Response rate, N1 latency, P1 latency, N1-P1 amplitude and asymmetry ratio were measured for each ear for both 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp stimulus and 500 Hz TB. Stimuli were presented at 95 dB nHL via air conduction using the chin electrode montage.Study sample: Thirty-six participants (18 males, 18 females) aged 7 to 18 years were included. Participants were grouped into 7 to 13 years (18 participants) and 14 to 18 years (18 participants), respectively.Results: Higher oVEMP response rates (97% and 94%) were obtained for both age groups for 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp when compared to 500 Hz TB. The 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp resulted in significantly larger N1-P1 amplitudes than the 500 Hz TB. Asymmetry ratio showed no significant difference between stimuli types for both age groups.Conclusion: The 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp stimulus is a promising option in clinical use for oVEMP testing, allowing easier and faster detection of oVEMP waveforms, than with the 500 Hz TB. However, toneburst and chirp stimuli may differ in calibration and bandwidth, and these differences require further investigation prior to clinical adoption of the 500 Hz NB CE-Chirp stimulus for oVEMPs in children.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148792750","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}

The sf-SRTs were measured twice in two different sessions.Study sample: Nineteen unilateral paediatric CI users and twenty children with bilateral normal hearing sensitivity, with an age range from 3 to 12 years.Results: The sf-SRT levels ranged from 65 to 103 dB HL and 70 to 90 dB HL across stimulus types in the CI and normal-hearing groups, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test revealed that the CI group had significantly higher sf-SRT levels for 2 kHz NBN than the normal-hearing group. In the CI group, repeated-measures ANOVA revealed significantly higher sf-SRT levels for NBN centred at 2 kHz than for 0.5 kHz and BBN.

However, findings identified several convergent barriers to effective goal-setting: clients were not consistently active partners and were often unaware of formal goals; clinicians reported difficulty eliciting specific, personally meaningful goals, particularly with communication or cognitive barriers; time pressure constrained goal discussions; structured tools to support goal elicitation and client access to goals were limited; goals were frequently documented but not used as an ongoing rehabilitation focus.Conclusions: Goal-setting in audiology is practised frequently but appears to be enacted inconsistently as an iterative rehabilitation process.

The review included full economic evaluations (cost-effectiveness analyses) reporting cost per Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY) or Disability-Adjusted Life Year (DALY).Study sample: Four decision-analytic modelling studies included. The studies were from the United Kingdom, Iran, and Australia, focusing on screening children at or before primary school entry.Results: Evidence synthesis revealed significant heterogeneity. Three studies were cost-effective, while one suggested it was not. This divergence was strongly influenced by methodological factors: the modelled time horizon, the choice of outcome metric (QALY vs. DALY), and the baseline coverage of UNHS. For instance, the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio for pure-tone screening fell from $5,814/QALY over one year to $401/QALY over an 11-year horizon.Conclusions: The cost-effectiveness of pre-school hearing screening is highly context-dependent. Key determinants include existing UNHS infrastructure, the chosen screening technology, and the evaluation time horizon. Policymakers must consider these local factors to implement the most economically viable strategy.","PeriodicalId":13759,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Audiology","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148689088","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}

Design: A repeated cross-sectional analysis using two age-homogeneous birth cohorts from the Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort Studies. To investigate mechanisms underlying cohort differences in hearing, mediation analyses were used to assess direct and indirect effects of cohort via educational level, occupational group, smoking, and systolic blood pressure. Study sample: Two samples of 70-year-olds were included (mean age 70.5 years), four decades apart (1901-1907, n = 674; 1944, n = 1114). Participants underwent standardized health examinations, including audiometric testing. Results: Educational level was the primary mediator, accounting for 1.19 dB of the 6.16 dB difference in PTA4 between cohorts, followed by occupational group (0.74 dB) and smoking habits (0.28 dB). In sex-stratified analyses, educational level was the dominant mediator among women (1.63 dB of 4.8 dB), whereas occupational group played a larger mediating role among men (0.75 dB of 7.7 dB).

Audiological assessments were performed on all participants.Study sample: Participants were 237 infants whose parents had completed a questionnaire at the audiology appointment.Results: The results of the logistic regressions with univariate model showed that attendance at day-care centres, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) and siblings' history of OM were statistically significant variables with an odds ratio of 1.91, 2.87 and 3.56, respectively. The results of the multivariate logistic regression highlighted siblings' history of OM as the significant associated factor.
