Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the call for manuscripts on the topic of advanced diagnosis of hearing loss for our upcoming publication. We cordially invite researchers, clinicians, and experts in the field to contribute their innovative and groundbreaking work in this area.

This special issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in the diagnosis of hearing loss. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that explore novel diagnostic techniques and technological innovations.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  1. Advances in audiological assessment methods, such as genetic testing, imaging modalities, and objective hearing measurements.
  2. Breakthroughs in pharmacological therapies, stem cell transplantation, gene therapy, and regenerative medicine for hearing restoration.
  3. Utilization of digital signal processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in hearing aid technology and cochlear implants.

We look forward to receiving your manuscript submissions and to collaborating with you in advancing the field of audiology. Together, we can make a significant impact in improving the lives of individuals affected by hearing loss.

Hearing impairment is a global issue, affecting billions of people; however, there is a gap between the population affected by hearing loss and those able to access hearing healthcare. Tele-audiology, the application of telemedicine in audiology, serves as a new form of technology which aims to provide synchronous or asynchronous hearing healthcare. In this article, we reviewed some recent studies of tele-audiology-related topics to have a glimpse of the current development, associated challenges, and future advancement. Through the utilization of tele-audiology, patients can conveniently access hearing healthcare, and thus save travel costs and time. Recent studies indicate that remote hearing screening and intervention are non-inferior to the performance of traditional clinical pathways. However, despite its potential benefits, the implementation of tele-audiology faces numerous challenges, and audiologists have varying attitudes on this technology. Overcoming obstacles such as high infrastructure costs, limited reimbursement, and the lack of quality standards calls for concerted efforts to develop effective strategies. Ethical concerns, reimbursement, and patient privacy are all crucial aspects requiring in-depth discussion. Enhancing the education and training of students and healthcare workers, along with providing relevant resources, will contribute to a more efficient, systematic hearing healthcare. Future research will aim to develop integrated models with evidence-based protocols and incorporating AI to enhance the affordability and accessibility of hearing healthcare. Full article
