PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·11d agoSleep in Different Types of DizzinessEvidence is preliminary and the patient population is poorly characterized; audiologists and vestibular specialists should be aware that sleep disturbances may differ by vestibular disorder subtype, but current data are insufficient to change screening or treatment protocols.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2mo agoTargeted Vestibular Rehabilitation Accelerates Symptom Relief by Promoting Vestibular Compensation in BPPV Patients With Residual Symptoms: Evidence From Resting-State fMRITargeted vestibular rehabilitation therapy should be considered for BPPV patients with residual dizziness after canalith repositioning, as fMRI evidence now provides a neurological basis for its benefit in this subgroup.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2mo agoVocabulary and Functional Communication in Preschool-Aged Children With Cochlear ImplantsEvidence 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.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·2mo agoThe Neuroprotective Potentials of Dual GIP/GLP1-RA (Tirzepatide): From Preclinical Experiments to Clinical Trials: A Scoping ReviewWhile 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.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3mo agoExpanded Spatiotemporal Concept of Cortical Visual-Vestibular Interaction in Humans: A fMRI Study on Visually Induced Motion PerceptionMapping the brain networks that link vision and vestibular (balance) processing at high resolution may eventually inform rehabilitation strategies for patients with dizziness or balance disorders.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·3mo agoDoes Chronic Neck Pain Matter? Auditory Function in Individuals With Forward Head Posture: An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Comparative StudyPreliminary exploratory findings only — no actionable change to audiology practice is warranted until stronger controlled evidence is available.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·3mo agoMedial Olivocochlear Reflex Strength Predicts Musical Perception and Speech-in-Noise Performance in NonmusiciansNo immediate clinical practice change is indicated, but these findings strengthen the case for measuring MOC reflex strength as a potential biomarker for predicting real-world listening difficulties and musical ability in non-clinical populations.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3mo agoPsychological Well-Being, Neuroticism, and the Risk of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo: A Triangulation StudyIf the causal relationship is confirmed, audiologists and vestibular specialists should consider screening for psychological distress and neuroticism as potential risk factors when managing or counselling BPPV patients, though results should be replicated before changing...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5mo agoFalls and Fear of Falling in Minor Stroke Patients With Vestibular Symptoms: A Longitudinal Observational StudyAudiologists and balance specialists should be aware that minor stroke patients presenting with vestibular symptoms carry elevated long-term fall risk, supporting referral pathways to vestibular rehabilitation and falls-prevention programs.＋Save
