Animal research focused on chronic tinnitus associated with noise-induced hearing loss can
be expensive and time-consuming as a result of the behavioral training required. Although …

Numerous behavioral paradigms have been developed to assess tinnitus-like behavior in
animals. Nevertheless, they are often limited by prolonged training requirements, as well as …

acoustic overexposure. Previous studies in laboratory animals and human subjects …

Background Subjective tinnitus is a hearing disorder in which a person perceives sound
when no external sound is present. It can be acute or chronic. Because our current …

The etiology of tinnitus is known to be diverse in the human population. An appropriate
animal model of tinnitus should incorporate this pathological diversity. Previous studies …

This study describes two experiments that were conducted in search for a behavioral
paradigm to test for tinnitus in guinea pigs. Conditioning paradigms are available to …

Tinnitus is a maladaptive neuropathic condition that develops in humans and laboratory
animals following auditory insult. In our previous study we demonstrated that sound …
