Ototoxicity monitoring is a vital tool for preserving hearing in patients undergoing treatments with ototoxic medications, such as those used for cancer or tuberculosis. Bob Traynor and Renee Lafrancois from Shoebox Audiometry discuss the practical applications of this monitoring and how accessible tools are making it easier for clinicians to integrate into patient care.
At the 2024 Academy of Doctors of Audiology conference, a panel featuring Andrew Bellavia, Steve Taddei, and David Kemp provided insights into current innovations in hearing healthcare with a focus on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in diagnostics, devices, and care delivery. The wide-ranging discussion began by diving into how AI-driven tools such as automated audiograms, real-ear measurements, and advanced hearing aid programming, are poised to transform the landscape of hearing care both in clinics and in ways that reach underserved regions. Then they tackled AI in hearing aids, how it is employed today, and what's coming to improve outcomes particularly in noisy situations both in prescription and consumer devices.

This week we are joined by Dr. Daniel Sun, Director of the Division of Neurotology and Associate Professor of Otolaryngology at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, to discuss his pioneering research in hearing loss treatment.
Addressing the challenges of delivering large molecule medications to the inner ear, Dr. Sun introduces a novel approach using magnetic nanoparticles. These particles, guided by magnetic fields, could provide a more effective way to deliver treatments directly into the cochlea, offering new possibilities for managing sensorineural hearing loss.
