The effect of multimodal sensory stimulation on physiological parameters and consciousness levels in ICU-admitted traumatic brain injury patients: a clinical trial design

This is a trial design paper with no results yet; no change to audiology or rehabilitation practice is warranted at this stage, though the auditory stimulation component may be of future interest to audiologists working in neurorehabilitation.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7d ago

Mechanistic study of HES1/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in cisplatin-induced sensorineural hearing loss

Identifying the molecular mechanism behind cisplatin-induced hearing loss opens a potential therapeutic window to prevent ototoxicity (medication-related hearing damage) without compromising cancer treatment efficacy.

PubMed·Journal article·Hearing aids·9d ago

Cortical activation during auditory working memory varies with hearing aid use status in age-related hearing loss

Early findings suggest hearing aid use is associated with different patterns of brain activation during listening tasks, but the study is too preliminary to recommend changing hearing aid fitting or counselling practices.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2w ago

Assessing the relationships between migraine and driving risks, challenges and coping strategies

Migraine's multisensory integration demands during driving represent a poorly recognised disability burden, and audiologists treating vestibular migraine or hyperacusis (sound sensitivity) patients may need to include driving-related counselling in care plans.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·2w ago

Visually challenging conditions on sign language intelligibility show behavioural analogies with spoken language

Demonstrating cross-modal parallels between visual sign language and auditory spoken language perception deepens our understanding of how the brain processes language under degraded sensory conditions, with implications for rehabilitation and communication accessibility research.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·3w ago

Altered central vestibular processing in Parkinson's disease with Pisa syndrome

Audiologists and vestibular specialists assessing Parkinson's patients should be aware that Pisa syndrome may be linked to measurable central vestibular processing changes; however, clinical protocols cannot yet be updated on the basis of this single study alone.

Semicircular canal dysfunction in profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss and its prognostic value: implications for the proper indication of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Clinicians managing profound sudden sensorineural hearing loss should consider testing semicircular canal function, as dysfunction may serve as a negative prognostic marker and could help refine patient selection for hyperbaric oxygen therapy — pending replication in larger...

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·4w ago

A rule-based mobile screening classifier for six ICVD-defined vestibular disorders: a pilot study

A validated mobile vestibular disorder screener could dramatically improve access to timely diagnosis for patients in primary care and remote settings where specialist equipment is unavailable.

PubMed·Clinical trial·Vestibular·6w ago

The role of temporomandibular joint mobilization in the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: randomized controlled trial

If TMJ mobilization is shown to significantly reduce BPPV recurrence or severity versus sham/usual care, audiologists and vestibular specialists should monitor these findings — but await full results and replication before adding TMJ mobilization to standard BPPV protocols.

PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·6w ago

A detailed DFT inspection on the trapping of aspirin from drinking water using B 12 N 12 nanocage

This article has no meaningful relevance to the audiology field; tinnitus appears only incidentally as a listed aspirin side effect and is not studied.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·6w ago

Automated classification of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo from video-nystagmography using a delay-aware neural network

This AI classifier is not yet validated for clinical deployment, but if replicated and externally validated, it could meaningfully reduce misdiagnosis and speed up BPPV canal identification at the bedside without specialist interpretation.

PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·7w ago

Electromyography of the stapedius muscle via a retrofacial approach and electrically evoked stapedius reflex during cochlear implant surgery: a prospective bicentric study

Intraoperative EMG of the stapedius muscle via a retrofacial approach may provide a reliable objective measure for cochlear implant fitting threshold estimation, but results from this prospective bicentric study should be replicated in larger trials before changing standard...

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7w ago

Therapeutic potential of mitochondrial transfer in reversing mutant-to-wild-type mtDNA ratio and improving mitochondrial dysfunction in 1555A>G mtDNA mutation-associated hearing loss

Mitochondrial transfer represents a potentially transformative gene-correction strategy for inherited hearing loss, and proof-of-concept success could accelerate a new therapeutic class for currently untreatable genetic auditory conditions.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·7w ago

Objective quantification of motion-induced dizziness using a proof-of-concept multimodal wearable platform

, wearable quantification of motion-induced dizziness could fundamentally improve diagnosis and monitoring of vestibular disorders, reducing reliance on subjective symptom scales.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7w ago

Increased prevalence of hearing loss and tinnitus in patients with retinal vein occlusion

Audiologists and ENTs should be aware of the association between retinal vein occlusion and sensorineural hearing loss/tinnitus; consider screening referrals in patients presenting with both ocular vascular history and unexplained hearing complaints, pending further confirmatory...

PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·7w ago

Alpha oscillatory activity reveals focused-attentional disparity between cochlear implant users and normal hearing listeners

Alpha oscillatory activity differences between cochlear implant users and normal-hearing listeners offer a potential biomarker for attention-related outcome variability, but this is preliminary neurophysiological research; no change to CI fitting or rehabilitation practice is...

PubMed·Journal article·Pediatric·8w ago

Analysis of two-year hearing outcomes and risk factors in newborns in the province with the highest annual birth rate in Türkiye

The risk factor profile identified (e.g., NICU admission, infections) aligns with established guidelines; no actionable change to current newborn hearing screening practice is indicated, but the data may inform country-specific referral prioritization in high-birth-rate settings.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·8w ago

Enhancing speech recall and reducing cognitive load through rhythmic amplitude modulated vibrotactile stimulation in noise

Findings are preliminary and from a single study; no change to clinical practice is warranted until replicated in larger, controlled trials with hearing-impaired populations.

PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·2mo ago

Heart rate variability dynamics during virtual reality roller coaster experience: correlations with vestibular function and motion sickness susceptibility

Identifying autonomic (nervous system) and vestibular predictors of motion sickness susceptibility could guide the development of safer VR-based vestibular rehabilitation protocols and patient screening tools.
