Publishing research within thematic collections- such as special issues, research topics, and guest-edited volumes- has become an integral part of scholarly communication. These formats offer established benefits: they support community building, increase the visibility and impact of research, and allow for deeper exploration of emerging or interdisciplinary topics - accelerating discussion and discovery. At Frontiers, Research Topics are our model for these article collections. Defined and led by expert researchers, they unite global communities around a common theme and ensure the outcomes are openly available. This approach not only supports scientific progress but also ensures that new knowledge can be rapidly translated into real-world change.

Researchers analyzed data from 27,656 Americans between 23 and 43 years old in the ADD Health study. They found that participants reporting to have poor or worse hearing had significantly lower educational attainment, a lower probability of being in paid work, and earned less than their peers. These negative impacts of hearing loss were especially pronounced for Black and Hispanic Americans. Suffering from tinnitus was not found to have any effect on these outcomes. The authors propose better access to hearing care, early screening, and workplace support, as well as reducing stigma, to level the playing field for people with hearing loss.
