Identification of Potential Barriers to Timely Access to Pediatric Hearing Aids.
JAMA Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2019 Importance Despite various barriers identified to early pediatric access to cochlear implantation, barriers to timely access to pediatric hearing aids are not well characterized.

Acclimatization to Hearing Aids [PDF]
Ear & Hearing, 2014 Evidence for a clinically significant effect of acclimatization to hearing aids is mixed. The aim of this study was to test for auditory acclimatization effects in new unilateral and bilateral adult hearing aid users. Hypotheses were i) there would be improvements in aided speech recognition in new hearing aid users, compared with unaided listening and

Trends in Hearing, 2019 Listening effort may be reduced when hearing aids improve access to the acoustic signal. However, this possibility is difficult to evaluate because many neuroimaging methods used to measure listening effort are incompatible with hearing aid use ...

Hearing Aids and the Brain [PDF]
International Journal of Otolaryngology, 2014 At the heart of most rehabilitation programs for people with hearing loss is the use of amplification. The purpose of hearing aid amplification is to improve a person's access to sound. Depending on the degree and configuration of the individual's hearing loss, the hearing aid is tasked with increasing sound levels at different frequency regions to ...

Precision‐Optimised Post‐Stroke Prognoses
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Current medicine cannot confidently predict who will recover from post‐stroke impairments. Researchers have sought to bridge this gap by treating the post‐stroke prognostic problem as a machine learning problem, reporting prediction error metrics across samples of patients whose outcomes are known.

Cost-effectiveness of Stapedectomy vs Hearing Aids in the Treatment of Otosclerosis.
JAMA Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2019 Importance Otosclerosis can be managed through surgical treatment, such as stapedectomy, or through hearing amplification with hearing aids. To our knowledge, there has been no cost-effectiveness analysis of these 2 treatment methods.

Spatial Hearing and Hearing Aids [PDF]
, 2016 The questions of whether hearing-impaired listeners are also impaired for the localization of sounds and what benefits hearing aids can provide are important for understanding the wider effects of hearing impairment. We review here 29 studies published since 1983 that have measured acuity for changes in the horizontal-plane direction of sound sources ...

BCS1L‐Associated Disease: 5′‐UTR Variant Shifts the Phenotype Towards Axonal Neuropathy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the consequences of a pathogenic missense variant (c.838C>T; p.L280F) and a 5′‐UTR regulatory variant (c.‐122G>T) in BCS1L on disease pathogenesis and to understand how regulatory variants influence disease severity and clinical presentation.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective This study aimed to identify themes contributing to resilience in childhood‐onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE), distinguish between profiles of resilience, and examine how they relate to underlying themes and patient characteristics. Methods We conducted a mixed‐methods study of 21 patients with cSLE aged 11 to 19 years at a Canadian ...
