An eight-year study underscores the critical need for universal newborn screening for congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV), revealing that one-third of related hearing loss cases develop after birth and would be missed without early detection programs.
Modern audiometers are streamlining workflows, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and improving patient counseling through integrated, automated, and upgradeable features.
Audioscan's 2024.1 software update for Verifit2 and Axiom introduces enhancements to bone-conduction device verification, streamlined ProbeGuide functionality, video recording capabilities, and improved networking.

The Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT) test is a new audiological test that helps determine the patient’s ability to understand in noise with hearing aids on. This is a novel approach to speech understanding in noise as ACT uses the patient audiogram to custom generate a signal to approximate aided speech results.
