Articles were critically appraised using tools to assess their methodological quality and cultural safety.Study sample: Seven sources published between 2003 and 2022 met the review inclusion criteria.Results: Two major themes of Health Resource Access and Person and Family Centred Care were identified. Health Resource Access was further explored through three sub-themes examining Client, Practitioner and Service access. Subthemes related to Person and Family Centred Care included Cultural Safety, Health Service Collaboration, Health Education and Consumer Partnerships.Conclusions: The voices of health professionals are largely missing from conversations on otitis media detection for First Nations children. Health professionals can provide unique insights into service delivery that compliment those of parents and care-givers.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143254040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sound exposure levels and DPOAE amplitudes were measured during time being indoor.Results: Average indoor sound levels (time indoors (Ti)) were 81 dB LAeqTi, with highest noise events reaching 112 dB LAFmax. A total of 31 measurements (52%) exceeded 80 dB LAeqTi. GEE analysis showed a significant decrease in DPOAE amplitudes at 6000 and 8 kHz in the right ear in relation to sound exposure levels, suggesting a sound level-dependent effect. Time spent in pre-school revealed a decrease in DPOAE amplitudes at 3000 and 4 kHz in the right ear over the day and week, indicating cumulative effects of sound exposure.Conclusions: The findings suggest that pre-school sound exposure may adversely affect children's hearing, particularly at higher frequencies and over time. Further research is needed to validate these results and explore long-term implications of early-age noise exposure.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143079980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjective performance, preference, words in quiet, sentences in babble, music quality, and fundamental frequency (F0) discrimination were assessed using a balanced design.Study sample: Data from 18 subjects were analysed, with complete datasets available for 17 subjects.Results: Non-inferior performance on all clinical measures was shown for the lower rate program. Subjects' preference ratings were comparable for the programs, with 53% reporting no difference overall. When a preference was expressed, the 900 pps/ch condition was preferred more often.Conclusion: Reducing the stimulation rate from 900 pps/ch to 500 pps/ch did not compromise the hearing outcomes evaluated in this study.
