“This funding represents a significant milestone for our platform as we continue to expand our team of audiologists and partner with employers to integrate hearing health into employee benefits packages,” said Danny Aronson, CEO and Co-founder of Tuned.

Against economic and geopolitical headwinds, GN Hearing reported a strong finish to the year with 14% organic revenue growth in Q4 2022 and 5% organic revenue growth in 2022 driven by significant market gains from the successful ReSound OMNIA launch. However, GN also announced it intends to raise capital in 2023 through the issuance of new shares which will probably add to speculation about the company's future M&A potential.

ESCO, a pioneer and the longstanding leader of loss and damage coverage for hearing aids, has announced the appointment of industry veteran Paul Harkness as the company's new president.

This study demonstrates that a recessive mutation (Cx26) once thought to be “harmless” can cause hyperacusis-like hearing oversensitivity. The data also indicate that GJB2 hetero-mutation carriers, found in 10 to 20% of the general population, are vulnerable to noise and should avoid noise exposure in daily life.

This study explores the cochlear morphology of 33 species using μCT scans and 3D models. It shows why rodents that have good low-frequency hearing display “tower-shaped” cochleae due to an increased degree of cochlear coiling. In contrast, primates present relatively wider cochleae and hence relatively better high-frequency hearing.
