Background: Cochlear implants (CIs) are neuroprosthetic devices which restore hearing in severe-to-profound hearing loss through electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Current CIs use an externally worn audio processor. A long-term goal in the field has been to develop a device in which all components are contained within a single implant.

Background: Aviation noise policy in the United States is decades old and has not kept up with the science on the adverse effects of chronic noise exposure. New aviation noise policies are needed for the 21 century, respecting the lived experience of affected communities. Existing surveys have reported adverse impacts from aviation noise but more information is needed to understand the factors that contribute to those impacts.

Identifying and understanding prenatal developmental disorders at an early stage are crucial as fetal brain development has long-term effects on an individual's life. The maturation of the fetal autonomic nervous system (ANS) is believed to influence the coordination and direction of maternal-fetal heartbeat synchronization. Fetal behavioral states (FBSes) include quiet sleep (1F), active sleep (2F), quiet awake (3F), and active awake (4F).

Background: Pregnant people experience many physical changes which might affect their walking pattern. Waddling gait is a common gait pattern pregnant individuals adopt. It is unknown whether waddling gait is a sign of poor balance or a protective mechanism against loss of balance, so the aim of this study was to understand why some pregnant individuals adopt this gait pattern.

Introduction: Hearing aid (HA) manufacturers have introduced behind-the-ear (BTE) models where the microphone is positioned in the ear canal, which could impact auditory performance by distorting the pinna's acoustic cues. This study aimed to compare two different BTE HAs with varying microphone positions: the receiver in the ear (RITE) and the transducer in the ear (TIE).
Methods: The study involved 10 participants who had never used HAs before.
