Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

298 - Exploring ReSound Enzo IA Hearing Aids: Super-Power Performance, Advanced Connectivity, and More
Q: What are the four non-negotiables GN had to preserve in the Enzo IA development for superpower users?
The four non-negotiables were improved hearing in noise, maintaining the same or higher gain without compromising feedback, long battery life, and integration of Auracast to enhance connectivity, especially for the population relying on telecoil today.
308 - The Unexplained Hearing Concerns of Adults with Normal Audiograms
Q: What can clinicians do today to improve care for these patients?
Listen to patients, trust their narratives, and center assessments on patient concerns. Consider adding speech-in-noise or complex listening tests, and be willing to pause standard protocols to address the patient's real-world difficulties.
308 - The Unexplained Hearing Concerns of Adults with Normal Audiograms
Q: How common are normal audiograms among patients who report hearing concerns, and what labels are used for this condition?
About 10% of people seeking help have normal audiograms; labels vary from King-Kapetsky syndrome to obscure auditory dysfunction or APD, but these terms often fail to pinpoint the underlying problem or guide treatment.
Live from the Audacity 2025 Conference - Nuance Audio Honored as 'Innovator of the Year'
Q: So what does it mean to you, in your own opinion, to have an award for the glasses from an audiology publication?
John explains that the award is important recognition from the audiology community and voters, validating the OTC glasses as a novel, accepted addition to practices and patient care, and that this recognition drives interest and credibility for adoption.
307 - Rock Guitarist Paul Gilbert Talks Hearing Loss, Hearing Aids & Staying Connected
Q: What advice would you give other musicians dealing with hearing loss?
Seek hearing protection and acoustic improvements, use hearing aids adapted slowly to your listening needs, and be open about your hearing status with collaborators to maintain clear, two-way communication on stage and in rehearsal.
