Its use in the education sector has exponentially increased. The present global survey explored the utilization of AI among academicians in audiology and speech-language therapy (ASLT) and their willingness to use AI tools in their academic work.Method: This study used a cross-sectional survey design. One hundred and six ASLT academicians participated in the survey (February 2024 to April 2024). The questionnaire contains 18 items, which included a five-point rating scale, yes-no, and open-ended questions. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis.Results: Most of the participants were from Asia and North America, followed by Africa. Nearly sixty-eight percent of the academicians used AI tools in their practice. The major concerns reported by the participants were the authenticity of the data, security, the addition of irrelevant information, and incorrect citations. The participants also mentioned that the frequent use of AI tools can reduce a person's ability to devise novel ideas. AI tools such as ChatGPT, Canva, Grammarly AI, Mentimeter, QuillBot, ResearchRabbit, and Scribd were reported by participants.Conclusions: The present study highlights the use of AI tools among ASLT academicians. However, only a few academicians have prior experience in AI courses. This indicates the pressing need for training concerning the appropriate use of AI in academia and support from universities. Furthermore, AI should be incorporated into academia with appropriate monitoring and ethical considerations.","PeriodicalId":94336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of otology","volume":"20 1","pages":"20-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510356/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260454","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}

We employed an object detection approach to digitize audiograms and developed multiple machine learning models to classify six hearing loss levels. The dataset was split into 70% training (1,407 images) and 30% testing (352 images) sets. We compared our model's performance with classifications based on manually extracted audiogram values and otolaryngologists' interpretations.Result: Our object detection-based model achieved an F1-score of 94.72% in classifying hearing loss levels, comparable to the 96.43% F1-score obtained using manually extracted values. The Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LGBM) model is used as the classifier for the manually extracted data, which achieved top performance with 94.72% accuracy, 94.72% f1-score, 94.72 recall, and 94.72 precision. In object detection based model, The Random Forest Classifier (RFC) model showed the highest 96.43% accuracy in predicting hearing loss level, with a F1-score of 96.43%, recall of 96.43%, and precision of 96.45%.Conclusion: Our proposed automated approach for audiogram digitization and hearing loss classification performs comparably to traditional methods and otolaryngologists' interpretations. This system can potentially assist otolaryngologists in providing more timely and effective treatment by quickly and accurately classifying hearing loss.","PeriodicalId":94336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of otology","volume":"20 1","pages":"26-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510341/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260424","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}

The participants, predominantly with moderate tinnitus, showed a significant reduction in tinnitus-related distress, with a mean reduction of approximately 30 points on both the THI and the TFI. Analysis revealed significant gender differences, with women experiencing higher baseline tinnitus distress but higher response to sound therapy. Emotional state assessments revealed moderate levels of anxiety and depression at baseline, which decreased significantly after therapy, particularly in women. Correlational analyses revealed a strong relationship between changes in emotional state and tinnitus severity, with reductions in anxiety and depression associated with improved tinnitus outcomes. The results highlight the complex relationship between emotional well-being and tinnitus severity and underline the potential of sound therapy to alleviate both emotional distress and tinnitus symptoms.","PeriodicalId":94336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of otology","volume":"20 1","pages":"51-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510344/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260427","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}

They rely mainly on sign language for communication. This is because, in the absence of hearing, the brain of a deaf person is not able to process any feedback of its own speech efforts.Method: We have developed a novel assistive technology that provides visual feedback of speech efforts to the brain of a deaf person learning to speak on a smart phone or computer, in the absence of auditory feedback. We propose that a deaf person with compensatory heightened visual processing skills, should be able to use this visual feedback to develop speech.Results: The first prototype of our novel assistive technology was used on 72 deaf persons (children and adults) attending deaf schools in Delhi. They progressed from speaking no sounds to about 18 sounds in 6 months.Conclusion: Assistive technology using sensory substitution is a promising new approach to help deaf children and adults develop oral speech using visual feedback. More research needs to be carried out in developing this technology further.","PeriodicalId":94336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of otology","volume":"20 1","pages":"12-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510346/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260432","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}

The participants were categorized into groups I, II, and III. They were provided with delta (4 Hz) and alpha (10 Hz) frequency binaural beats and standard tinnitus masker, respectively, for a duration of three months. The tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) scores, Visual analogue scale (VAS) rating for tinnitus distress, and quality of life parameters were measured. The reductions obtained for each measure during the end of the first, second and third month were measured and compared across the groups.Results: All three groups showed considerable reductions in THI and VAS scores and improvements in the quality of life domains, focusing on physical and psychological health. However, groups I and II, who received binaural beats stimuli, showed higher benefits than those who received standard tinnitus masker.Conclusion: The results of the current study indicated that binaural beats can be an effective treatment technique for individuals with tinnitus having normal hearing sensitivity.

Infants who underwent diagnostic audiological assessments at our hospital between January 2003 and June 2024 were included. Data analysis was conducted using R (version 4.4.1) to construct an initial prediction model for CHL in infancy, applying the LASSO regression technique.Results: A total of 661 infants (1322 ears) were included, with 1253 ears in the normal hearing group and 69 ears in the CHL group. Statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in the following factors: parent-reported infant response to sound, craniofacial deformities, neonatal hemolysis, jaundice treatment, and neonatal hypoglycemia. A multivariate prediction model and nomogram for CHL in infancy were developed and validated, achieving an accuracy of 92.5% and a specificity of 91.3%.Conclusions: This study identified key risk factors for CHL in infancy and developed a preliminary predictive model, improving the diagnostic accuracy for CHL. Improved diagnostic precision can decrease misdiagnoses, reduce delays in treatment, and limit unnecessary antimicrobial prescriptions for infants.","PeriodicalId":94336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of otology","volume":"20 1","pages":"33-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12510354/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145260446","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}

This study aims to examine the characteristics and management of hearing loss in Chinese children with Williams syndrome and provide references for future clinical management.Method: Between January 2007 and March 2022, families with at least 1 WS patient was recruited from the Newborn Cohort Study of Hearing Loss. Audiological tests were performed, and then appropriate medical management was offered. Furthermore, an overview of the hearing loss phenotype in Williams syndrome in different locations was reviewed.Results: A total of two families with at least 1 Williams syndrome patient were recruited from the Newborn Cohort Study of Hearing Loss (ChiCTR2100049765). We identified moderately severe sensorineural or conductive hearing loss that emerged as early as the infancy period in Williams syndrome subjects in Chinese children. Our results extended the reported onset ages of hearing loss in WS from late childhood or early adulthood to the infancy period. We also found that with early diagnosis, proper management, and regular monitoring, children with Williams syndrome could return to a normal or near-normal school life.Conclusions: Our study demonstrated the distinct hearing profile in Chinese children with Williams syndrome for the first time. This cohort of WS subjects extends the reported onset ages of hearing loss in WS from late childhood or early adulthood to the infancy period, indicating the importance of clinicians screening and monitoring the hearing status of individuals with WS as early as possible.
