Closing eyes to hear better is relevant to practitioners who work with attention, perception, and sensory processing in diverse client populations. The finding that eye closure can hinder auditory discrimination in noisy contexts, and that aligning visual input with sounds can enhance hearing, has implications for understanding multisensory integration and its impact on daily functioning, anxiety, and communication difficulties observed in various clients.

This brief note highlights two focal points: (1) multisensory processing and how visual state modulates auditory perception; (2) the potential for practical strategies that consider eye-opening and visual context to support clients facing listening challenges in real-world environments.

Closing your eyes to hear better might be a big mistake<br>
https://www dot sciencedaily dot com/releases/2026/03/260320073819 dot htm<br>
Many people believe closing their eyes sharpens hearing, but that is not always true. In noisy settings, participants struggled more to hear faint sounds with their eyes closed, while matching visuals made it easier. Researchers found that shutting the eyes leads the brain to over-filter incoming sounds. Keeping your eyes open may actually improve how well you hear in noise.<br>

Microsoft published a new patent for a device called the Eye-Gaze, which would allow users to communicate and interact with electronic devices without the use of hands and fingers for typing.

🔖PUBLICATION DAY
#openaccess paper: "The ability of typically developing 2–3 year olds to infer the control mechanism for #eyegaze technology & the impact of causal language instruction" in Disability & Rehab: Assistive Technology

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17483107.2023.2293874

The paper looks at whether young children can intuitively acquire control mechanisms for operating #eyegaze technology & what impact instruction has on performance. Findings may support those working with early eye-gaze users 👀

Some interesting insights here into how interaction with the @Apple #VisionPro will work: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10073/?time=741

#eyegaze seems to work by gazing and "clicking" via a hand movement - similar to using a switch-to-click in #assistivetech

Encouraging to hear that developers are encouraged to consider alternative forms of access that users may need, and to factor this into their designs.

Excited to be putting the finishing touches to my AAATE 2023 extended conference abstract - great programme for #AssistiveTech professionals and researchers coming up in Paris later this year: https://aaate2023.eu
