Purpose: This article provides an overview of the Towson University doctor of audiology (AuD) program.
Method: Faculty and facilities, program highlights and requirements, admission criteria, and funding opportunities are summarized.
Conclusions: Towson University is a student-focused university with an emphasis on interactive and interdisciplinary hands-on learning. The physical facilities include an active on-campus clinic and newly renovated facilities that are equipped with the latest diagnostic, treatment, research, and teaching equipment. Off-campus clinical rotations occur at state-of-the-art health care facilities in the Baltimore-Washington, DC, corridor and surrounding areas. Fourth-year externships include facilities across the United States. The AuD program includes a 104-credit curriculum combining didactic, clinical, and research courses. A comprehensive assessment system tracks progress throughout the program to ensure graduates are well prepared for entry into the profession as autonomous audiologists.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a promising intervention for adolescents with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). However, the durability of TMS-related improvement in adolescents is unclear. This 6-month study followed adolescents with TRD who had responded to TMS and provided TMS retreatment for adolescents with a partial relapse.

Department of Speech Language Pathology & Audiology, Towson University, Towson, Maryland, USA.
Objectives: Musicians face an increased risk of hearing loss due to prolonged and repetitive exposure to high-noise levels. Detecting early signs of hearing loss, which are subtle and often elusive to traditional clinical tests like pure-tone audiometry, is essential. The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of noise exposure on the electrophysiological and perceptual aspects of subclinical hearing damage in young musicians with normal audiometric thresholds.

Replicating psychological research has become a central concern for psychologists. Although attention has been paid to the possibility of heterogeneous populations driving replication success/failure, the heterogeneous recruitment strategies researchers use to draw samples from those populations are often overlooked. Yet recruitment strategies may bias the participants who show up and shape replication results.
