Auditio https://journal.auditio.com/auditio <p>After 20 years committed to the dissemination of hearing research in Spanish, AUDITIO | The Spanish Journal of Audiology is relaunching as a bilingual journal, and <strong>accepting contributions in the English language</strong>.</p> <p>AUDITIO considers for publication original research articles as well as acceptable secondary contributions (“Research Reports”) in the field of audiology and hearing sciences. Due to AUDITIO’s diverse readership, contributions should emphasize their significance for the <strong>scientific and clinical community</strong>, and the writing style should be adequate for a broad and multidisciplinary audience.</p> <p>To increase the outreach of our publication, since 2021 all articles published in AUDITIO are <strong>open access</strong> under a creative commons license and available <strong>both in English and Spanish</strong>. Contributions can be submitted in the two languages, with the translation being carried out by our team of professional scientific translators.</p> <p>AUDITIO evaluates the submissions in a <strong>rigorous and transparent peer-review</strong>. Furthermore, AUDITIO ensures the publication of articles of interest for the broad audiological community by having a <strong>"third reviewer"</strong>, usually a hearing care professional, who provides additional feedback in the peer-review process.</p> <p>AUDITIO is preserved using LOCKSS and PKP PN, registered in Sherpa/Romeo and has a detailed plan for full indexation in PubMed, DOAJ, REDIB, Web of Science by 2023 and Scopus by 2024. <strong><a href="https://journal.auditio.com/auditio/indexation2024">https://journal.auditio.com/auditio/indexation2024</a></strong></p> <p> </p> <p>Indexed in: <a href="https://scholar.google.com/scholar?as_q=&amp;as_epq=&amp;as_oq=&amp;as_eq=&amp;as_occt=any&amp;as_sauthors=&amp;as_publication=Auditio&amp;as_ylo=&amp;as_yhi=&amp;hl=es&amp;as_sdt=0%2C5">Google Scholar</a>, <a href="https://search.crossref.org/?q=+1577-3108&amp;from_ui=yes">Crossref</a>, <a href="https://buscador.recolecta.fecyt.es/buscador-recolecta?search_api_fulltext=&amp;_indexrecordidentifier=&amp;creator=&amp;repositoryname=Auditio&amp;f%5B1%5D=title%3AAuditio&amp;items_per_page=10">Recolecta</a>, <a href="https://core.ac.uk/search?q=repositories.id:(21150)">CORE</a>, <a href="https://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/revista?codigo=27017">Dialnet</a>, <a href="https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/search/details?id=68891">ICI World of Journals, </a><strong><a href="https://www.scilit.net/journal/6078980">Scilit, </a><a href="https://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_art&amp;q=&amp;fq=dt%3Aart&amp;source=Auditio">WorldCat</a>, <a href="http://miar.ub.edu/issn/1577-3108">MIAR, </a><a href="https://www.accesoabierto.net/dulcinea/ficha3649">Dulcinea, </a><a href="https://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/39426">Sherpa/Romeo, </a><a href="https://portal.issn.org/resource/ISSN/1577-3108">ROAD, </a><a href="https://www.base-search.net/Search/Results?type=all&amp;lookfor=auditio&amp;ling=0&amp;oaboost=1&amp;name=&amp;thes=&amp;refid=dcresen&amp;newsearch=1">BASE, </a><a href="https://publons.com/journal/901383/auditio/">Publons, </a><a href="https://app.dimensions.ai/discover/publication?search_mode=content&amp;search_text=Auditio&amp;search_type=kws&amp;search_field=full_search">Dimensions</a>, <a href="https://explore.openaire.eu/">OpenAire Explore</a>, <a href="https://www.semanticscholar.org/">SemanticScholar</a>, <a href="https://livre2.cnen.gov.br/">Livre!</a>.</strong></p> <p> </p> Asociación Española de Audiología en-US Auditio 1577-3108 <p><strong>Articles published after 2020</strong></p> <p>Authors retain copyright and grant the journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed, unless otherwise indicated, under a <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution License </a>that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this journal.

The pilot sample consisted of 10 men and 10 women aged 18-50 years without a neurotological history. For the statistical analysis, <em>intelligibility</em> of stimuli was measured and three interrelated categories were defined: <em>Mode </em>(contralateral or ipsilateral presentation of stimulus),<em> Ear </em>(left or right) and<em> Noise </em>(signal-noise ratio [SNR] of −5 dB and −10 dB). <strong>Results:</strong> The highest intelligibility was observed at −5 dB SNR, and stimuli were categorized as very easy; intelligibility at −10 dB SNR was 0.95 for words and 0.97 for sentences. The lowest intelligibility for words was 0.76 for the left ear, with ipsilateral noise at −10 dB SNR. <strong>Conclusions: </strong>According to our pilot test, the most suitable SNR is −10 dB. In the next stage of this test validation macroprocess, stimuli that were found to have very high or very low intelligibilities should be modified because they may hinder the interpretation of the test results.</p> Laura Melisa Buitrago Roa Amanda Teresa Paez Pinilla Eliana Romero Niño Copyright (c) 2023 Laura Melisa Buitrago Roa, Amanda Teresa Paez Pinilla, Eliana Romero Niño https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-07-17 2023-07-17 7 e88 e88 10.51445/sja.auditio.vol7.2023.0088 Do complications of percutaneous osseointegration justify a switch to transcutaneous devices? A retrospective longitudinal study on complications https://journal.auditio.com/auditio/article/view/89 <p>Introduction: Percutaneous bone conduction implants are the standard osseointegration model used to provide an alternative treatment option for conductive and mixed hearing loss. In recent years, the indications for these implants have increased, despite concerns about their use because of local complications. The aim of this study was to describe the complications of percutaneous osseointegrated devices implanted at our hospital.<br />Material and methods: A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted in 57 consecutive patients who received a Baha®-type percutaneous bone conduction implantation. The main clinical indications were chronic otitis media and ear malformations. Local periimplant complications were described using the Holgers classification.<br />Results: After a mean follow-up of 12 months (range: 4-48 months), 26.31% of patients had some type of peri-implant soft tissue complication. Only one patient (1.75%) had major reactions requiring removal of the implant. Complications in the paediatric age group were notably higher, affecting 42.85% of the children.<br />Conclusions: The local complication rate in our study was at the lower end of the range described in the literature, which reports a very wide range of rates, even reaching 70%. Most complications are minor and resolve with topical antibiotic treatment. However, the rate is higher in children.</p> Marta Núñez Juan Castro Jiménez Francisco Fernández-Nogueras Jiménez Juan Manuel Espinosa Sánchez Juan Garcia-Valdecasas Bernal Copyright (c) 2023 Marta Núñez, Juan Castro Jiménez, Francisco Fernández-Nogueras Jiménez, Juan Manuel Espinosa Sánchez, Juan Garcia-Valdecasas Bernal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-11-02 2023-11-02 7 e89 e89 10.51445/sja.auditio.vol7.2023.0089 The 12-item Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale questionnaire: administration suggestions and guidance https://journal.auditio.com/auditio/article/view/94 <p>Hearing questionnaires are extremely useful tools for describing people's hearing abilities and for measuring and documenting hearing device fitting outcomes. The Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ) questionnaire is often used and is even available in different versions and formats. However, detailed instructions and guidance for the clinician administering the questionnaire are limited. Below are some suggestions and guidance for reducing variability when administering the questionnaire, thereby maintaining consistency in both clinical and research settings alike.</p> Oscar M.
