Complications of Cochlear Implant Surgery in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: A Systematic Review

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing loss disproportionately affects low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). Recent advances in cochlear implant surgery have benefitted patients globally, but the risk of complications in LMICs may be heightened due to social and structural factors.

Review of Acoustic Sources Alternatives to a Dodecahedron Speaker

Applied Sciences, 2019
An omnidirectional source is required in many acoustic measurements. Commonly a dodecahedron speaker is used but due to various factors (e.g., high cost, transportation difficulties) other acoustic sources are sometimes preferred. In this review, fifteen

Otovent Versus Valsalva: Physiological Insights for Diagnostic and Therapeutic Autoinflation in Eustachian Tube Dysfunction

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Autoinflation aids assessment of Eustachian tube function, or as a conservative treatment for obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction. This study compares the physiological characteristics of 2 autoinflation techniques, the Otovent® device and the Valsalva manoeuvre, to inform clinical application for both diagnosis and therapy ...

Low Cost Omnidirectional Sound Source Utilizing a Common Directional Loudspeaker for Impulse Response Measurements

Applied Sciences, 2018
Alternative low-cost sources (e.g., balloons, gun fires) are used for impulse response measurements when a dodecahedron speaker is not available. This study sets to explore the applicability of a method utilizing a common directional loudspeaker as a ...

Characterizing Music Engagement and Reward in Individuals Across a Spectrum of Hearing Loss and Rehabilitation

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Hearing aids (HAs) and cochlear implants (CIs) improve speech perception for individuals with hearing loss (HL), yet their impact on music outcomes remains unclear. We examined music perception, engagement, and reward in a large cohort of individuals across various hearing conditions. Study design Cross‐sectional survey.

Drone auralization model with statistical synthesis of amplitude and frequency modulations

Acta Acustica
This paper presents a drone auralization model that reproduces the spectro-temporal and spatial characteristics of a drone during flight. Focusing on perceptual plausibility, the time-variant processes are modeled by taking into account the statistical ...

Molecular Biomarkers in Meniere's Disease: A Scoping Review of Current Evidence

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Meniere's disease is a complex chronic inner ear condition that is characterized by vertigo, tinnitus, aural fullness, and progressive hearing loss. Currently, diagnostic strategies remain symptom‐driven, and treatments focus on management of discrete episodes rather than targeting underlying pathophysiology.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...
