Several studies have...Digital otoscopy with AI diagnostic support: making diagnosis of ear disease more accessible
Following Carolina Leal’s interview with Prof De Wet Swanepoel on the HearScope system, Spotlight on Innovation asked Dr Jenny Nesgaard Pedersen to review the new AI feature in HearScope system’s capabilities. In the last decade, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine...Current considerations on neural development and hearing loss in young children
The young child’s brain has the ability to change in response to new stimuli, resulting in learning, the foundation of adaptive and intelligent behaviour. For children with hearing loss, a reduction or lack of auditory stimuli can have a ‘lifelong...New Audio CARL and CARL Platform Released by AHead Simulations
AHead Simulations brings accessibility and affordability to education and research in hearing healthcare through their release of the All-New Audio CARL and Newly Updated CARL Platform.The role of metrics in studies of hearing and cognition
Introduction When perceiving sounds in real-world listening environments, older adults encounter several sources of degradation that can interfere with the perceptual process (Figure 1). Target signals (i.e. the sounds that a listener wants to focus on) have specific acoustic characteristics...What’s new in implantable devices? New indications in cochlear implantation
For over 40 years, cochlear implant procedures have steadily increased. Outcomes for patients are improving as a result of modified surgical techniques, a wider portfolio of electrode arrays, advances in programming strategies, access to improved technology and a better understanding...60th ENT Congress for the South African Society of ORL-OHNS
