Development of and adherence to artificial gravity and resistive vibration exercises during 60 days of hypoxic 6° head-down tilt bed rest: BRAVE study

This paper has no meaningful relevance to audiology; it appears in an audiology feed likely due to indexing overlap and can be deprioritised.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·1d ago

Homing pigeon navigation relies on superparamagnetic macrophages under overcast conditions

This paper has no meaningful relevance to audiology; it appears in an audiology feed likely due to broad indexing and can be deprioritised.

PubMed·Journal article·Cochlear implants·1d ago

Response to a Letter to the Editor Regarding "A Unique Perspective: Intrapatient Comparison of Perimodiolar and Lateral Wall Cochlear Implant Electrodes"

The ongoing debate on perimodiolar versus lateral wall electrode performance in the same patient informs cochlear implant candidacy counselling and electrode selection, making it relevant to implant teams even at the letter-response stage.

PubMed·Journal article·Pediatric·1d ago

The association between hearing loss and treatment requiring retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants

Clinicians caring for preterm infants who required ROP treatment should be aware of a potential association with hearing loss, supporting thorough audiology follow-up screening in this population; however, the retrospective design limits causal conclusions.

PubMed·Journal article·Pediatric·1d ago

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.

PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·1d ago

Ten years after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA): Why did we abandon the transoral route?
