Head-related transfer function predictions reveal dominant sound propagation mechanisms to the dolphin ears.. Toothed whales possess specialized anatomical structures in the head, including thin, excavated lower mandible embedded in mandibular fat bodies (MFBs), complex skull morphology fused with the upper jaw, and extensive air spaces surrounding the middle ears and beneath the skull. In this study, finite element modeling is used to investigate how these structures influence the transmission of water-borne sounds to the ears. The models are based on volumetric representations derived from computed tomography scans of a live bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). The anatomical structur…

Beyond speech perception: contemporary landscape of language agnostic hearing assessment.. Speech perception testing remains the dominant framework for cochlear implant (CI) outcomes assessment, yet its reliance on language introduces two fundamental limitations. Mechanistically, speech recognition performance reflects a composite of peripheral auditory encoding, cognitive processing, and linguistic knowledge, obscuring the contribution of each. Practically, language-dependent testing systematically underserves patients with limited English proficiency, prelingually deafened children, and others for whom verbal response formats are not viable. Language agnostic hearing tests (LAHTs) assess…
