Aphex Twin just released th1[evnslower] on Spotify. Apparently, there is an expanded version of Selected Ambient Works Volume II about to be released 30 years after its original release. Shoegaze ambient at its best! Love it! open.spotify.com/track/1LtfK8H5…

Good team effort, @radboudumc Jeanette Vreman, Tim Frenzel, Han van der Hoeven, Joris Lemson, and Mark van den Boogaard.

While interventions like reducing equipment noise and implementing quiet times help reduce annoyance and alarms, they don’t always lower overall sound levels. But safety can still be enhanced—something to keep in mind!

Working in a busy ICU? Looking to reduce noise and disturbances? Architectural redesign might be the answer. Studies show it significantly lowers sound levels and reduces nurse distractions. Check out sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is a big step! Hearing again after gene therapy! We will hear more as there are at least four groups working on this specific form of hearing loss! Stay tuned! theguardian.com/science/articl…

👂 It's crucial to note that CI non-use may occur if residual hearing is sufficient, reducing perceived benefits. Plus, adjusting to CI can be tough for those with long-term high-frequency loss. Proper counseling is key to managing expectations.

🚀 Delving deeper into cochlear implants for TMPRSS3-associated hearing loss! This group faces a difficult challenge with generally good low-frequency hearing but severe high-frequency loss (i.e., a ski-slope HL). This complexity often complicates CI decisions. #CochlearImplant

🚀 New publication alert! "The Natural History & Genotype-Phenotype Correlations of TMPRSS3 Hearing Loss" just dropped in Hum. Genet. 🧬👂 Largest-ever dataset from an intl. collab across 16 centers & 6 countries, unveiling key insights into TMPRSS3 hearing loss! Dive in:

Bevrijdingsdag (ik heb niet kunnen achterhalen wie de illustratie gemaakt heeft):

Let wel, we weten nog veel niet over het onstaan en daarmee verlichting van de last maar volgens mij is verlaging van geluidsniveau nou net iets wat wel een relatief eenvoudig kan! @VoorzitterNVKF @nvkfysica @NVAudiologie

Echter, voorkomen is nog steeds effectiever dan genezen en het is ook erg jammer dat 'beleving' en commerciële belangen zwaarder lijken te wegen. En dat evidentie als argument gebruikt wordt is een zwaktebod want juist voor gehoorverlies is er wel een dosisrelatie met niveau...

Tinnitus is een serieus probleem! Helaas is er geen oplossing voor al is er veel media-aandacht voor implantaten die nog niet bewezen effectief zijn. Hulp via audiologisch centrum en bepaalde vormen van therapie zijn wèl effectief (then again, niet voor iedereen even goed)

It is World Hearing Day today! About the invisible disability that is not only not visible from the outside but is also stigmatized and ignored while it still affects us all. Trying to change mindsets! #hearhear who.int/campaigns/worl…

@AROMWM I may be a bit jet-lagged but the post here on X about the #ARO2024 are offset by quite a number of timezones... Nevertheless it was a blast! Thanks and till next year!
