustic Stapedial Reflex Thresholds as a Marker of Cochlear and Neural Integrity in Individuals with Normal Audiograms

Broadband noise acoustic stapedial reflex thresholds show promise as a non-invasive marker for cochlear synaptopathy or neural integrity issues in patients with normal audiograms; if findings replicate, this could be added to the diagnostic workup for 'hidden hearing loss' and...

Sigmoid Sinus Wall Reconstruction for Venous Pulsatile Tinnitus: A Critical Review of Surgical Outcomes, Hemodynamic Evidence, and Pressure-Associated Findings

SSWR appears to be an effective surgical option for venous pulsatile tinnitus in appropriately selected patients; audiologists and ENT teams should be familiar with hemodynamic criteria and post-surgical audiological monitoring needs, though patient selection standards are not...

Behavioral and Subjective Music Perception and Appreciation in Adults with Hearing Aids, Cochlear Implants, and Typical Hearing

Clinicians fitting hearing aids or cochlear implants should be aware that music perception remains significantly impaired relative to typical hearing; music rehabilitation counselling and device-specific music programs are worth discussing with patients who value music.
