Newborns are routinely screened for hearing loss; screening typically occurs in the newborn nursery and newborn intensive care unit. Understanding the process and outcomes of initial hearing screening and ongoing early hearing detection and intervention programs (EHDI) are important roles of the newborn/neonatal intensive care (NICU) nurse. Infants that require NICU care are at higher risk of hearing loss and need close follow-up and repeat hearing testing throughout their first 3 years of life. Parents experience anxiety and worry related to potential hearing loss problems and need guidance, education, and information on infant hearing to ensure the best possible outcome for their infant.

Does the audiogram shape influence the intracochlear recording of Electrocochleography during and after cochlear implantation?
Front Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Hannover Medical School, Hanover, Germany.
During cochlear implant (CI) surgery, it is desirable to perform intraoperative measurements such as Electrocochleography (ECochG) to monitor the inner ear function and thereby to support the preservation of residual hearing. However, a significant challenge arises as the recording location of intracochlear ECochG via the CI electrode changes during electrode insertion. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between intracochlear ECochG recordings, the position of the recording contact within the cochlea relative to its anatomy, and the implications for frequency and residual hearing preservation.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the self-perception of voice at different times and the influence of age, number of infections, underlying diseases, and occupational voice use among individuals with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), with or without a history of hospitalization.
Methods: Data were collected from adults and older adults with COVID-19, treated at a Brazilian Military Hospital between April 2020 and May 2023. The questionnaire was sent by email and a messaging application.
Learning About Classroom Accessibility From a Student-Instructor Partnership.
Health Promot Pract
January 2025
Colorado School of Public Health, Aurora, CO, USA.
In this commentary, we, a recent Master of Public Health (MPH) graduate with hearing loss and a course instructor, share what we learned about classroom accessibility while participating in a semester-long qualitative research methods course offered during the COVID-19 pandemic. We complement our reflections on working together with findings from a student field project focused on the lived classroom experiences of graduate students with hearing loss. The field project revealed that students adapted to increased communication challenges in their learning environments without requesting official accommodations due to stigma and a desire to limit their burden on others.

Usher syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that primarily affects both vision and hearing, manifesting as sensorineural hearing loss and progressive vision loss caused by retinitis pigmentosa. The pathogenesis of retinal degeneration in Usher syndrome is still largely unknown. In this study, a novel Ush2a knockout mouse model was successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.
