On‐Demand Schedules, Worker Absenteeism and Patient Dissatisfaction in Home Care Services
Journal of Operations Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Service companies often adopt on‐demand scheduling to balance labor costs and fluctuating market demand. However, research shows that such practices can reduce worker productivity and retention. In this study, we examine how on‐demand scheduling affects two critical outcomes: worker absenteeism and patient dissatisfaction.

Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Rates of Hearing Preservation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.The purpose of our study is to understand the extent to which robotic‐assisted electrode array (EA) insertion improves hearing preservation. Our results show that robotic‐assisted EA insertion is associated with improved hearing preservation over 1 year compared with manual insertion.

Predictors of Early and Long‐Term Sound Quality Ratings in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.This longitudinal study of 339 adult cochlear implant recipients demonstrates that subjective sound quality ratings improve significantly during the first 6 months post‐activation before plateauing, with early outcomes predicted by electrode placement factors (closer modiolar distance and deeper insertion depth), pre‐operative sound quality, and word ...

Laryngeal Vibration to Treat Abductor‐Type Laryngeal Dystonia: Effectiveness and Cortical Response
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.In this study, people with abductor‐type laryngeal dystonia wore a collar with small, embedded vibrators. After vibrating the skin above the Adam's apple for 24 min, two‐thirds of participants thought their voice had noticeably improved, and objective measures of voice documented improvements in 45% of participants.
