Despite presenting with normal hearing on a standard test, many individuals struggle to follow conversations in noisy places. This disconnect has driven research into hidden hearing loss (HHL), a condition defined by auditory nerve dysfunction despite normal pure-tone audiometry. A new review by Clemente, Cueva Indacochea, and Recinos Martínez consolidates the international evidence on HHL,…

Many people struggle to follow conversations in noisy places like restaurants, yet their standard hearing test results come back as “normal.” This frustrating disconnect is a core feature of hidden hearing loss (HHL), a condition where auditory nerve damage occurs despite normal pure-tone hearing thresholds. A new review synthesizes global evidence on HHL, analyzing its…

A 64-year-old woman with severe misophonia experienced an intense choking sensation and terror when hearing a basketball bounce. After a month of a non-invasive nerve stimulation therapy, her symptom severity score plummeted from 80 to 9, according to a new case report. The research offers a preliminary look at a novel approach for a condition…

A recent study demonstrates that simplifying the clinical process for bimodal neuromodulation—by using standard settings and virtual follow-ups—does not reduce the treatment’s effectiveness for tinnitus. The research, led by Grace Conchas, Yezihalem Mesfin, and Yuan He, found that after 12 weeks, patient compliance remained high and many participants achieved meaningful reductions in tinnitus severity. This…
