Participants used a device consisting of an anatomical-functional prototype for the rehabilitation of the orbicularis oris muscle, which works as a controller for digital games and is activated by the counter-resistance movement performed by the lips. Participants played a game with the device and received a score proportional to their performance. After using the game, adult participants completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) to assess the device's usability. Participants' scores were compared based on age, lip muscle tension, and the number of attempts.Results: Usability was considered good, with a mean score of 91.1 and a standard deviation of 11 points. There was no difference in scores across different attempts or between the scores of adults under and over 22 years old or children with normal and reduced lip tension.

Neural response telemetry thresholds, peak amplitudes (µv) of the SOE function and SOE width in millimeters were collected and grouped by the electrode array type for analysis using the Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests.Results: Seventy-one subjects were selected, 27 with perimodiolar array and 44 with straight array. There were no significant differences in the peak amplitudes among evaluated electrodes in both groups. However, SOE width (mm) of the medial electrode was significantly wider in both arrays, followed by the width of the basal electrode.Conclusion: Although the SOE amplitude was similar suggesting similar neural recruitment in different regions of the cochlea, wider spread was found in the medial region even in the perimodiolar array.

The study protocol was registered on the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/XUTSN).Selection criteria: Observational studies comparing auditory outcomes between individuals with and without AR were included.Data analysis: The Joanna Briggs Institute checklist was used to assess bias. The primary outcome was the mean difference (MD) in auditory thresholds (250Hz to 8000Hz) measured by audiometry. Secondary outcomes included latencies of waves and interpeak intervals. The meta-analysis was conducted using the inverse variance method under a random effects model.Results: Five studies with 432 participants were included. Meta-analysis revealed higher auditory thresholds in patients with AR at 4000Hz (MD = 7.83 dB; 95% CI: 2.46 to 13.19; p = 0.004) and 8000Hz (MD = 8.66 dB; 95% CI: 2.70 to 14.62; p = 0.004).

No consistent differences were found in BERA parameters. These findings suggest that AR may impact high-frequency hearing without affecting neural conduction at the brainstem level.","PeriodicalId":46547,"journal":{"name":"CoDAS","volume":"37 5","pages":"e20240307"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12533529/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145303954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
