"A new brain-inspired algorithm developed at BU could help hearing aids tune out interference and isolate single talkers in a crowd of voices.... it could improve word recognition accuracy by 40 percentage points relative to current hearing aid algorithms." From: www.bu.edu/articles/202...

Work from @kishoreneuro.bsky.social and Moss labs shows that the 🦇 midbrain contains spatially clustered neurons that categorize vocalizations, suggesting our brains may start making sense of communication sounds earlier in the auditory pathway❗️Kudos to Jenni for leading such exceptional work 👏🏽

Dr. Sherilyn Adler of the Ear Peace Foundation and co-author of HearO Saves the Day discusses how her children’s book introduces the concept of hearing protection in a fun and accessible way. hearinghealthmatters.org/thisweek/202... @earpeacefoundation.bsky.social @sharieberts.bsky.social #podcast

Hot off the press study from @janaklab.bsky.social reveals that chronic alcohol exposure leads to sex-specific (‼️) long term impairments in decision making. Kudos to @yfcheng.bsky.social for leading this fantastic work, with key contributions from @robinmagnard.bsky.social and collaborators! 👏🏽

I'm thrilled to be opening my own lab this Fall at the @maxplanck.de MPI for Brain Research in Frankfurt. The lab is going to investigate the neuronal and genetic underpinnings of behavioral evolution. We are hiring on all levels. Don't hesitate to share widely and reach out if interested.

"many DJs in the industry suffer from tinnitus due to exposure to loud music without ear protection.... To mitigate it [now], he uses a decibel meter in his studio that flashes red when sound levels exceed safe limits." From: edm.com/news/martin-... #edm #loveyourears #keeplistening
