Thrilled to congratulate @snaplabgroup.bsky.social undergraduate researcher Shaina Wasileski on her outstanding poster at the 2025 Midwest Auditory Research Conference at NEOMED. Her results illuminate physiological contributors to individual variations in outcomes in sensorineural hearing loss.

@samhauser.bsky.social's findings demonstrate that precision, individualized calibration approaches can mitigate the effects of standing waves, making DPOAEs viable in this crucial high-frequency region!

Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) offer a non-invasive, passive (especially valuable for patients who may be too unwell for detailed behavioral testing) window, but standing waves from sounds bouncing around in the ear canal throw off measurements at these higher frequencies.👂

Looks like the open session of the NIDCD advisory council that was scheduled for today is off (for now) too. Hoping that the closed session/business items would proceed in some form now or soon.
