This review details the effects of Phonak Roger remote microphone systems on auditory processing and psychosocial functions across diverse populations.
Phonak announced the launch of the second generation of Roger Focus, the ear-level receiver that allows “children, teens, and adults to hear a speaker’s voice via any Roger microphone.”
Higdon succeeds Interim CEO Margo Amgott and assumes his new position on May 28, 2019.
Many audiologists believe that we cannot and should not evaluate children for auditory processing disorders (APD) below 7 years of age. However, they usually do not present evidence to support this statement.

“Whattage” represents the frequency with which a listener uses “What?”, cognate words, or behaviors that prompt repetitions by a communicatively significant other. The concept of “Whattage” has broad implications for marketing the value of hearing correction to the general public, as well as individual members of the communicative dyad.
Read MoreDonna Geffner, PhD, says that if we wait until age 7 or 8 to intervene on behalf of children with auditory processing disorders, we are denying them the benefits of early intervention, remediation, treatment, and the right to a free appropriate public education (FAPE).

Despite a well-attended history, there is little agreement on the definition, diagnosis or treatment of auditory processing disorders (APDs) in 2016. APDs remain universally ill-defined and poorly understood. In this article, co-authors Beck, Clarke and Moore tackle contemporary APD issues, and more.

A new book from Thieme, Auditory Processing Deficits, provides clinical information on APD, an important, growing area of interest in the field of audiology. Written by Vishakha Rawool, PhD, the book contains the latest guidelines on screening, diagnosis, and intervention of auditory processing deficits, and includes key information on related assessment tools and management strategies.

Scientists are investigating auditory central processing in an effort to better understand whether our expectations of sound affect how, and what, we hear. Bournemouth University and Heidelberg University researchers are using computational neuroscience models to map the way the brain processes sound.
