After a series of measurements in 2018 we were able to evaluate a new interesting AOAE device the R140 from Resonance Italy. The device was in pre-clinical release status and its performance was not fully optimized. Nevertheless, the device showed great potential for screening applications and the company has informed us that the software will be soon updated with AABR capabilities.

There are news about the new HEAL (HEaring Across the Lifespan) Conference: According to the organizer Ferdinando Grandori
"The HEAL Conferences, known also as the Lake Como Conferences, have become the place where a broad community investigating all components of hearing care across the lifespan can work together to merge contemporary research findings with cutting-edge clinical practice.
Across the years, participation of some 500 to 600+ delegates representing some 50 to 60+ different countries, about 300 to 350+ selected presentations (oral communications and Posters), Round Tables, Satellite Events, together with vibrant discussions among participants, have made these meetings a great event, paralleling the increasing demands of this ever-growing field.
Presentations cover a perfect mix of topics and include (but are not limited to) basic research on mechanisms of hearing and hearing dysfunction, technological development in diagnosis, advances in hearing devices and instrumentation, medical issues related to programs implementation and patient management, psychosocial effects, causal pathways between hearing loss and cognitive decline/dementia, as well as clinical decision making, protocols and models, quality assurance, parents and public health perspectives and the most advanced e-Health applications to almost all areas of Audiology and Hearing care."

25/01/2018 : Updates on the "Advances on Audiology book"
The book "Advances in Audiology, Speech Pathology and Hearing Science" is an attempt to move teaching and learning to a new level, which we call 2.0. The idea of the book editors (Hatzopoulos, Ciorba & Krumm) is to supply not only the latest information in their field, but to provide a multimedia liaison of their material. In other words within the chapters there will be available multimedia links which will facilitate the comprehension of the material.
As it was announced in 2017, the OAE Portal will be used as a reservoir of this multimedia content, where possible (of not copyrighted material). The book is in its latest editorial phase, it has been divided into two volumes and unfortunately, a 40% of the submitted multimedia links reside within Youtube. It is still unknown ( copyright issues) if these links can be placed within a container in the OAE Portal.
