This scoping review aims to comprehensively synthesize current research on the use of mobile applications in otology, identify research gaps, and assess the feasibility of mobilebased applications in this field. The aim is to support and direct future research studies on harnessing the potential of mobile technology in otology. Following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a literature profiling approach was adopted using the Google Scholar search engine from September 2022 to January 2023. Only articles published in English between 2012 and 2023 were included, resulting in a final sample size of 32 papers. The results revealed an increasing focus on the remote delivery of healthcare, with the majority of the articles originating from the United States and authored by medical doctors. Two main categories were identified within the 32 selected journals: audiology and smartphone otoscopy. A total of 124 mobile applications were identified in these journals, with 48 applications for hearing tests and 27 applications for smartphone otoscopes being the most commonly utilized. Mobile applications have the potential to serve as valuable tools in the field of otology, especially in the context of smartphone hearing tests and smartphone-enabled otoscopes. However, further research is needed to assess their effectiveness, accuracy, and appropriate usage.

Introduction The spatial auditory system, though developed at birth, attains functional maturity in the late childhood (12 years). Spatial changes during childhood affect navigation in the environment and source segregation. Accommodation of a new skill through learning, especially during childhood, can expedite this process. Objective To explore the auditory spatial benefits of abacus training on psychoacoustic metrics in children. The study also aimed to identify the most sensitive metric to abacus training related changes in spatial processing, and utilize this metric for a detailed spatial error profiling. Methods A standard group comparison analysis with 90 participants divided into three groups: I: children with abacus training (C-AT); II: children with no training (C-UT); III: adults with no training (A-UT). The groups underwent a series of psychoacoustic tests, such as interaural time difference (ITD), interaural level difference (ILD), and virtual auditory space identification (VASI), as well as perceptual tests such as the Kannada version of the speech, spatial, and quality questionnaire (K-SSQ). Results Significant group differences were observed in the multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and post-hoc tests, with the C-AT group showing significantly lower ILD scores (p=0.01) and significantly higher VASI scores (p<0.001) compared to the C-UT group, which is indicative of better spatial processing abilities in the former group. The discriminant function (DF) analyses showed that the VASI was the most sensitive metric for training-related changes, based on which elaborate error analyses were performed. Conclusions Despite the physiological limits of the immature neural framework, the performance of the C-AT group was equivalent to that of untrained adults on psychoacoustic tests, which is reflective of the positive role of abacus training in expediting auditory spatial maturation.
