Tinnitus: There ARE Solutions Out There!

If you experience bothersome tinnitus, I want you to know that there ARE solutions out there to help you manage and even reduce your perception of your tinnitus....

Trusts and Foundations

Chronic underfunding of hearing health is a structural problem that limits research, treatment access, and service quality — making philanthropic investment in this space a meaningful lever for the field.

Congratulations to the 2026 AuD graduates from The Sound Sisters!

In this episode Noel and I wish the 2026 graduates well and discuss career advice worth sharing!

SLP Iván Campos Discusses Multilingual Assessment and Intervention in Schools

E-field guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation modulates oscillatory brain activity dynamics in tinnitus

E-field guided rTMS for tinnitus remains investigational; no actionable change to clinical practice is warranted until larger controlled trials confirm benefit.

New developments in the diagnosis of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Audiologists and vestibular specialists should review updated BPPV diagnostic criteria and emerging positional tests that have emerged since the 2015 Bárány Society guidelines, as these may refine canal identification and reduce misdiagnosis.

Neuromodulation for Subjective Tinnitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials

This meta-analysis of RCTs is the strongest available evidence class on neuromodulation for tinnitus; clinicians should review effect sizes and safety data before recommending these treatments, but current evidence likely does not yet support routine adoption.

Tinnitus

A Nature Reviews Disease Primers entry on tinnitus serves as a global scientific reference point that will shape research priorities and educational curricula for years.

Tinnitus

Establishing globally recognised prevalence figures and mechanistic frameworks for tinnitus in a high-impact journal will anchor future research funding decisions and policy discussions.

The role of temporomandibular joint mobilization in the management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: randomized controlled trial

If TMJ mobilization is shown to significantly reduce BPPV recurrence or severity versus sham/usual care, audiologists and vestibular specialists should monitor these findings — but await full results and replication before adding TMJ mobilization to standard BPPV protocols.

A detailed DFT inspection on the trapping of aspirin from drinking water using B 12 N 12 nanocage

This article has no meaningful relevance to the audiology field; tinnitus appears only incidentally as a listed aspirin side effect and is not studied.

Increased intracranial pressure in NF2‑related schwannomatosis: an underestimated danger with serious consequences

Audiologists and vestibular specialists managing patients with NF2-related schwannomatosis should be alert to signs of raised intracranial pressure and ensure prompt referral to neurology or neurosurgery, as this complication appears under-recognised and can cause serious...

Effectiveness of Microanatomy-based Low-dose Radiosurgery of Vestibular Schwannomas for Hearing Preservation in Patients with Neurofibromatosis Type 2: A Retrospective Analysis of 16 Cases

This small 16-patient retrospective study suggests microanatomy-guided low-dose radiosurgery may preserve hearing in NF2-related vestibular schwannomas, but the sample size and design are too limited to change current practice; audiologists managing NF2 patients should note...

Differential diagnosis and management of suspected atypical chronic psychogenic dizziness using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health model: a case report

Applying the ICF framework to atypical psychogenic dizziness in older adults may support more holistic assessment, but a single case report is too preliminary to justify a change in routine practice.

Endoscopic-Assisted Transnasal Vestibular Approach for Deeply Impacted Maxillary Supernumerary Teeth Adjacent to the Nasal Floor: A Technical Note

While primarily relevant to oral and maxillofacial surgery, awareness of endoscopic transnasal approaches may occasionally inform multidisciplinary head-and-neck teams.

Cochlear symptoms and MRI findings in vestibular migraine: a narrative review

Audiologists managing patients with episodic vertigo should be aware that cochlear (inner-ear) symptoms and MRI findings in vestibular migraine can overlap significantly with Menière's disease, but this narrative review does not yet provide evidence-based criteria to change...

Frequency of electrode migration and other device-related complications in a large single-center cochlear implant cohort

Cochlear implant teams should review these single-center complication benchmarks — particularly electrode migration and magnet dislocation rates — against their own outcomes, but practice changes should await multi-center validation.

Vestibular deficit and recovery in rare forms of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo with downbeat nystagmus

Clinicians managing BPPV should be aware that rare downbeat-nystagmus variants may involve measurable vestibular deficits that partially recover after canal repositioning; standard repositioning manoeuvres remain appropriate, but vestibular function testing may be warranted...

Prevalence and direct costs of vestibular disease in France - matched case-control study results from the 2022 and 2023 french health data system

Quantifying the prevalence and direct costs of vestibular disease strengthens the case for dedicating healthcare resources and funding to vestibular diagnostics and rehabilitation.

The interictal symptom burden in vestibular migraine-a condition in need of recognition

Audiologists and vestibular clinicians should screen vestibular migraine patients for persistent between-attack symptoms, as the interictal burden appears clinically significant and may require separate management beyond acute-attack treatment.

Reliability and minimal clinically important differences of gait characteristics in peripheral vestibular disorders

Clinicians using quantitative gait analysis in peripheral vestibular disorder patients can now reference study-derived reliability values and minimal clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds to interpret whether measured gait changes represent genuine clinical progress.

Efficacy of transoral vestibular endoscopic thyroidectomy versus open surgery in the treatment of unilateral thyroid malignancies

For the audiology field specifically, this article holds negligible relevance; the 'vestibular' in the procedure name refers to the oral vestibule (inside the lip), not the vestibular (balance) system of the inner ear.

Widex Allure AI RIC Hearing Aids: Dual-Chip Processing, PureSound, and LE Audio Connectivity

Dual-chip AI processing and LE Audio adoption represent the current frontier of hearing aid hardware, and widespread rollout could shift patient expectations and fitting workflows.

TympaHealth Secures £2M Innovate UK Loan to Advance AI Ear Care Platform

AI-assisted community ear care platforms could expand access to hearing health screening beyond traditional audiology clinics, reshaping referral pathways.

6 Ways Audiology Practices Can Save Clinicians an Hour a Day

Clinician burnout and administrative burden are growing concerns in audiology, and concrete time-saving strategies could improve both staff wellbeing and patient throughput.
