Assessment of the Effectiveness of a Short-term Hearing Aid Use in Patients with Different Degrees of Hearing Loss

Archives of Acoustics, 2019
The study presents evaluating the effectiveness of the hearing aid fitting process in the short-term use (7 days). The evaluation method consists of a survey based on the APHAB (Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit) questionnaire.

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Auditory–Tactile Congruence for Synthesis of Adaptive Pain Expressions in RoboPatients

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this work, we explore auditory–tactile congruence for synthesizing adaptive vocal pain expressions in robopatients. Using a robopatient platform that integrates vocal pain sounds with palpation forces, we conducted 7680 trials across 20 participants.

XIAP Stabilizes DDRGK1 to Promote ER‐Phagy and Protects Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanism of GAS‐mediated protection against noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL). Noise exposure activates the ATF4/eIF2α axis, downregulating XIAP and promoting DDRGK1 degradation, thereby inhibiting ER‐phagy and leading to hair cell (HC) death. GAS treatment rescues XIAP and DDRGK1 expression, reactivating ER‐phagy to mitigate HC loss, synaptic damage,

A Wearable Brain–Computer Interface for Mitigating Car Sickness via Attention Shifting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Car sickness poses a major challenge in vehicular travel, yet effective nonpharmacological solutions are scarce. We developed a wearable, closed‐loop mindfulness BCI that uses real‐time EEG‐based neurofeedback to shift attention away from motion‐induced discomfort. Validated in real‐car experiments involving >100$>100$ susceptible individuals, over 83%

The influence of non-linear frequency compression on the perception of music by adults with a moderate to severe hearing loss: Subjective impressions

South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 2012
Objective: To date, the main direction in frequency-lowering hearing aid studies has been in relation to speech perception abilities. With improvements in hearing aid technology, interest in musical perception as a dimension that could improve hearing ...

Gut–Metabolome–Proteome Interactions in Age‐Related Hearing Loss: Insights from Fecal Microbiota Transplantation and Multi‐Omics Analyses

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Germ‐free (GF) mice receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) reveal microbiota‐dependent effects on auditory aging. Integrated metagenomic, metabolomic and proteomic profiling maps gut–inner ear network and highlights 5‐hydroxytryptophan (5‐HTP) as a microbiota‐linked metabolic hub in age‐related hearing loss (ARHL).
