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 ...

Socioeconomic Deprivation and Vocal Handicap in Adults With Voice Disorders
This study examined the relationship between socioeconomic deprivation and quality of life as measured by the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) in adults with voice disorders. Patients living with socioeconomic deprivation experienced greater voice‐related handicap from voice disorders than those from more affluent backgrounds, even when controlling for ...

Perception of the acoustic properties of Serbian lexical pitch accents
In this study, we explored to what extent native speakers of Serbian are perceptually sensitive to the acoustic properties of Serbian lexical pitch accents—namely pitch and length—and how accurately they distinguish between different lexical pitch ...

Validation of the TruBlue Light Laser for Laryngeal Somatosensory and Perturbation Testing
This study validates a blue light laser method for assessing laryngeal somatosensory function by measuring perceptual thresholds, reflexive responses, discrimination acuity, and vocal perturbations in healthy adults. Results demonstrate that the method provides precise, reliable stimulation and yields quantifiable sensory and acoustic responses ...

Seabed classification in the Gulf of Alaska from acoustic surveys using deep learning
Abstract High‐resolution mapping of seafloor habitats has wide applications for fisheries, conservation efforts, offshore infrastructure planning, mineral extraction, and scientific modeling. This study leverages existing widespread single‐beam acoustic data and machine learning to create habitat maps for the Gulf of Alaska at a spatial resolution of ...

First 20 Years of Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry as the Mainstream Analytical Technique
ABSTRACT This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is
