Robotic‐Assisted Electrode Array Insertion Improves Stability of Acoustic Hearing Thresholds
This study evaluated the impact of robotic‐assisted electrode array insertion on rates of delayed‐onset hearing loss (DOHL). DOHL occurred in 22 of 60 subjects (37%) in the manual cohort compared with 2 of 29 subjects (7%) in the robotic‐assisted cohort, representing a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.002).

Early Spectral Resolution Predicts Later Speech Recognition in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients
In 531 ears from 498 adult cochlear implant recipients, spectral modulation detection (EasyQSMD) stabilized within 1 week post‐activation and significantly predicted later speech recognition outcomes. Early spectral resolution thresholds can identify potential poor performers during the critical first month, enabling earlier implementation of targeted ...

Unique Features of Nasal Airway and Airflow Improvement Post‐Dupilumab: A Computational Cohort Study
The impact of dupilumab on nasal airway patency and airflow is not uniform. It is more pronounced in the middle and superior, but not inferior meatus. These unique regional changes significantly correlate with and potentially drive the improvement in patient symptoms.
