In the face, however, as the scar would be readily visible, approaches are designed to hide this. Surgical access to...Annelies Kusters: exploring deaf communities globally

Unique workforce considerations exist in SSA including a paucity of skilled health professionals and fluctuant political climates [1,2]. Shazia Peer...A psychophysical perspective on single-sided deafness and its treatment by cochlear implants
Bob Carlyon gives us a psychophysical perspective on the hearing benefits that can and cannot be achieved for patients with single-sided deafness with a cochlear implant, and discusses some of the challenges in maximising the effectiveness of the treatment. He...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...Using telehealth to engage teenagers
Can we use a teenager’s love of gadgets to re-engage them with their hearing technology?
