Testing the Informativeness of Diverse Measures of Auditory Processing for Clinical Audiological Practice in Middle-Aged Adults in Mexico
CONCLUSIONS: The spatial release from masking task can complement traditional clinical measures to better account for patient's self-reported hearing difficulty. Open-source access to this test in PART supports its implementation for Spanish speakers in clinical settings around the world at low cost.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24470140.PMID:37939343 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00135 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Extraordinary Speech and Language Outcomes After Auditory Brainstem Implantation: Guidance From a Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: Results from a novel battery of information processing tests suggest that ID-006 relies extensively on top-down predictive processing and cognitive control strategies to efficiently encode and process auditory information provided by his ABI. Results suggest that current measures of outcomes and benefits should be expanded beyond conventional speech recognition measures to include more sensitive and robust measures of speech recognition as well as neurocognitive measures such as executive function, working memory, and lexical access.PMID:37931080 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00099 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Effectiveness of Television Streaming on Hearing Aid User Performance and Satisfaction in Quiet and in Noise
CONCLUSIONS: Hearing aid users did not benefit from TV streaming with the microphones attenuated or muted when listening in quiet. TV streaming was more beneficial to hearing aid users when listening in noise with the microphones muted. Hearing aid users should be counseled on the impact of the hearing aid microphone settings when using a TV streamer, particularly in noise.PMID:37931091 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00169 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Hyperacusis Diagnosis and Management in the United States: Clinical Audiology Practice Patterns
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical audiologists in the United States do not receive uniform education on hyperacusis, and they report multiple barriers to its evidence-based diagnosis and management. Effective hyperacusis management necessitates a multidisciplinary approach. The information obtained via this survey will pave the way toward the refinement of interprofessional education programs and the development of systematic, evidence-based clinical protocols for hyperacusis.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24431188.PMID:37917915 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00118 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Self-Reported Symptoms of Vertigo and Imbalance Are Prevalent Among Adults With Chronic Moderate-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: A Preliminary Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest that dizziness and imbalance are prevalent in adults with chronic moderate-severe TBI. Persistent vertiginous symptoms may point to an underlying vestibular impairment. However, further research is needed to characterize vestibular function in chronic moderate-severe TBI.PMID:37917920 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00100 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)
