In 2025, conversations around hearing health and hearing technology spanned an unusually broad and dynamic range—from deeply personal patient experiences to cutting-edge science shaping the future of care. This year’s most-watched episodes reflected growing interest in how innovation translates into real-world impact, whether through advances in cochlear implant systems, next-generation hearing aids, accessibility technologies such as Auracast, or emerging therapeutic and regenerative approaches.
Across the year, episodes explored major milestones in hearing technology, including new implant platforms, smarter fitting frameworks, and AI-enabled hearing aids designed to improve everyday listening. Other conversations took viewers inside leading research initiatives at academic institutions and biotechnology companies working to address hearing loss at its biological roots, from gene therapy to cell-based and synapse-targeted treatments. Patient-centered stories—such as life with a fully implanted cochlear implant—also played a central role, grounding scientific and technological progress in lived experience beyond the lab and clinic.
Below, we present the Top Episodes of 2025 from This Week in Hearing, capturing the discussions, breakthroughs, and perspectives that resonated most with our audience and helped define the evolving landscape of hearing healthcare this year.
