Machine learning for functional outcome prediction after vestibular schwannoma surgery: a systematic review and diagnostic test accuracy meta-analysis

Machine learning prediction models for vestibular schwannoma surgical outcomes are still in the research phase; no specific model is validated sufficiently for routine clinical use, so no change in pre-surgical counseling or decision-making protocols is warranted yet.

Effects of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation on reactive postural and neuromuscular responses to surface perturbations

This is early-stage neurophysiology research; no actionable change to vestibular or balance rehabilitation practice is warranted at this time.

Impact of Robotic-Assisted Electrode Array Insertion on Neural Health and Hearing Outcomes in Cochlear Implant Recipients

Cochlear implant surgeons and audiologists should monitor emerging evidence on robotic insertion; current findings are not yet sufficient to recommend routine adoption over skilled manual technique without reviewing full outcome data.

Exploring factors influencing assistive device uptake among persons with physical and hearing impairments in the Ashanti region of Ghana

Identifying context-specific barriers to assistive device adoption in sub-Saharan Africa is essential for designing effective hearing healthcare policies and outreach programs in low- and middle-income countries.

Outcome measures used in studies of vestibular rehabilitation after stroke: a scoping review

No immediate practice change — this scoping review maps existing outcome measures but does not recommend a single best tool; clinicians should note the lack of standardisation when comparing vestibular rehab programmes across stroke studies.

Long-term Incidence of Revision Surgery Caused by Electrode Migration in a Large Cochlear Implant Cohort Using a Titanium Fixation Clip Applied by a Novel Reverse Application Technique

Cochlear implant surgeons should review this technique: if the titanium fixation clip applied via the reverse technique significantly reduces electrode migration revision rates in a large cohort, it warrants serious consideration for adoption in surgical practice.

The Intelligibility-Based Repeat-Recall Test: I. Bayesian-Guided Estimation of Multiple Speech Reception Thresholds

The i-RRT offers a potentially more efficient Bayesian method for estimating multiple speech-in-noise thresholds and listening effort in a single test session; audiologists should monitor validation studies before integrating it into routine clinical protocols.

Normative Ranges for Auditory Brainstem Response Wave I Amplitude: A Potential Diagnostic Indicator of Cochlear Deafferentation

These normative ranges for ABR Wave I amplitude could support clinical identification of cochlear synaptopathy in patients with normal audiograms but auditory complaints; audiologists should consider this as a supplementary diagnostic tool pending further validation in diverse...

Effect of a Tinnitus Sound Therapy Application on Tinnitus Relief

are encouraging but come from a single study with unclear blinding and comparator; audiologists may consider app-based sound therapy as a low-risk adjunct, but should not replace established tinnitus management protocols until stronger evidence is available.

Assessment of Transverse-sigmoid Sinus Dural Arteriovenous Fistula using Transcranial Doppler Ultrasonography: A Case Report

Pulsatile tinnitus is often under-investigated in audiology settings; this report reinforces that vascular pathology must be considered and appropriate cross-specialty referral pathways maintained.

More Than Meets the Ear: Incidental Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak During Myringotomy in a Child With Common Cavity Deformity

Audiologists and ENT teams managing children with common cavity deformity (a rare inner-ear malformation) should be aware that myringotomy carries a risk of CSF leak and meningitis; pre-operative imaging review and surgical planning should reflect this risk, but this is a single...

Hearing Aids Use Preferences Among Older Adults with Hearing Loss: A Discrete Choice Experiment

Understanding which hearing aid attributes (e.g., cost, appearance, battery life, sound quality) most influence uptake in older Chinese adults could guide counselling and prescription strategies, but findings from a Chinese population may not generalise directly to other...
