Hearing Loss, Cleft Conditions, and Craniofacial Abnormalities
Children with cleft lip and/or cleft palate—the most common birth defect in the United States—present unique audiologic challenges that include a high incidence of otitis media with effusion (OME). Recently, the MED-EL ADHEAR system has opened up new options for these patients. Five case studies are presented here showing how this new system represents an innovative, non-surgical therapeutic option for children who are born with cleft palate.

“Whattage”: A Hypothetical Construct in Hearing Healthcare
“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.

Donna 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).

Auditory Processing Disorders Diagnosed via Combined Tests
A new combination of tests can help audiologists working with children who have listening difficulties more accurately diagnose auditory processing disorders (APD), and distinguish these from other disorders such as attention deficit disorder (ADD) and autism.

Contemporary Issues in Auditory Processing Disorders: 2016
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.

Do Our Expectations of Sound Affect What We Hear?
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.
