Widex UK & Ireland partner with Anglia Ruskin University
Widex UK & Ireland and Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) announced in July, an exciting project designed to create added value for independent hearing care professionals and future audiology graduates within the UK & Ireland.
Determinants influencing ageing within the vestibular system
The observation that ageing affects vestibular function is not new. However, using a whole population survey, the authors set out to evaluate quantitatively factors responsible for the age-related changes in vestibular function. As part of a national survey on health...
Persistent postural perceptual dizziness following stroke: the risk factors
The primary motivation for the study, as stated by the authors, was that the factors behind persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) have not been clearly determined in stroke patients. To that end, a prospective study of adults presenting to a...Hong Kong Auditory Science Meeting 2025
Yuan Chen, Assistant Professor in the Department of Special Education and Counselling, The Education University of Hong Kong.Organised by the Clinical Hearing Sciences (CHearS) Laboratory and supported by the University Grants Committee and the Faculty of Education at the University...AUDIOLOGY - In conversation with Hans Henrik Philipsen
So your background is in social research, how did you develop an interest in this area? I have always had an immense curiosity when it comes to understanding other people and other cultures. My early experience as a teenager in...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...Audiological and psychological consequences of single-sided deafness
The loss of sound input from one ear has a significant impact on our perception of our acoustic environment. This impact is compounded in adverse listening conditions. Rachel Knappett’s article explores the audiological impact of this hearing loss and the...What’s new in electrophysiology?
Steve Bell is a lecturer at the University of Southampton and a member of the British Society of Audiology’s (BSA) Special Interest Group in Electrophysiology. Given the current surge in interest in electrophysiology, both in rehabilitation and diagnostic arenas, Steve...The challenges of facemasks for people with hearing loss
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we have seen an exponential increase in the use of face masks. Guidance around the globe varies on the use of face masks as an effective barrier to the coronavirus. Whereas in pre-covid...Reflections on virtual teaching
In a situation where we cannot meet our students (whether they be medical professionals or non-medical), how do we maintain their education? Peter Samuel has been speaking to some colleagues on how they have risen to the challenge. The COVID-19...Wideband tympanometry: translating complexity into clinical clarity
Clinicians often encounter patients with a Type A tympanogram who still present with conductive hearing loss. Traditional 226 Hz tympanometry has served as a reliable tool in audiology and otolaryngology practices since the 1970s, yet it often misses subtle variations...
