Key Takeaways Tinnitus is associated with poorer self-reported hearing and dichotic listening, even in young adults with normal hearing. Advanced genetic analysis shows tinnitus does not cause speech-in-noise problems; instead, they are separate conditions with a shared genetic basis. This shared genetic risk appears to affect brain regions involved in sound processing, attention, and emotion,…
Key Takeaways Over 12% of students showed hearing loss in their left ear, and more than 22% in their right ear, despite normal hearing on standard tests. Exposure to loud noise from sources like concerts or machinery was strongly linked to hidden hearing loss in the right ear. One in six students (15.8%) reported tinnitus,…

Nearly 10% of infants at risk for hearing loss were lost to follow-up in a seven-year screening program at a French university hospital. This finding from a study of 1,461 newborns highlights a persistent challenge in pediatric audiology, even as the screening itself successfully identified 60 children for early intervention. Key Takeaways Targeted newborn hearing…

A 2016 conference proceedings published in *BMC Health Services Research* presented a broad spectrum of health research, including findings relevant to auditory health and tinnitus. The work of researchers Ä°sa Tuncay Batuk and Irem Karakuluk, included in this collection, contributes to a wider conversation on managing chronic auditory conditions like tinnitus through patient-centered approaches. Key…
A targeted newborn hearing screening program in France identified 60 deaf or hard-of-hearing children over a six-year period, giving them access to early intervention. However, nearly 10% of infants in the program were lost to follow-up, highlighting a critical weakness in the system. Key Takeaways A two-step screening protocol identified hearing impairment in 4.55% of…
A study presented at the 3rd IPLeiria’s International Health Congress in 2016, involving over 200 researchers and practitioners, documented a significant finding in tinnitus care. The research, published in BMC Health Services Research, analyzed the outcomes of a specific intervention for tinnitus sufferers and found that structured health education can lead to measurable improvements in…
A 2026 systematic review from a prominent Russian research institute has analyzed 21 studies to evaluate how modern neurophysiology explains the effectiveness of non-drug tinnitus therapies. The work from the St. Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Ear, Throat, Nose and Speech concludes that several methods grounded in principles of brain neuroplasticity show statistically significant benefits,…
