Findings reveal a continued increase in overall adoption rates, with OTC devices serving as a critical access point for first-time users-particularly younger, more diverse, and cost-sensitive populations. Despite the affordability and accessibility of OTC devices, traditional hearing aids remain the preferred choice among individuals with more severe hearing loss and those seeking professional support. The report highlights key differences in service delivery, satisfaction, and repurchase intentions between user groups, underscoring the enduring value of professional care. Additionally, the emergence of hearing improvement features in consumer electronics, such as earbuds, signals a broadening of the hearing device landscape. These insights have significant implications for clinical practice, marketing strategies, and policy development, emphasizing the need for flexible, patient-centered care models that accommodate diverse consumer pathways and preferences.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 3","pages":"184-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12638189/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145588645","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}

In a large-scale consumer survey, nearly 5,000 adults with perceived hearing difficulties completed a survey, which asked questions about, among other things, their hearing aids. The results of the survey suggest OTC hearing aids have had a small incremental increase (4 percentage points) in hearing device adoptions, a smaller impact than earbuds with features designed to support hearing loss. The introduction of OTC hearing aids has not affected the adoption rates of prescription hearing aids, where adoption rates (currently 39%) have been stable, or even increased, over the last decade. The data also demonstrate that most OTC hearing aid owners received some professional services, suggesting the accessibility of OTC hearing aids might not be fully successful if success means the ability to acquire hearing aids without professional support. However, OTC hearing aids have been successful in other respects. Relative to prescription hearing aids, OTC hearing aids are more affordable and have similarly high satisfaction rates. The OTC and earbud devices will be interesting to continue to monitor as the market adjusts to the widespread availability of direct-to-consumer solutions for management of hearing difficulties in adults. To date, the availability of OTC hearing aids has not disrupted the prescription hearing aid market, although they are more affordable, and most people who use them are satisfied.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 3","pages":"209-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12638185/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145588612","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}

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the implementation of auditory-cognitive training to improve speech-in-noise recognition performance, particularly for older adults. In this study, we implemented two levels of cognitive demand in an adaptive auditory-cognitive training program that used a competing-speaker paradigm. Older adults with normal to near-normal hearing thresholds were assessed on training performance (at the individual and group level), self-reported training strategies, and far-transfer learning in a speech-perception-in-noise task. Training performance analysis revealed that some older adults, particularly those in the more demanding training, performed poorly during the auditory-cognitive training itself. Some participants in this group reported disengagement, potentially due to the low level of those individuals' self-reported satisfaction with engaging in challenging tasks in daily life. Despite these challenges, however, both groups generally improved in the far-transfer learning assessment, though there was variation among participants. Our results suggest that too-high levels of cognitive demand within the auditory-cognitive training may limit some aspects of training outcomes for speech perception in noise; however, higher cognitive demand may be beneficial for those who enjoy challenging tasks.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"141-160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483581/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208278","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}

In new adult CI users, CBAT was associated with greater improvement in CNC words, AzBio sentences, and Cochlear Implant Quality of Life-35 (CIQOL-35) Profile scores at 3 months post-activation compared to CI recipients who did not train or used other resources. By 12 months, patients showed similar improvement in speech recognition scores, regardless of training modality; however, patients who used CBAT continued to show significantly greater improvement in CIQOL global and all domain scores compared to CBAT nonusers. This benefit was noted regardless of whether CBAT was started before or after 3 months post-activation. No demographic/lifestyle factors, audiological measures, or pre-CI CIQOL/CIQOL-Expectations scores were associated with CBAT use.Conclusion: CBAT during the first-year post-activation may contribute to early gains in CI speech recognition and to persistent improvements in functional abilities, as measured via the CIQOL-35 profile, in new implant recipients. Consideration of specific recommendations for the use of CBAT resources may be valuable, given the minimal risk, ease of access, and affordability of these programs.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"107-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483583/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208170","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}

Background on the interplay between sensory, motor, and cognitive systems establishes the rationale for considering complex listening behaviors as primary outcomes, and for focusing training on domain-free executive function (EF) processes such as selection, inhibition, and working memory updating. Approaches to cognitive training in later life are discussed to provide a foundation for a deeper examination of targeted EF training and complex listening outcomes that reflect performance in everyday activities. Where available, studies involving older adults with hearing loss are included, although many studies include a mixture of older adults with good audiograms, sub-clinical audiometric loss, or clinically significant but untreated audiometric loss. Overall, the reviewed literature suggests that older adults, with or without audiometric hearing loss, can benefit from EF training that improves complex listening performance. Future clinical considerations are discussed, including rehabilitation that extends from communication training to realistic multitasking training.","PeriodicalId":53691,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Hearing","volume":"46 2","pages":"161-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12483582/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145208463","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}
