The Global Burden of Eustachian Tube Dysfunction in Older Patients: Pathophysiology, Clinical Consequences, Diagnostic Challenges and Therapeutic Perspectives-A SANRA-Based Study

No immediate practice change; this narrative review synthesizes existing knowledge on ETD in older adults and highlights diagnostic gaps but does not introduce new evidence or updated guidelines.

PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·11d ago

Sedentary Time and Current Tinnitus in Midlife Korean Women (Aged 40 to 64 Years): A Cross-Sectional Analysis from KNHANES 2014-2018

Cross-sectional design prevents causal conclusions; audiologists cannot yet recommend reduced sedentary time as a tinnitus intervention, but the finding adds to lifestyle-factor research worth monitoring.

PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·11d ago

Quality of Life, Self-Esteem, and Social Integration in Cochlear Implant Recipients: A Cross-Sectional Study from a Tertiary Center in Romania

Audiologists should consider incorporating validated quality-of-life and self-esteem measures alongside standard audiological tests when counseling and evaluating cochlear implant recipients.

PubMed·Journal article·Public health & policy·3w ago

Digital Referral Patterns for Otolaryngology Subspecialties: A Two-Year Nationwide Analysis in Saudi Arabia

Understanding digital referral bottlenecks in ENT/audiology pathways at a national level can inform health system planning and improve patient access to hearing care.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3w ago

Neuroperiodization After Sport-Related Concussion: A Perspective on Adaptive Load Prescription Within the Amsterdam Return-to-Sport Strategy

For audiologists who manage post-concussion vestibular symptoms, emerging concussion rehabilitation frameworks may eventually intersect with vestibular rehabilitation protocols, though this perspective offers no immediate clinical guidance for hearing care.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·5w ago

Sensor-Based Movement Quality Assessment and Biofeedback for Rehabilitation Exercise: A Scoping Review with Implications for Home-Based and Remote Rehabilitation

As telehealth and home-based vestibular rehabilitation grow, evidence-based sensor and biofeedback frameworks can help audiologists and vestibular therapists design and monitor remote programs more effectively.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5w ago

Investigation of Variations in Brain Activity Associated with Dizziness and Head Position Alterations During Gait

Mapping the brain activity patterns linked to dizziness during real-world movement could eventually guide more targeted vestibular therapies and neuromodulation approaches.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·7w ago

Mechanistic Pathways Linking Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and Osteoarthritis to Falls in Older Adults: A Scoping Review

Understanding the overlapping mechanistic pathways to falls in older adults can help audiologists contextualize vestibular findings and strengthen the case for integrated fall-prevention programs.

PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2mo ago

Cochlear Implants in Inner Ear Malformations-Considerations Regarding the Role of Imaging in Preoperative Evaluation

Surgeons and audiologists involved in cochlear implant candidacy should ensure comprehensive pre-operative imaging protocols that capture cochlear dimensions, as malformation morphology directly influences electrode selection and surgical approach.

PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·2mo ago

A Multidimensional Comparison of Psychosocial Adjustment, Functional Hearing, and Device Benefit in Adult Hearing Device Users

Audiologists should consider multidimensional outcome assessments — combining psychosocial, functional, and device-benefit measures — when evaluating hearing device users, rather than relying on single-domain tools alone.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3mo ago

Balance Disorders: Insufficient Supply of Vestibular Examinations by the Italian National Health Service, 2021-2023

Quantifying the gap between need and supply of vestibular testing highlights a systemic healthcare access problem that may mirror shortfalls in other national health systems globally.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3mo ago

Persistent Dizziness and Time-Domain Dissociation in Vestibular Function: A Hypothesis-Generating Case Series and Spatiotemporal Framework for Targeted Vestibular Rehabilitation

This is hypothesis-generating only; the spatiotemporal framework is not yet validated, so no change to vestibular rehabilitation protocols is warranted until prospective studies confirm the model.

PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·4mo ago

Impact of Smart Hearing Aid Technology on Self-Esteem in Patients with Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Cross-Sectional Multivariate Study

Cross-sectional design prevents causal conclusions; audiologists may note a positive association between smart hearing aid use and self-esteem, but randomised evidence is needed before counselling patients on this outcome.

PubMed·Journal article·Professional practice·4mo ago

Burnout and Job Satisfaction Among Audiologists in Türkiye: A Multidimensional Assessment

Audiologist burnout is an under-researched workforce issue that, if left unaddressed, can threaten care quality and staff retention in audiology services.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5mo ago

Mapping Research on Virtual Reality for Balance, Coordination, and Motor Rehabilitation: A Bibliometric Analysis with Topic Modeling

Understanding where VR rehabilitation research is concentrated — and where it is fragmented — can help guide future study design and highlight gaps relevant to vestibular and balance rehabilitation in audiology.
