Effect of social determinants of health on adherence to the early hearing detection and intervention 1-3-6 benchmarks at University of Rochester Medical Center

Clinicians working in EHDI programs should consider screening patients for social risk factors (e.g., insurance status, transportation, zip code) and implementing targeted follow-up protocols for at-risk families, as social determinants appear to drive loss to follow-up.

The symptoms and treatment of congenital inner ear malformation: a national-level study comparing the TriNetX research network with Epic Cosmos

This descriptive epidemiological study clarifies symptom and treatment patterns for congenital inner ear malformations at a national scale, but does not evaluate treatment outcomes; no immediate change to clinical management protocols is indicated.

Risk prediction model for adverse outcomes during and after cochlear implantation in children with inner ear abnormalities

This risk prediction model, if externally validated, could guide preoperative counseling and surgical planning for pediatric cochlear implantation in children with inner ear abnormalities — but external validation is needed before clinical adoption.

The effectiveness of theory of mind intervention in Persian-speaking 5-7-year-old children using hearing aids and cochlear implants: A randomized controlled trial

This RCT provides direct evidence to evaluate whether theory of mind intervention is effective for pediatric hearing aid and cochlear implant users aged 5–7; if results are positive, audiologists and speech-language pathologists working with this population should consider...

Regional barriers and innovative solutions in the medical rehabilitation of children with cochlear implants in Uzbekistan: A telemonitored home-based versus center-based comparative study

Telemonitored home-based cochlear implant rehabilitation may offer a viable alternative to center-based care in resource-limited or geographically challenging settings; however, the case for changing practice depends on the full outcome data, so early adopters should await peer...

Diagnostic accuracy of bone-conducted cervical vestibular- evoked myogenic potentials in early infancy: a prospective cohort study

Bone-conducted cVEMP shows promise as a vestibular screening tool in early infancy, but this is a single prospective cohort; wait for replication and normative data before adopting routinely.

Predicting abnormal auditory brainstem response outcomes using risk factors

If validated, a risk-factor model for abnormal ABR outcomes could help prioritize which children need expedited electrophysiological testing, but findings from this single study should not yet change referral thresholds.

Transoral endoscopic approach for thyroglossal duct cysts in pediatric patients: Technique, safety, and feasibility

While outside direct audiology practice, minimally invasive pediatric neck surgeries can occasionally intersect with ENT-audiology multidisciplinary care pathways, but this specific study has no meaningful relevance to hearing care.

Click and chirp evoked auditory brainstem responses in infants whose mothers had COVID-19 during pregnancy

If the study finds ABR differences in COVID-19-exposed infants, audiologists should be alert to potential auditory pathway delays in this group, though no practice change is warranted until results are replicated in larger controlled studies.
