Private Practice Hearing Aid Clinics Have Problems Too

Going to a private practice hearing aid clinic—and spending significantly more money—does not automatically guarantee better hearing aids, better care, or a better treatment outcome. In this video, Dr....

Your inner ear has a built-in amplifier. 👂

Your brain doesn’t just receive sound from your ears. It sends signals back, too. Tiny cells in your inner ear help boost sound. Signals from your brain can turn that boost down, helping reduce the interference from background noise. #HearingHealth #InnerEar #Audiology

Banks say GN's Amplifon stake is likely to yield unexpected profits

A potential billion-dollar investment gain for GN could strengthen its balance sheet, influencing future R&D spending, acquisitions, and competitive positioning across the global hearing care market.

Annabel’s personal hearing mission

Practitioner stories highlighting lived experience with hearing loss can inspire patient-centred care approaches across the audiology profession.

Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and bilateral vestibulopathy: A case-control study

are preliminary — a single case-control study is insufficient to recommend routine vitamin D screening or supplementation for bilateral vestibulopathy patients without replication in larger prospective studies.

Age-related decline in vestibulo-ocular reflex gain is associated with an increased sway response to electrical vestibular stimulation

No immediate practice change is warranted, but findings deepen understanding of how aging alters central vestibular compensation — relevant context for interpreting vestibular test results in older patients.

Dynamic and static spontaneous activity alterations and neurotransmitter coupling in chronic tinnitus

Identifying stable and dynamic brain activity signatures in chronic tinnitus, alongside neurotransmitter coupling, may eventually guide the development of targeted neuromodulation or pharmacological therapies for a condition with very few effective treatments.

The Auditory Striatum in Sensory Gating and Perceptual Decision-Making

A clearer model of how the auditory striatum links sound processing to gating and decision-making could reshape understanding of conditions like tinnitus, hyperacusis (sound sensitivity), and auditory processing disorders where these circuits may be disrupted.

Multiple associations between tinnitus and cognition

Clinicians should be aware that tinnitus patients may present with measurable cognitive difficulties; however, this evidence is preliminary and does not yet support a change in routine assessment or management protocols.

Comparing sound localization and speech-in-noise in unilateral, bilateral, single-sided deaf, and bimodal cochlear implant users

When counseling cochlear implant candidates, audiologists can use this comparative data to set realistic expectations about sound localization and speech-in-noise outcomes across different implant configurations.

A model-based analysis of modulation masking effects on vocoded speech intelligibility

Improving models of cochlear implant signal processing may eventually guide the design of better sound coding strategies that enhance speech understanding for CI users.

Influence of Cochlear Microanatomy on Hearing Preservation in Cochlear Implant Recipients

Pre-operative cochlear microanatomical assessment may help predict residual hearing preservation risk; clinicians performing or referring for hearing-preservation CI surgery should monitor this evidence as it matures toward validated predictive tools.

Labyrinthectomy and Cochlear Implantation in Patients With Meniere Disease: A Systematic Review

Combined labyrinthectomy and cochlear implantation appears to be a viable option for Ménière disease patients with both disabling vertigo and nonserviceable hearing; audiologists involved in CI candidacy evaluation should be aware this pathway exists, though long-term outcomes...

Recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: risk factors and outcomes

Certain risk factors predict BPPV recurrence after successful repositioning; clinicians should identify and counsel high-risk patients accordingly, though specific practice changes depend on the study's findings on which factors are most significant.

The Cortical Contribution to the Speech-Frequency-Following Response Is Not Modulated by Visual Information

Clarifying the cortical versus subcortical contributions to the FFR is important for correctly interpreting this widely used research tool and for building accurate models of how the brain integrates sight and sound during speech perception.

Metformin Use and Risk of Incident Hearing Loss Among Participants With Diabetes: A UK Biobank Cohort Study

of this UK Biobank cohort study on metformin and hearing loss risk in people with diabetes should be reviewed when published in full; if a protective association is confirmed, it may inform counselling of diabetic patients about hearing health — but practice change requires...

Case Report: Recurrent vestibular episodes in a dog resembling Meniere's disease

A naturally occurring Ménière's-like condition in dogs could provide a valuable spontaneous animal model for studying inner-ear fluid disorders (endolymphatic hydrops) and testing new treatments, which has downstream relevance for human Ménière's disease research.

Prediction of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo recurrence in postmenopausal women: a machine learning-based clinical study

The predictive model is promising but requires external validation before it can guide clinical decision-making; no actionable change in BPPV management for postmenopausal women yet.

Nystagmus phenotypes in posterior circulation stroke

Clinicians evaluating acute vestibular syndrome should be familiar with nystagmus patterns associated with posterior circulation stroke, as this study adds characterization data that may sharpen bedside differential diagnosis — but prospective validation with HINTS-exam...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of an Integrated Treatment of Vestibular Rehabilitation and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Chronic Dizziness in a Community-Based Population: A Randomized Controlled Trial

If the RCT shows superiority of the combined vestibular rehabilitation plus CBT approach, audiologists and vestibular therapists working with chronic dizziness patients should consider coordinating care with psychologists or trained CBT providers — await the published results...

Long-Term Follow-Up to Study of Timing of Rehabilitation After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Reply to Comment on "Large Language Models for Cochlear Implant Education: A Comparison of ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and DeepSeek"

As AI chatbots become more accessible to patients and clinics, understanding their accuracy and limitations for cochlear implant education is increasingly relevant to audiologists and implant programs.
