PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·18h agoA comparative study of pitch recognition in children with cochlear implants and normal hearing peers across Mandarin tonesAudiologists and speech-language pathologists working with Mandarin-speaking children with cochlear implants should be aware that pitch/tone recognition likely remains a significant challenge, reinforcing the need for tone-specific auditory training in this population.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2d agoPerceptual and sensorimotor adaptations to hypogravity: implications for manual task performance and verticality perceptionUnderstanding how hypogravity disrupts vestibular-driven verticality perception could inform future protocols for astronauts and push basic science understanding of sensorimotor integration.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·2w agoSpace Oddity: microgravity as a neurocognitive catalyst for transformative consciousness experiencesWhile primarily outside audiology, the paper touches on vestibular and perceptual processing systems that overlap with balance and spatial hearing research.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Public health & policy·3w agoWorsened multitasking performance with simulated hearing protection correlates with individuals' choice not to "wear" itNo direct change to audiology clinical practice; findings reinforce that hearing protection comfort and usability — including dual-task performance — should be considered when recommending occupational hearing protection devices.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·7w agoMindfulness-based therapy for chronic tinnitus: a narrative reviewMindfulness-based therapy shows promise for reducing psychological distress in chronic tinnitus patients, but the narrative (non-systematic) review design limits strong practice recommendations; audiologists may cautiously consider it as an adjunct to existing counseling...＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·8w agoThe human brain in space: a meta-analysis of neuroimaging evidenceThis article has no relevance to the audiology field and appears to have been ingested in error; space-related auditory changes (e.g., tinnitus in astronauts) were not the focus.＋Save
