A New Dual-Streaming CROS/BiCROS Solution

A CROS solution is often recommended for persons with single-sided deafness (SSD) or unaidable hearing in one ear. Oticon CROS is the first wireless CROS/BiCROS solution with dual-streaming capability using an open sound paradigm. As shown in this study, the dual-streaming capability, with the receiving hearing aid of the CROS solution simultaneously receiving sound inputs from both the transmitting hearing aid and an external source, provides considerable benefit.

Non-Surgical Advances in Treatment for Conductive Hearing Loss

Amanda O’Donnell, AuD, reviews options for the treatment of conductive hearing loss and provides information on the new ADHEAR system by MED-EL. This unique non-surgical system consists of an advanced adhesive adapter that allows for the audio processor to be clicked into place for skin-driven bone conduction—offering a new option for patients and clinicians alike.

Cortical Neuroplasticity in Hearing Loss: Why It Matters in Clinical Decision-Making for Children and Adults

With a better understanding of cortical brain changes associated with hearing loss, the potential to develop objective brain-based tools (ie, biomarkers) increases. These tools may help clinicians determine when a patient should receive intervention, what kind of intervention or rehabilitation would be ideal, and may offer the ability to monitor how well a chosen intervention or rehabilitation method is working. Prominent researchers Anu Sharma and Hannah Glick explain why.
