Declining or Waning
- Traditional Audiometric Methods:
There appears to be a waning focus on conventional audiometric methods as more researchers pivot towards innovative and technology-driven approaches, such as remote testing and digital assessments. - Occupational Noise Exposure Studies:
Research on occupational noise exposure and its direct effects on hearing is less prevalent, possibly due to a shift towards broader public health implications and preventive audiology. - Basic Research in Auditory Physiology:
While foundational studies in auditory physiology remain important, there has been a decline in papers solely dedicated to basic physiological research, with a trend towards applied research that addresses clinical outcomes.
