From melody to meaning: Meludia music training for CI users
Music and speech share deep cognitive and auditory roots. Meludia on myMED-EL, a music training especially curated for cochlear implant (CI) users, taps into this connection to support hearing performance. Meludia’s exercises can directly translate to better speech comprehension. -...In conversation with Helen and De Wet in Paris: cochlear implants in the year 2074
The World Congress of Audiology (WCA), held in Paris, France, in September 2024, provided a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with colleagues from around the globe. I took the chance to sit outside in the sunshine with De Wet Swanepoel from...In conversation with Helen and De Wet in Paris: cochlear implants in the year 2074

Hearing preservation in CI, any predictors?
The electrically evoked compound action potential (eCAP), obtained non-invasively from cochlear implant (CI) recipients, represents a population response of the auditory nerve to electrical stimulation. The eCAP characteristics include threshold (the lower the better), growth of response (the steeper the...From the editor JanFeb 2022
The start of a new year is always an opportunity to look forward with a renewed sense of hope and optimism. It is also a chance to look back at the previous 12 months and, looking back to early 2021, we were just at the dawn of the COVID vaccination programme – this had developed at an unprecedented pace, and gave us all huge cause for excitement and hope.Audiology In This Issue - Trainee Takeover

A novel scale for the assessment of tracheoesophageal voice quality – the SToPS
There is currently no assessment tool in widespread use that permits a valid and reliable perceptual assessment of voice quality following laryngectomy. Such a scale is needed to investigate the functional outcomes of surgical voice restoration and rehabilitation regimes. Existing...
One-stage laryngotracheal reconstruction in young infants
Airway inadequacy is a significant problem in young infants and may go undetected until inflammatory conditions trigger acute episodes, some of which require a tracheostomy. In addition to breathing difficulties, feeding problems are also common. This study involves 11 children...The first nine months: why early hearing matters more than ever
Why 1-3-6 and 9? They are arguably crucial intervention stages. Here, new science is explored which weaves together the threads of early intervention. Imagine a newborn gazing at their caregiver’s face, hearing their voice and feeling the rhythm of their...
Gamma Knife surgery for persistent or recurrent trigeminal neuralgia
Treatment of trigeminal neuralgia continues to be challenging. The treatment options include pharmacotherapy, or failing this, surgical options like microvascular decompression (MVD), radiofrequency ablation, pencil beam convolution and Gamma Knife surgery. The authors of this article have presented a series...
