Occupation, role and performance in adults: a comparative study
The authors investigate the occupations of adults with cochlear implants (CI) compared to those with hearing impairment without implants (HI) and individuals with normal hearing (NH). A total of 204 participants were included: 98 CI users, 52 HI individuals and...CI Advocacy in Action 2025
Helen Cullington, Professor of Cochlear Implants at the University of Southampton Auditory Implant Service, UKThe second global CIICA conference took place in Brussels in October. There were delegates from 32 countries, and more than 30 participants with cochlear implants! Live...Deaf identity is not cookie cutter shaped: a CI user in a hearing world
Sam Burgess tells us what deaf identity means to her as a service manager in a busy healthcare library, with a cochlear Implant. To begin with, I have been deaf since birth due to congenital rubella. I have not known...
Further understanding of GJB2 hearing loss
For many years, hearing loss has been an area which has attracted the interest of clinical and academic geneticists. Genetic testing for severe-profound hearing loss is now commonplace in many healthcare systems. Understanding the genetics of hearing loss has improved...The ear-brain connection: the role of cognition in neural speech processing
Audiologists and other hearing healthcare professionals have become increasingly interested in the importance of cognitive function in the assessment and management of hearing loss, especially in light of evidence suggesting a link between hearing loss and cognitive decline in older...Why hearing above 8 kHz matters more than you think
This review explores the significance of extended high-frequency hearing loss (above 8 kHz) and why it may be worth doing clinically more frequently. There are many conditions that may hide underneath a normal audiogram, and one of the easiest to...Machine learning and the future of otolaryngology
If you are over 30 years of age, you have witnessed a technology revolution that has grossly affected how we live: computers have come from being an oddity to an everyday feature in our households and places of work; the...EEG as a measure of neuroplasticity in children
Measuring changes in neural activity can teach us a lot about hearing loss and the effect of gained functional hearing. In this article, the authors describe how electroencephalography (EEG) is being used to effectively measure such changes in children with...What you need to know about recent advances in genetics of hearing loss in the newborn
Identifying the underlying genetic cause of hearing loss in newborns can improve dramatically the early diagnosis and appropriate intervention. Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder at birth, affecting approximately two out of 1000 newborns [1]. Congenital impaired hearing...In conversation with Professor Graeme Clark
As we celebrate the cochlear implant, we celebrate an amazing work of innovative biomedical engineering that is a life-changer to many recipients around the world. We take for granted the arduous journey of the cochlear implant since its conception. Eric...
