Moving past the usual suspects: a new framework for aural fullness

Key Points

• Aural fullness significantly impacts sound processing and acoustic environment interactions, shaping individual auditory experiences.
• It is essential to explore the underlying pathophysiology affecting the sensation of aural fullness, especially in chronic cases.
• The proposed framework integrates various sensory inputs, advancing approaches to understanding auditory phenomena.
• This model supports the need for future studies to deepen understanding of aural fullness in diverse populations.
