PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·2d agoDeaf Acoustics: Listening Through Hearing Aids with Thomas EdisonReframing deafness as a source of specialized 'sonic expertise' rather than deficit challenges clinicians and researchers to broaden perspectives on hearing difference and innovation in audiology.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·3w agoAge-dependent Shifts in Spiral Ganglion Neuron Subtypes Are Associated with Interphase Gap-dependent Modulation of Electrically Evoked Compound Action Potentials in MiceNo immediate practice change, but this preclinical mouse study suggests that age-related shifts in spiral ganglion neuron subtypes may partly explain variable cochlear implant outcomes in older recipients — a hypothesis that warrants follow-up in human studies.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·3w agoDevelopment of the Surgical Implantation and Fixation of an Implanted Middle Ear Microphone, the "UmboMic," in Cadaveric SheepImplanted middle ear microphones like the UmboMic could improve active middle ear implants by capturing sound closer to the natural hearing pathway, but feasibility in live subjects is yet to be demonstrated.＋Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·7w agoEvaluating the N1-P2 Interpeak Latency of the eCAP and Its Intertrial Variability as Potential Indicators of Neural Synchrony in the Auditory Nerve of Cochlear Implant UserseCAP N1-P2 interpeak latency and its variability show potential as non-invasive markers of neural synchrony in cochlear implant users, but clinical adoption requires validation in larger, prospective studies with outcome correlations before integration into routine programming.＋Save
