Various theories and their associated mechanisms have been proposed as the neural basis
of phantom sound perception (tinnitus), including central gain enhancement and altered …

Tinnitus is a subjective perception of phantom sound that currently cannot be objectively
measured. However, there is growing evidence suggesting that the biological source of …

The neuroscience of tinnitus represents an ideal model to explore central issues in brain
functioning such as the formation of auditory percepts, in addition to opening up new …

Tinnitus is the sound heard in the absence of physical sound sources external or internal to
the body. Tinnitus never occurs in isolation; it typically develops after hearing loss, and not …

Research over the past decade has provided new insights into the neural mechanisms likely
to produce the false percepts of sound associated with tinnitus. These insights have …

Tinnitus, the phantom perception of sound, is physiologically characterized by an increase in
spontaneous neural activity in the central auditory system. However, as tinnitus is often …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

Background: The study of tinnitus mechanisms has increased tenfold in the last decade. The
common denominator for all of these studies is the goal of elucidating the underlying neural …

Over the past decade, there has been a burgeoning of scientific interest in the
neurobiological origins of tinnitus. During this period, numerous behavioral and …

The phantom auditory sensation of tinnitus is now studied in humans, animals, and
computer models, and our understanding of how tinnitus is triggered and which neural …
