Can you hear the beep? 👂
An audiogram measures something extremely useful: the quietest pure tone we can detect at different frequencies.
But:
Detection ≠ Attention ≠ UnderstandingReal hearing means extracting a voice from noise, recognising incomplete information, localising sound, adapting to change — and doing all of that comfortably and without unreasonable cognitive effort.
My new HybridMind42 article asks a simple question:
Are we measuring hearing loss, or measuring enough of human hearing to understand what a person actually needs?The audiogram isn't the problem.
Don't break the tool. Define its proper boundaries.#HybridMind42 #Audiology #Hearing #HearingLoss #HearingAids #Tinnitus #Neuroscience #HumanPerception #ScienceCommunication

An evaluation of cognitive performance (working memory and attentional control) with respect to age and hearing acuity in approximately 100 people found that, although high-frequency hearing acuity and cognitive performance both declined with age, only low frequency (< 1,000 Hz) hearing loss was associated with lower cognitive performance after controlling for age.

(...Cont) The app 'dashboard' displays a warning that the function isn't working. The 'fix' is to unpair the aids via Android Bluetooth and reconnect via the app, which I mentioned previously doesn't work. 2 audiologists and the Hearing Advice service have tried and failed. Dana Logic has no tech support and doesn't answer emails. Forums suggest it's broken. Does anyone have it working? #Hearing #HearingAids

UK hard-of-hearing people, can you help? I have Dana Logic Ambio hearing aids with the pretty awful Be More Android app. The instructions say you should not use the Android Bluetooth pairing system but the one provided by the app, but it won't work on my phone. Normal Bluetooth doors with one exception, direct audio streaming that should allow the aids to work as media headphones (more...)

Hearing aid users fear being 'cut off from the world' by service cuts
By Oliver Brown, Patrick Reincke, and Sarah McConnellKym Files fears when hearing aid services are drastically cut in his remote city, he may be left weeks or even months in silence waiting for repairs.

🦻 🔇 💬
Speaking to someone with hearing loss:
• Get the listener’s attention before speaking. 👋
• Face the listener to facilitate speechreading.
• Avoid speaking from another room.
• Speak clearly at a moderate pace, without yelling.
• Don’t chew or cover your mouth while talking.
• Repeat or rephrase as needed; be patient and respectful.
' Don’t use dismissive comments, such as “never mind.”
Dim room lighting makes it difficult to speech read. Facial hair too.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐘🦻 #Elephants can hear messages sent through ground vibrations from more than 10 km away using bone conduction.
A #study found that elephants’ larger middle ear bones transmit low-frequency vibrations to the cochlea more effectively than human #ears. A special #muscle may also let elephants voluntarily close their ear canals, potentially boosting sensitivity to infrasonic #sounds by up to 30 times.

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦭🦻 A #research team used #3D CT scans to solve how #seals hear in both #air and #water.
They found that cavernous tissue in seal #ears fills with blood during dives to conduct #underwater #sound with less than 1% signal loss. The #adaptation traces to early #marine seals 26 million years ago, though it initially came with a #hearing trade off.

"While we know that seals can hear [in both air and water] what’s long remained a mystery is exactly how they do so, and when this ability evolved. In our new paper, published today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, we investigated amphibious hearing in seals to find answers to these questions."

New #openaccess article published in Trends in hearing! "Probing the Underlying Mechanisms of Spectro-Temporal Modulation Discrimination". Can you discriminate a rising frequency sweep from a downward one, in the presence of a background noise? Using reverse correlation, we investigated listeners’ sensitivity to specific frequency sweeps and the auditory mechanisms involved. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23312165261465060
Huge thanks to Lily Paulick for transforming a very complex set of data into a clear and rigorous paper!

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 📢🔊 An Australian town crier broke a 30-year shouting record with a 122.4-decibel cry of “now,” edging past the previous 121.7-decibel record held by a Northern Irish teacher since 1994.
The 58-year-old #Canberra air conditioner cleaner and honorary town crier attempted the word seven times before securing the Guinness World Record.

PsyPost: AI voice clones are easier to understand in noisy environments than real humans. “Artificial intelligence voice clones tend to be easier to understand in noisy environments than the actual human voices they mimic. This finding provides evidence that synthetic speech technology could significantly improve assistive communication devices for individuals with speech impairments.”
