Registration of preoperative temporal bone CT-scan to otoendoscopic video for augmented-reality based on convolutional neural networks
ConclusionsA fully automatic 2D registration method based on a convolutional neural network and applied to ear surgery was developed. The method did not rely on any external fiducial markers nor human intervention for landmark recognition. The method was fast and its precision was compatible with ear surgery.

Low-frequency pitch coding: relationships with speech-in-noise and music perception by pediatric populations with typical hearing and cochlear implants
ConclusionSuch findings confirmed the significant effects of LF pitch perception on complex listening performance. Significant speech-in-noise and music perception correlations were as promising as results from recent studies indicating significant positive effects of music training on speech-in-noise recognition in CIC.

The challenge of a mature final diagnosis of hearing loss severity and early cochlear implantation
ConclusionAlthough early CI may yield better auditory performance, the final diagnosis should be made only after repeated subjective and objective measurements as well as family feedback on the child's auditory performance, especially in preterm children. Early auditory brainstem response (ABR) prior to the age of one year in children with cognitive, neurologic, or developmental comorbidities should be interpreted with caution, as ABR"alone" could not accurately represent the child's true hearing ability in this patient population.
