Gamma Knife radiosurgery delivered to internal auditory canal glioblastoma under a presumed diagnosis of vestibular schwannoma: illustrative case

This single case underscores the importance of maintaining a broad differential—including rare malignancies—when imaging findings in the internal auditory canal are atypical for vestibular schwannoma, but no change to standard diagnostic protocols can be justified from one case...

Tumor Nerve of Origin and Hearing Preservation Outcomes for Patients With Small Vestibular Schwannomas Undergoing Middle Fossa Craniotomy

Surgeons and audiologists counseling patients with small vestibular schwannomas on middle fossa craniotomy should incorporate tumor nerve of origin into pre-operative hearing preservation discussions, as it appears to predict post-surgical hearing outcomes.

Hearing Aids for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss in Adults

When to Use the HINTS Examination in Patients With Dizziness: A Review

Audiologists and vestibular specialists who perform bedside dizziness assessment should review this guidance on appropriate HINTS application to avoid misclassifying central causes of dizziness as peripheral.

Hearing Aids for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss in Adults-Reply

Author replies in high-impact journals can clarify methodological choices and limitations, shaping how the original findings are interpreted by clinicians and policymakers.

Therapeutic potential of galvanic vestibular stimulation for postural and spatial rehabilitation after stroke: A systematic review

Vestibular and neuro-rehabilitation clinicians should note this review, but GVS is not yet standard of care; await the full paper's conclusions and any strength-of-evidence grading before integrating into stroke rehab protocols.

An ICF-based content analysis of the overlap between questionnaires assessing tinnitus distress and depressive symptoms

Audiologists using tinnitus distress questionnaires should be aware that scores may partly reflect depressive symptoms, which could inflate perceived tinnitus severity; consider routine depression screening alongside tinnitus assessment.

Restoring Cerebral Venous Outflow: Right Internal Jugular to Subclavian Vein Bypass After Ligation in Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

Illustrates a rare but treatable vascular cause of intracranial venous hypertension that can mimic or co-occur with auditory symptoms such as pulsatile tinnitus, underscoring the importance of interdisciplinary referral pathways.

Socioeconomic and Demographic Trends of Cochlear Implant Recipients Who Use Sign Language: A National Database Analysis

Audiologists and implant programs should monitor whether socioeconomic and demographic shifts in ASL-using cochlear implant recipients reflect improved equity or emerging disparities, though no specific practice-change guidance is possible without reviewing the full results.

Behavior Management Strategies for Pediatric Hearing Aid Use: Provider Practices and Perspectives

Audiologists working with pediatric patients may find actionable strategies for improving hearing aid compliance here, but specific recommendations depend on the study's findings — worth reading in full to identify techniques not yet in routine practice.

Evidence for Relationship Between Speech Perception in Noise and Spectrotemporal Modulation Processing in Children With Mild Bilateral Hearing Loss: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Study

This study strengthens the case for assessing spectrotemporal processing in children with mild bilateral hearing loss who struggle with speech-in-noise, but fNIRS is not yet a routine clinical tool — no immediate practice change is warranted pending broader validation.

Degree-based and functional descriptions of paediatric hearing loss: a retrospective chart review

Audiologists writing paediatric assessment reports should consider supplementing degree-based classifications with functional descriptions, as the study highlights inconsistent reporting practices that may hinder multidisciplinary communication and family understanding.
