Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of auditory deprivation on tennis-stroke accuracy and perceived exertion among tennis players, with a focus on understanding how auditory inputs affect sport performance.
Methods: A total of 77 active tennis players participated in this controlled trial, which involved playing tennis under standard auditory conditions and with auditory deprivation using noise-isolation devices. Data were collected using a Zepp Tennis Smart Sensor 2 to assess hit accuracy, and the Borg Rating-of-Perceived-Exertion (RPE) scale was used to measure exertion levels.
Results: Players demonstrated significantly lower accuracy in hitting the center of the racket under auditory deprivation compared with standard auditory conditions (OR: 0.71, 95% CI, 0.68 to 0.75, P < .001). Additionally, auditory deprivation resulted in higher reported exertion levels, with 75% of participants reporting increased RPE compared with standard conditions (95% CI, 64% to 84%, P < .001).
Conclusions: Auditory deprivation negatively impacts both the accuracy of tennis strokes and the subjective experience of exertion in players. These findings highlight the importance of auditory cues in sport performance and suggest that integrating sensory feedback can enhance athletic training and performance strategies. This study supports further exploration of sensory inputs' role in sport and their potential in training regimens.

In the recent two decades it became possible to compensate severe-to-profound hearing loss using cochlear implants (CIs). The data from implanted children demonstrate that hearing and language acquisition is well-possible within an early critical period of 3 years, however, the earlier the access to sound is provided, the better outcomes can be expected. While the clinical priority is providing deaf and hard of hearing children with access to spoken language through hearing aids and CIs as early as possible, for most deaf children this access is currently in the second or third year of life.

Background: Sleep disorders have been associated with auditory dysfunction. However, the specific effects of sleep fragmentation (SF) on the peripheral auditory system and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Methods: Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were analyzed to examine the association between sleep disturbances and difficulties in speech perception in noisy environments among participants with normal audiograms.

Ear advantage (EA) reflects hemispheric asymmetries in auditory processing. While a right-ear advantage (REA) for speech and a left-ear advantage (LEA) for music are well documented in typically developing individuals, it is unclear how these patterns manifest in young children with cochlear implants (CIs). This study investigated whether pupillometry could reveal asymmetric listening efforts in toddlers with bilateral CIs when listening to speech and music under monaural stimulation.
