These cover a wide range of services for people with hearing or communication problems as well as for hearing professionals, families, or informal caregivers. This evolution can potentially bring along considerable advantages and improved outcomes in the field of hearing health care. Nevertheless, potential risks and threats (e.g., safety, quality, effectiveness, privacy, and regulation) should not be overlooked. Significant research\u2014particularly in terms of assessment and guidance\u2014is still needed for the informed, aware, and safe adoption of hearing-related apps by patients and professionals.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1044\/2015_aja-14-0093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,22]],"date-time":"2015-07-22T19:30:57Z","timestamp":1437593457000},"page":"293-298","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Apps for Hearing Science and Care"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Alessia","family":"Paglialonga","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Elettronica e di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e delle Telecomunicazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriella","family":"Tognola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Elettronica e di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e delle Telecomunicazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Pinciroli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Istituto di Elettronica e di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e delle Telecomunicazioni, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Milan, Italy"},{"name":"e-HealthLAB, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/jmir.2981"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","first-page":"201","article-title":"Standard reporting for medical apps","volume":"190","author":"Albrecht U.
