VCCA2026 – Tele-Audiology and Next-Generation Clinical Tools

RNID shares how insights from people with lived experience, professionals, and researchers are shaping a technology-enabled future for more accessible and person-centred healthcare.

Taking individual sound preferences into account when recommending hearing aids may result in clinical benefits.

This work proposes a conceptual digital ecosystem integrating behavioural and sound-based strategies to enable scalable tinnitus rehabilitation.

This study examines practitioners’ knowledge, attitudes, and use of tele-audiology in Türkiye, demonstrating moderate awareness alongside limited implementation and underscoring the need for targeted training and system improvements.

VIA+ is a unified mHealth platform that digitizes pediatric assessment, seamlessly integrating automated audiometry, language tasks, and cognitive screening to capture high-resolution digital biomarkers for early neurodevelopmental detection and profiling.

Online remote programming for Chinese domestic Nurotron cochlear implants was non-inferior to in-person programming, delivering comparable hearing and speech outcomes with good user acceptance.

ULIXES pilot data demonstrate that visual capture rate under competing cue conditions provides a sensitive, SNR-graded index of multisensory perceptual reweighting, with ongoing data collection targeting clinical translation. Written cues bias what listeners report hearing in noise, and this “visual capture” changes systematically with signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This provides a simple, quantitative index of how listeners shift between auditory and non-auditory information.

This pilot study explores how variations in consumer mobile hardware may affect the reliability of reinforced Adaptive Categorical Loudness Scaling (rACALOS) in remote testing.
