Establishing reliable neural health measures in adult cochlear implant users

Establishing reliable neural health metrics is foundational to enabling objective, implant-driven longitudinal monitoring of auditory nerve status in CI users — a key gap in current clinical practice.

Incomplete binaural restoration in single-sided deafness treated with cochlear implants: insights from compensatory head-orienting behaviors

Clinicians should counsel single-sided deafness (SSD) cochlear implant recipients that spatial hearing and sound localization are likely to remain partially impaired even with a well-functioning implant; head-orienting behavior may serve as a useful functional outcome marker.

Beyond speech perception: contemporary landscape of language agnostic hearing assessment

Audiologists assessing cochlear implant outcomes should consider supplementing standard speech-perception tests with language-agnostic measures, particularly for non-English-speaking or multilingual patients — this review provides a conceptual framework but not yet a validated...

Electromyographic responses of the auriculomotor system during effortful listening in hearing aid users

Auriculomotor electromyography is a promising research-stage biomarker for listening effort in hearing aid users, but it is not yet validated for routine clinical use; no practice change is indicated.

Phenotype-guided selection of venlafaxine and topiramate for vestibular migraine: a narrative review

Clinicians managing vestibular migraine patients may consider phenotype-guided drug selection (venlafaxine vs. topiramate) based on symptom profile, but the evidence base is narrative review level only—no RCT data support definitive preference.

Signal-specific performance of in-ear EEG: strengths and limitations

In-ear EEG could eventually enable real-time, unobtrusive brain-state monitoring in hearing-aid and cochlear-implant users, making this a foundational benchmark for the field.

Using cortical auditory-evoked potential responses to verify the objective benefit of aural rehabilitation in adult cochlear implant users

CAEPs show promise as an objective tool for verifying rehabilitation benefit in adult CI users; audiologists working in CI programs may consider integrating CAEP measurement into outcomes tracking, though broader validation is still needed before routine adoption.

High resolution, contrast-enhanced X-ray microscopy of the ex vivo human cochlea: technical feasibility and biometric case analysis

High-resolution X-ray microscopy of the cochlea could advance cochlear implant design, surgical planning, and our fundamental understanding of inner ear anatomy if translated to pre-surgical imaging.
