    257 - Transforming Aural Rehabilitation: AI-Powered Auditory Training with LACE AI Pro

    With auditory training gaining renewed attention, Neurotone’s revitalized LACE AI Pro is emerging as a powerful tool for improving hearing outcomes. In this discussion, Dr. Miles Aron, COO of Neurotone, explores how the company is modernizing auditory training through AI technology, gamification, and an expansive library of customizable exercises. LACE focuses on synthetic auditory training, helping patients improve their ability to understand speech in noise, process rapid speech, and enhance working memory—all critical skills for hearing aid users and individuals with auditory processing disorders. Dr. Aron highlights the significant impact auditory training can have on hearing aid adoption and satisfaction, with studies showing reduced device return rates and improved speech-in-noise test scores for those who complete LACE training. He also introduces features like AI-generated avatars, personalized voice simulations, and multilingual options, all designed to keep patients engaged and motivated. With Neurotone's recent acquisition of Amptify, the combined expertise of these two platforms is set to create the most science-backed and comprehensive auditory training solution available, offering clinicians a powerful tool to improve outcomes and strengthen patient-clinic connections.

    256 - Can Cell Therapy Reverse Hearing Loss? Latest Update on Development of the ReSonance™ Program

    Can cell therapy revolutionize hearing loss treatment? In this follow-up discussion, Brian Culley, CEO of Lineage Cell Therapeutics, shares exciting updates on the ReSonance™ (ANP1) program, a pioneering preclinical study exploring auditory neuron cell transplantation. Culley explains how lab-grown auditory neurons are being delivered to the inner ear to potentially restore damaged auditory pathways—a groundbreaking approach that could even complement existing treatments. In this conversation, Culley sheds light on the preclinical results, including the successful delivery of auditory neurons in animal models, and discusses the challenges and opportunities ahead as Lineage prepares for clinical trials. The discussion also touches on the broader implications of cell therapy and its potential integration into hearing care solutions. Interested in the latest in cell therapy and other cutting-edge hearing loss treatments under development? You won't want to miss out on the Hearing Therapeutics Virtual Summit. Taking place from February 4-5.

    255 - Exploring the Role of Neuroimaging in Diagnosis and Management of Auditory and Vestibular Disorders

    Neuroimaging is an essential tool in diagnosing and managing complex auditory and vestibular conditions, and the new textbook 'Neuroimaging of the Auditory and Vestibular Systems: A Clinician’s Guide' is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge needed to excel in this field. In this discussion, Dr. Matthew Bush, otolaryngologist and department chair at the University of Kentucky, highlights the book's multidisciplinary approach, combining perspectives from audiology, radiology, and otology to provide a comprehensive resource for clinicians. The text systematically explores the anatomy, pathology, and imaging findings of the auditory and vestibular systems, offering practical insights for identifying and managing complex conditions. As audiologists in some states gain the ability to order imaging, this book becomes increasingly relevant for professionals aiming to meet the evolving demands of patient care. By bridging gaps between disciplines, the textbook promotes collaborative communication and enhances diagnostic accuracy. Dr. Bush also discusses the broader importance of integrating neuroimaging into clinical practice, not just for all healthcare providers involved in hearing and balance care.

    253 - AI-Powered Sound Bubbles: Transforming How We Hear in Noise

    Shyam Gollakota, a professor at the University of Washington and digital health innovator, is pioneering a revolutionary solution to the 'cocktail party problem,' a longstanding challenge in hearing technology. His team has created a groundbreaking "sound bubble" device that enables users to amplify voices within a specific range while minimizing external noise and distractions. Designed to adapt dynamically to different listening environments, this technology provides a customizable solution for clearer communication in noisy settings. The device empowers users to concentrate on voices within the bubble, filtering out background noise and unwanted sounds. It offers a transformative way to navigate challenging auditory environments, such as busy restaurants or group conversations, enhancing the overall listening experience. The prototype, initially designed as a headset with six microphones, uses advanced AI algorithms to achieve precise sound localization and selective amplification of voices within the bubble. The system is dynamic, allowing users to adjust the bubble's size and shape, and it functions in real time without requiring individual calibration. Gollakota also discusses future plans to transition this technology into wireless earbuds and hearing aids, ensuring it remains efficient and accessible for broader use. Looking forward, Gollakota’s team is focused on scaling this technology to impact both consumer and healthcare markets. While parts of the algorithm are open-sourced for research purposes, commercialization efforts aim to bridge hardware and software expertise to accelerate adoption. Beyond hearing enhancement, Gollakota envisions hearables as a powerful interface between humans and AI, with potential applications in augmenting intelligence, creativity, and memory.
