Hearring Group

🎙️ BEYOND SOUND is back!

We’re excited to return with a new episode tackling one of the most discussed questions in cochlear implantation:

Does electrode choice determine success in single-sided deafness (SSD)—or is the picture far more complex?

In this episode, an international panel of HEARRING Group experts explores the factors that influence outcomes in SSD, from electrode design and surgical decision-making to neuroplasticity, cognition, rehabilitation, patient counseling, and duration of deafness.

Featuring insights from:
• Prof. Gunesh Rajan
• Prof. Rudolf Hagen
• Prof. Dayse Tavora-Vieira
• Prof. Sima Sugarova
• Prof. Meg Dillon

Together, they examine the evidence, challenge assumptions, and discuss what truly contributes to successful binaural hearing outcomes.

🎧 In this episode:
✔️ Electrode design and surgical decision-making
✔️ Binaural hearing outcomes in SSD
✔️ Neuroplasticity and long-duration deafness
✔️ Counseling, rehabilitation, and patient expectations
✔️ Cognition, aging, and outcome variability

Whether you are a clinician, researcher, audiologist, or hearing implant professional, this discussion offers valuable perspectives on achieving the best possible outcomes for people with single-sided deafness.

🚨 Hearing counselling is not only about test results — it’s about understanding the patient’s everyday challenges, emotions, and communication needs.

That’s why we created the Hearring Counselling Tool — a solution designed to support professionals in delivering more patient-centered hearing care.

By using a structured counselling approach during diagnosis, clinicians can:

• Better understand the patient’s listening difficulties
• Improve communication and trust during consultations
• Support informed decision-making
• Increase patient engagement and motivation
• Create a more personalized treatment journey

Effective counselling helps transform hearing diagnostics from a technical procedure into a meaningful conversation that truly supports the patient.

At HEARRING, we believe that combining technology with empathetic communication leads to better outcomes for both professionals and patients.

We have the opportunity to share with you the recording from the World Hearing Day that took place at the European Parliament.

Hearing health is essential to overall well-being, communication, and quality of life.
Hearing loss affects millions of people across Europe and globally—yet it is often overlooked, underdiagnosed, and undertreated. Raising awareness, improving access to care, and prioritizing prevention are key steps toward better public health outcomes.

We are proud to share that our Hearring member, Prof. Dr. Paul Van de Heyning, contributed to this important initiative—helping drive awareness and action in the field of hearing health.

🎧 Listen to the discussion - Link in Bio

We support the call to action: make hearing care accessible, integrated, and a priority within healthcare systems.

Let’s continue the conversation and work together toward a future where hearing health is recognized as a fundamental part of healthy living.

🎧 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the focus of our first bonus episode of the BEYOND SOUND podcast.

In this episode, Prof. Hagr and Kari Smilsky provide expert insights into this clinically significant yet often under-recognized topic.

CMV is one of the most prevalent viral infections globally, and many individuals remain unaware of its potential implications. While infection is typically asymptomatic, primary infection during pregnancy can lead to the virus being passed to the developing baby, potentially leading to serious outcomes such as sensorineural hearing loss.
Awareness is therefore essential — particularly for those planning a pregnancy, currently pregnant, or involved in prenatal and early childhood care.

👉 In this bonus episode, we explore:
• What CMV is and how it spreads
• Clinical relevance before and during pregnancy
• Evidence-based strategies to reduce risk in daily life
• The importance of timely and appropriate approaches to newborn hearing screening

Improving awareness and understanding supports informed decision-making and better outcomes for children and families.
