PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Tinnitus·5d agoA Dual Behavioral and Electrophysiological Evaluation of the Sodium Salicylate Induced Tinnitus Model in Rats: Comparing Click and Chirp Stimuli in Auditory Brainstem ResponsesOptimising the stimuli used in animal tinnitus models improves the reliability of preclinical research, which is a necessary step toward developing and validating future tinnitus therapies.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Public health & policy·5d agoThe hearing healthcare workforce: insights into density, distribution and opportunities for capacity-developmentGlobal shortfalls in hearing healthcare workers are a critical bottleneck to achieving universal hearing care, and understanding their distribution is the first step toward targeted capacity-building.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5d agoVirtual reality and VR-like technologies for the assessment and rehabilitation of concussion-related vestibular and oculomotor dysfunction: a systematic reviewVR and VR-like tools show promise for concussion-related balance and eye-movement problems, but evidence quality and study designs vary enough that clinicians should not replace validated vestibular assessments with VR protocols yet without consulting updated clinical guidelines.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Vestibular·5d agoAn update on neuro-otology and neuro-ophthalmology - focusing on new developments in the last three yearsClinicians managing vestibular and neuro-otological conditions should read this update for recent diagnostic and treatment advances, but individual practice changes should be based on evaluating the specific primary studies cited rather than the narrative review alone.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·AI & technology·5d agoData-Driven Prediction of Speech-in-Noise Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Machine Learning ModelsMachine learning models show promise for predicting speech-in-noise performance, but until clinical validation benchmarks and standardised input features are established, audiologists should not replace behavioural speech-in-noise testing with AI-predicted scores.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·5d agoOccupational noise effects on hearing thresholds, speech perception, and self-reported hearing abilities in young adult dental hospital personnelDental professionals may warrant earlier routine hearing monitoring given potential occupational noise exposure, but this cross-sectional design cannot confirm causation — no immediate change to audiological clinical practice is indicated.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Research (general)·5d agoSmall Molecule Therapeutic Approaches With a Greater Focus on Hearing Loss: A ReviewNo small-molecule therapy for hearing loss is currently approved for routine clinical use; this review is background science and requires no change to clinical practice at this time.＋Save

PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·6d agoPetrous apex metastasis revealing prostate cancer: a rare case report and review of literatureAudiologists and ENT-adjacent clinicians should be aware that unexplained symptoms in the temporal bone region can occasionally signal a distant cancer; however, this single case report does not change routine audiology practice.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·6d agoPapilledema as the Initial Manifestation of Styloidogenic Jugular Venous Compression SyndromeRecognising styloidogenic jugular venous compression as a cause of raised intracranial pressure expands the differential for unexplained papilledema and has indirect relevance to tinnitus and pulsatile conditions evaluated in audiology.＋Save
PU¶PubMed·Journal article·Clinical audiology·6d agoAutomated Question-and-Answer-Based Speech-In-Noise Hearing Test Using a Large Language ModelClinicians should monitor this technology; if validated in diverse populations, an LLM-driven unsupervised speech-in-noise test could extend screening access, but it is not yet ready to replace standard supervised testing.＋Save
