PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Professional practice·10d agoFactors influencing the professional quality of life in South African audiologistsUnderstanding what drives compassion fatigue and burnout in under-resourced audiology settings is critical for workforce retention and the sustainability of hearing healthcare in low- and middle-income countries.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·4w agoBeyond diagnostic categories: sensory processing as a transdiagnostic mechanism in autism, ADHD, and PTSD - a neuropsychoanalytic conceptual analysisA transdiagnostic sensory-processing framework could eventually reshape how audiologists screen and counsel patients who present with comorbid neurodevelopmental or trauma-related conditions.+Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·6w 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.+Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·2mo 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·2mo 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·3mo 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)·3mo 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
