Deaf Awareness Week: Step inside the box

High-profile public awareness campaigns can reduce stigma around hearing loss and increase the number of people who seek audiological help, benefiting the broader field.

Italian owners evoke "mixed feelings" at GN

A change in ownership of a major hearing aid manufacturer could reshape product development priorities, brand identity, and supply relationships across the global audiology market.

Sensory processing differences and behavioural problems in children with autism: a retrospective study using statistical modelling and multi-output machine learning

Sensory processing differences are meaningful predictors of behavioral problems in autistic children, but this retrospective, modelling-based study is too preliminary to change clinical assessment protocols; audiologists should note the auditory sensory dimension but await...

Effects of Multimodal Acoustic Therapy for Children With Cochlear Implants: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This RCT provides early evidence that smartphone-delivered MAT may improve rehabilitation outcomes in pediatric cochlear implant users; clinicians should monitor the full published results before adopting the protocol, but the design is rigorous enough to take seriously.

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.

Unraveling the fluid mechanical mechanisms of sound production in pulsatile tinnitus using high-fidelity CFD

This CFD modelling study advances mechanistic understanding of venous pulsatile tinnitus linked to intracranial hypertension, but is not yet translatable to clinical practice; no actionable change for audiologists at this stage.

Using the probability of recovery from an acute unilateral vestibulopathy to determine the severity of the vestibular loss: Development of a multivariate PROBIT model

Clinicians assessing acute unilateral vestibulopathy may gain prognostic value from this PROBIT model using vHIT VOR gain data, but external validation in independent cohorts is needed before routine adoption.

Physiotherapy-based concussion management outcomes are similar for children whether care is provided in-person or via telehealth

With only 23 participants, this study is too underpowered to reliably confirm equivalence between in-person and telehealth concussion physiotherapy; clinicians should treat results as hypothesis-generating rather than practice-changing.

Hearing Aid Efficacy-Timely Trial Finds Professional Guidance Trumps Costly Tech

This trial supports prioritising high-quality audiological fitting and counselling over premium hearing aid technology alone — audiologists should emphasise their professional value proposition when discussing device options with patients.

Mobile Application as a Digital Therapeutic for Chronic Tinnitus: A Randomized Clinical Trial

If the app demonstrated significant efficacy, audiologists managing chronic tinnitus patients should consider whether a CBT-based digital therapeutic could complement or extend clinic-based tinnitus management — specific outcome data from the trial should be reviewed before...

Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Robot-Assisted Cochlear Implant Electrode Array Insertion

Evidence is emerging that robot-assisted cochlear implant electrode insertion may reduce intracochlear trauma and improve insertion consistency, but clinicians should await peer-reviewed outcome data before adopting this approach over standard manual technique.

Multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation after head and neck radiotherapy

Head and neck radiotherapy patients often experience co-occurring hearing loss alongside oral complications, underscoring the value of coordinated multidisciplinary care that may include audiology.

Auditory Skills and Cognitive Functions in Adult Hearing Aid Users: A Cross-Sectional Observational Comparison Study

This cross-sectional design cannot establish causality; audiologists should note the association between hearing aid use and cognitive function as hypothesis-generating, not as evidence to change counseling practice on cognitive benefits.

The efficacy and cerebral hemodynamics mechanisms of acupuncture on the posterior circulation ischemic stroke with vertigo: study protocol for a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial

This is a trial protocol only — no results are available yet; audiologists managing stroke-related vertigo should make no practice changes based on this publication alone.

Modulation statistics allow robust prediction of speech recognition accuracy across many words, voices, and natural background sounds

This preprint offers a potentially valuable acoustic framework for predicting speech-in-noise performance, but findings require peer review and clinical validation before influencing hearing aid fitting or speech-in-noise test selection.

Earth Vertical Motions Disrupt Sleep and Next Day Performance

Highlights a previously underexplored link between vestibular (balance system) stimulation during sleep and daytime cognitive function, opening a research avenue relevant to audiologists and vestibular specialists.

Counseling in audiology practice in Saudi Arabia: perceptions, confidence, training experiences, and barriers - a cross-sectional survey

Audiologists in Saudi Arabia report gaps in counseling confidence and training; clinics with international staff or training programs should review whether counseling competency gaps identified here apply to their own settings.

How Expensive is ENT Surgeons' Involvement in Retrosigmoid Craniotomies? A Time-Driven Activity-Based Cost Analysis

As healthcare systems face cost pressures, quantifying the value of ENT involvement in skull-base surgeries helps justify or scrutinize multidisciplinary team costs — indirectly affecting referral pathways for audiology patients with acoustic neuromas or similar tumors.

Trigeminal Neuralgia in NF2-Related Schwannomatosis

NF2-related schwannomatosis frequently presents to audiologists due to vestibular schwannomas (acoustic neuromas), and recognizing associated neurological complications like trigeminal neuralgia supports comprehensive multidisciplinary care.
