Noise-exposure at levels low enough to avoid a permanent threshold shift has been found to
cause a massive, delayed degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in mouse …

Conclusion: Noise exposure can cause a decline in cochlear ribbon synapses and result in
consequent hearing loss. The reduction of synaptic puncta appears reversible and may …

Recently, ribbon synapses to the hair cells (HCs) in the cochlea have become a novel site of
interest in the investigation of noise-induced cochlear lesions in adult rodents (Kujawa and …

Previous work in animals with recovered hearing thresholds but permanent inner hair cell
synapse loss after noise have suggested initial vulnerability of low spontaneous rate (SR) …

The synapse between the inner hair cells (IHCs) and the spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in
mammalian cochleae is characterized as having presynaptic ribbons and therefore is called …

Recent work in mouse showed that acoustic overexposure can produce a rapid and
irreversible loss of cochlear nerve peripheral terminals on inner hair cells (IHCs) and a slow …

This study was designed to investigate the effect of various durations of noise exposure in
animals on physiological responses from the cochlea which are also used clinically in …

Recent studies on animal models have shown that noise exposure that does not lead to
permanent threshold shift (PTS) can cause considerable damage around the synapses …

Noise exposure at low levels or low doses can damage hair cell afferent ribbon synapses
without causing permanent threshold shifts. In contrast to reports in the mouse cochleae …

Noise exposure leads to an immediate hearing loss and is followed by a long‐lasting
permanent threshold shift, accompanied by changes of cellular properties within the central …
