PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·1d agoObjective Comparison of Auditory Profiles Using Manifold Learning and Intrinsic MeasuresIf validated, data-driven auditory profiling could move audiology beyond traditional audiogram categories toward more precise, individualized classification of hearing loss.
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·5d agoEvidence for a Transient State of Auditory Hypersensitivity During Initial Onset of Tinnitus: IDAEP Changes Between Acute and Chronic TinnitusNo immediate practice change; however, clinicians should note that acute tinnitus may involve a transient phase of heightened sound sensitivity (auditory hypersensitivity) that could inform timing and approach of early interventions.＋Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·2w agoEffects of Talker Sex Differences on Binaural Summation in Cochlear Implant Users and Normal Hearing ListenersFindings on talker sex differences in binaural summation for CI users may inform bilateral implant counselling and programming strategies, but replication in larger samples is needed before changing clinical protocols.＋Save
Hearing Health Matters·Blog·Clinical audiology·3w agoBrian Taylor Has An Ear to the GroundBoothroyd's holistic aural rehabilitation framework is well-established rather than new; no immediate change in practice is required, but it is a useful reminder to incorporate counselling and communication strategies beyond device fitting.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·7w agoLocalization of Free-Field Sound Sources in the Chronic Phase of Mild Ischemic StrokeAudiologists seeing post-stroke patients should be aware that even mild ischemic stroke can impair sound localization and binaural processing; formal binaural assessment may be warranted in this population, though practice protocols are not yet established from this single study.＋Save
