Can intracochlear voltage matrix analysis explain the occurrence of electrically evoked vestibular responses in cochlear implant users?

Findings are preliminary; if replicated, intracochlear voltage mapping via impedance field telemetry may help clinicians identify CI users at risk for electrically evoked vestibular (balance) side effects, but no programming or fitting change is warranted yet.

Postural stability under sensory challenge in Masters weightlifters and its association with weightlifting performance and peak power: a cross-sectional observational study

Understanding how age-related sensory decline affects balance in high-performing older adults may eventually inform vestibular assessment priorities, but the direct audiology relevance is peripheral.

Personal listening device usage, leisure noise exposure, hearing protection usage and hearing at standard frequencies: a longitudinal study from child/adolescence to young adulthood

Audiologists working with adolescents and young adults should monitor noise exposure habits longitudinally; if this study confirms hearing threshold shifts tied to device use, it strengthens counselling on safe listening — but clinical guidance changes should await full results...

Multi-stakeholder perspectives on models of in-person and remote cochlear implant aftercare and the opportunities and challenges for change

Cochlear implant programmes considering hybrid or fully remote aftercare models should weigh multi-stakeholder perspectives on barriers and facilitators; this study provides qualitative evidence to guide service redesign but does not prescribe a single model.
