Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences, Department of Audiology and Speech Pathology, Al-Ahliyya Amman University, Amman, Jordan.
Objective: To assess the awareness about hearing loss and ear health among adults in Jordan.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted where a questionnaire was filled from the month of November to the month of December of the year 2023, to assess the level of awareness about hearing loss and ear health. The participants included were Jordanian adults (age ≥ 18 years) residing in the North, Middle and South of Jordan.
[Topical issues of early diagnosis of hearing loss in newborn children].

A group of Russian specialists dealing with the problems of auditory function in premature babies touches upon important issues of early detection of hearing loss and deafness in this contingent of children born before the date of physiological birth. The purpose of the article was to argue the need for a personalized approach to the diagnosis of auditory function in premature and full-term babies depending on the timing of gestation and their somatic state at the time of birth, as well as the comprehensive rehabilitation of children with hearing loss and deafness. The article describes the advantages of the previously developed computer program Multiplicity of audiological monitoring in children of the first year of life with risk factors for hearing loss and deafness.

Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Yonsei University Wonju College of Medicine, Wonju, Republic of Korea.
Background And Objectives: The immersive virtual reality (VR) simulator is advantageous because it is cost-effective, realistic, can be controlled directly by the user, and can be integrated into education and training in otorhinolaryngology. The present study explored the feasibility of incorporating VR pure-tone audiometry (PTA) into an audiologist training curriculum, and assessed audiology experts' willingness to use a VR PTA.
Materials And Methods: A total of 31 audiologists (16 skilled audiologists and 15 undergraduate students) participated in the study, using a developed VR PTA application with a Meta Quest 2 device.
Universal newborn screening for congenital cytomegalovirus infection.

Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading infectious cause of childhood disability, in particular sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Timeliness of diagnosis is crucial, since the presence of CMV in any compartment (eg, blood, urine, or saliva) after age 21 days can mean postnatal acquisition of infection, particularly in breastfed infants. Given these issues, there is considerable interest in implementation of screening programmes-either universal screening (where all newborns are tested) or targeted screening.

Program in Audiology and Communication Sciences, Department of Otolaryngology, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, St. Louis, Missouri.
Background: Clinicians are increasingly interested in self-reported hearing-specific quality of life (HQoL) for cochlear implant (CI) recipients, including pediatric CI recipients.
Purpose: (1) To compare HQoL of adolescent CI recipients to those of peers with typical hearing (TH); (2) to examine, longitudinally, HQoL for a set of CI recipients; and (3) to determine the effects of child, demographic, audiological, speech perception, and language variables on adolescent HQoL.
Research Design: Hearing Environments and Reflections on Quality of Life (HEARQL) questionnaires were completed by children with CIs at elementary (HEARQL-26) and adolescent (HEARQL-28) ages.
