This study investigates age-related differences in response strength, latencies, and hemispheric laterality indices of ASSRs for different modulation frequencies.Design: Multi-channel EEG was used to measure ASSRs to broadband noise, modulated at either 40 or 80 Hz, presented at 70 dB SPL to the left, right, or both ears.Study sample: This study involved 18 adults (20-26 years) and 17 children divided into two age groups: younger children (6-10 years) and older children (11-14 years).Results: Advancing age was associated with increased response strength and prolonged latencies for 40-Hz ASSRs, with significant differences observed between adults and younger children. No significant age-related differences were noted for 80-Hz ASSRs. Laterality analysis indicated a right-hemisphere tendency for 40-Hz ASSRs in older children and 80-Hz ASSRs in younger children, respectively.Conclusion: The study indicates the development of 40-Hz ASSRs with increasing response strength and prolonged latencies. The results of children with normal hearing are important for further research on children with hearing impairment.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"735-744"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142948474","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}

Nine of the studies included assessment for psychological comorbidities. For the different psychological treatment approaches, misophonia severity scores decreased from baseline from 19% to 83%.Conclusions: There is a need for misophonia research to identify audiological comorbidities and to provide evidence-based guidance for addressing them within treatment.

However, a large variability exists in speech perception outcomes. We evaluated the accuracy of clinical predictions of post-CI speech perception scores.Design: In an online survey, clinicians involved in CI care were asked to predict 6-month performance on AzBio sentences and CNC words for 15 anonymised CI patients based on demographic, medical, and audiological data, and preoperative speech recognition scores.Study sample: Sixty-five participants (72% audiologists, 14% neurotologists, 14% speech-language pathologists, and CI researchers) provided predictions for two or more cases, and 43 provided predictions for all 15 CI cases.Results: Clinical predictions had low accuracy and high variability (i.e. median interclass correlation coefficients [ICC] 0.11-0.13). No relationship was observed between clinicians' confidence and prediction accuracy.Conclusions: The present findings are consistent with previous research and indicate a concerning discrepancy between clinical predictions and actual speech perception outcomes for adult post-lingual CI users. Future research may explore incorporating predictions based on statistical models into speech outcome prognostication to reduce variance and improve counselling and expectations setting for individual CI candidates.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"685-694"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12226235/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143046544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five types of machine learning algorithm were compared within a nested k-fold cross-validation procedure.Study sample: A set of 482 suprathreshold ABR waveforms were used. These were recorded from 81 participants with audiometric thresholds within normal limits.Results: A convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) outperformed the other algorithms evaluated. The algorithm labelled 95.9% of ABR waves within ±0.1 ms of the target. The mean absolute error was 0.025 ms, averaged across the outer validation folds of the nested cross-validation procedure. High confidence levels were generally associated with greater wave-labelling accuracy.Conclusions: Machine learning algorithms have the potential to assist clinicians with ABR interpretation.

Compared to S0N0, lower speech-recognition thresholds (SRTs) were observed for all other loudspeaker configurations in which speech and noise were spatially separated. This spatial release from masking was significantly reduced for the audiometric test rooms compared to the anechoic rooms. A binaural speech-intelligibility model was used to verify the influence of room acoustic properties and loudspeaker configuration on SRT.Conclusions: Speech-recognition curves for spatially separated loudspeaker configurations depend on the room acoustic properties, even in audiometric test rooms with low reverberation times. This makes it more difficult to compare clinical measurements with reference speech-recognition curves, or even with data measured in a different test room. It is thus recommended to document the loudspeaker configuration and test room for each clinical measurement.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"695-704"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142603320","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}

Specifically, it examined the correlation between ECochG responses and speech perception to assess whether these measurements could explain some of the variability in CI outcomes.Design: Scoping review.Study sample: Sixteen studies were included in this review, 14 of which investigated the correlation between ECochG total response (ECochG-TR) and speech perception outcomes. Additionally, four studies focused on specific components of ECochG-TR in relation to speech perception outcomes.Results: Despite several limitations, most studies found that ECochG-TR significantly contributed to the variability in speech perception outcomes, explaining between 16-59% of the variance. The few studies correlating specific ECochG responses, such as cochlear microphonics, summating potential, auditory nerve neurophonics, and compound action potential, with CI outcomes, reported inconsistent results.Conclusion: This review demonstrated that ECochG-TR can explain a significant portion of the variance in CI outcomes. However, due to the numerous limitations, further research is needed on the correlation between specific ECochG responses and CI outcomes.
