In rodent models, acoustic exposure too modest to elevate hearing thresholds can
nonetheless cause auditory nerve fiber deafferentation, interfering with the coding of supra …

Permanent threshold elevation after noise exposure or aging is caused by loss of sensory
cells; however, animal studies show that hair cell loss is often preceded by degeneration of …

Wave V of the auditory brainstem response and N 1 from the ear canal were recorded from
normal hearing adults using a forward masking paradigm. Response amplitudes and …

We investigated the auditory brainstem response (ABR) recovery from forward masking
using toneburst maskers and probes. Two subject groups matched for hearing thresholds …

Evidence from animal and human studies suggests that moderate acoustic exposure,
causing only transient threshold elevation, can nonetheless cause “hidden hearing loss” that …

Age-related hearing decline typically includes threshold shifts as well as reduced wave I
auditory brainstem response (ABR) amplitudes due to cochlear synaptopathy/neuropathy …

Little is known about how outer hair cell loss interacts with noise-induced and age-related
auditory nerve degradation (ie, cochlear synaptopathy) to affect auditory brainstem response …

Listeners with normal audiometric thresholds can still have suprathreshold deficits, for
example, in the ability to discriminate sounds in complex acoustic scenes. One likely source …

Forward masking, as measured behaviorally, is defined as an increase in a signal's
detection threshold resulting from a preceding masker. Previously, forward masking in the …

The audibility of important sounds is often hampered due to the presence of other masking
sounds. The present study investigates if a correlate of the audibility of a tone masked by …
