Communication scholarship is inherently interdisciplinary, and the study of listening by those claiming Communication Studies as their home is no different. This article traces the study of listening as a positive communication process from its roots in understanding how students comprehend lecture-based discourse to current explorations of its constitutive potential. In particular, it traces three strands of communication-focused listening scholarship: the study of what listening is, the study of what listeners do, and the study of how listening creates the very contexts that allow its operation.

Objective: To investigate the dynamics of collaborative learning in team-based learning (TBL) through students' reflections and feedback.
Methods: A phenomenological mixed-methods approach was adopted where the survey and reflections were conducted concurrently after the TBL session and the results were analyzed. The study employed a mini-cluster technique to include all first-year MBBS students of batch 2023-24 with an age range between 19 and 22 years.

Background: There is no established treatment for the acute exacerbation of trigeminal neuralgia. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of intravenous fosphenytoin for this disease.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of data from 41 patients with trigeminal neuralgia who received intravenous fosphenytoin therapy.

BACKGROUND The Carhart effect consists of a reduction in bone conduction thresholds associated with conductive hearing loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the Carhart effect in predicting outcomes from surgery in 3 age groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 532 patients with conductive hearing loss due to otosclerosis, otitis media with effusion, and chronic otitis media who underwent surgery between 2010 and 2020.

Despite extensive research on absolute pitch (AP), there remains no gold-standard task to measure its presence or extent. This systematic review investigated the methods of pitch-naming tasks for the classification of individuals with AP and examined how our understanding of the AP phenotype is affected by variability in the tasks used to measure it. Data extracted from 160 studies (N = 23,221 participants) included (i) the definition of AP, (ii) task characteristics, (iii) scoring method, and (iv) participant scores.

In everyday hearing, listeners face the challenge of understanding behaviorally relevant foreground stimuli (speech, vocalizations) in complex backgrounds (environmental, mechanical noise). Prior studies have shown that high-order areas of human auditory cortex (AC) pre-attentively form an enhanced representation of foreground stimuli in the presence of background noise. This enhancement requires identifying and grouping the features that comprise the background so they can be removed from the foreground representation.
