Deaf Acoustics: Listening Through Hearing Aids with Thomas Edison

Reframing 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.

Age-dependent Shifts in Spiral Ganglion Neuron Subtypes Are Associated with Interphase Gap-dependent Modulation of Electrically Evoked Compound Action Potentials in Mice

No 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.

Development of the Surgical Implantation and Fixation of an Implanted Middle Ear Microphone, the "UmboMic," in Cadaveric Sheep

Implanted 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.

White Matter Alterations Are More Robust Than Gray Matter Differences in Tinnitus and Hearing Loss: An MRI Study of Military Personnel

Identifying robust neuroimaging biomarkers for tinnitus and hearing loss in military populations could accelerate research into brain-based mechanisms of these conditions and the development of objective diagnostic or treatment-monitoring tools.

Evaluating 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 Users

eCAP 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.
