Improved Speech Recognition for Children With Limited Usable Hearing Unilaterally When Using a Remote Microphone in a Simulated Classroom Setting Purpose: Children with limited usable hearing unilaterally (LUHU) often struggle in noisy and reverberant classrooms. They cannot always be posit...

Lead author Sara Neumann writes "Children with LUHU have difficulty hearing in adverse listening environments, check out this study on an option to help them hear better!" https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_AJA-25-00151 #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be

The Challenge of Capturing Hearing Aid Benefit: Interindividual Differences in Response to Changes in Signal Processing Purpose: The benefits of digital signal-processing features, such as noise reduction (NR) and frequency compression (FC), differ among individual...

Hearing aids offer a variety of features such as noise reduction and frequency compression, but these settings may not be helpful. Learn about the impact of deactivating these features during the fitting process https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_AJA-25-00089 #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be

Assessment of the Construct and Criterion Validity Between Fall Risk Screening Measures (Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance Versus Timed Up and Go Test) Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between fall risk screening tools to determine whether they yield similar resu...

Audiologists have a number of fall risk screening measures at their disposal, but these measures may not be interchangeable. The latest from #ASHASIG7 investigated two such measures on.asha.org/3VrYeK7

Bandpass Filtering and Congruence Affect Emotional Responses to Auditory and Auditory–Visual Nonspeech Stimuli Purpose: This study examined the effects of reduced bandwidth and auditory-visual congruence on emotional responses to nonspeech auditory-only an...

Both the frequency level of a nonspeech sound and an incongruent visual stimuli can affect the way that nonspeech sounds affect individuals' emotional responses. Learn more in this #OpenAccess article from #ASHASIG7 pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/... #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be

Usability of Over-the-Counter Hearing Aids in Older Adults Purpose: This study aimed to identify individual factors associated with older adults' ability to manage commercially available over-the-counter ...

Researchers aimed to identify individual factors associated with older adults' ability to manage commercially available over-the-counter hearing aids.

The Perceived Efficacy of Metacognitive Monitoring Among Undergraduate Students in an Introductory Communication Disorders Course Purpose: This study examines undergraduates' perceptions of the effectiveness of two metacognitive monitoring strategies, active comprehension mo...

Metacognition strategies may help students in communication sciences and disorders pick up specialized vocabulary and concepts earlier. Learn more about the effectiveness of metacognition in the latest from #ASHASIG10 pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/... #AuD2Be #SLP2Be

Exploring Stimulus Type and Acute Cigarette Smoking Effects on Auditory Middle Latency Responses in Younger and Older Smokers Purpose: The current study investigated effects of short-term, acute cigarette smoking compared to chronic smoking in the auditory middle latency...

Cigarette smoking has long been a public health concern, and can even affect auditory function. The latest from #ASHASIG7 looks at the effects of short-term acute smoking and chronic smoking on auditory brainstem response pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/... #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be

Clinical Supervisors' Perceptions of the Knowledge and Skills of Graduate Students in Augmentative and Alternative Communication Purpose: This initiative examines the clinical preparedness of speech-language pathology students from the clinical supervisors' perceptions in t...

In this article from #ASHASIG12, clinical supervisors of graduate students in CSD rated their students' knowledge and skills in augmentative and alternative communication, showing a need for further preparation in this area pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/...

Auditory Brainstem Responses at 8 kHz: Data From Normal-Hearing Infants and Adults Purpose: The goal of this study is to examine auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) recorded for click and 8-kHz tone bursts (TBs) from normal-hear...

Auditory brainstem response can help audiologists approximate hearing thresholds in people who are difficult to test. In this article from #ASHASIG9, authors studied how infants and adults responded to an 8-kHz tone burst on.asha.org/42ReCr1 #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be

X-Linked Deafness Type 2 and Poor Response to Cochlear Implantation: A Case Report Purpose: Hearing loss (HL) affects about one of every five children by the age of 18 years, and up to 60% can be related to genetic factors. The ...

Hearing loss affects one in 5 children, and is usually genetic. Authors present a case study of a child with X-linked deafness type 2 who responded poorly to cochlear implantation in the latest from #ASHASIG2 on.asha.org/43jpBeG #AuDPeeps #AuD2Be
