New study finds link between "brain fog" symptoms in long COVID patients and auditory processing disorder (APD)—an underdiagnosed neurological disorder.
Biotech company CILcare adds four hearing experts to its Scientific Advisory Board: Keith Darrow, Stéphane Maison, Aimo Kannt, and Dona Jayakody. The SAB will help develop CILcare's synaptopathy pipeline, which targets early markers of neurocognitive and inflammatory diseases.
Aryn Kamerer, assistant professor in Communicative Disorders and Deaf Education at USU and director of the Hearing Health Laboratory, has received a grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders to develop new hearing tests that can diagnose single-exposure hearing loss.
Read MoreThe audiogram has been used to determine whether someone needs hearing help and whether they would benefit from a hearing aid. The fact that only 30% of those with a measurable hearing loss (PTA > 25 dB HL) has been used repeatedly to indict the hearing aid industry for not helping the 70% of those with a hearing loss who are presumed to need hearing help.

Researchers say the investigation may help explain why some implant recipients respond so much better to treatment than others.
