Objectives: Recent animal studies suggest that noise-induced synaptopathy may underlie a
phenomenon that has been labeled hidden hearing loss (HHL). Noise exposure …

Recent physiological studies in several rodent species have revealed that permanent
damage can occur to the auditory system after exposure to a noise that produces only a …

Objectives: Recent animal studies have shown that noise exposure can cause cochlear
synaptopathy without permanent threshold shift. Because the noise exposure preferentially …

Dramatic results from recent animal experiments show that noise exposure can cause a
selective loss of high-threshold auditory nerve fibers without affecting absolute sensitivity …

Recent work suggests that hair cells are not the most vulnerable elements in the inner ear;
rather, it is the synapses between hair cells and cochlear nerve terminals that degenerate …

Objectives: Recent studies in animals indicate that even moderate levels of exposure to
noise can damage synaptic ribbons between the inner hair cells and auditory nerve fibers …

Animal studies demonstrate that noise exposure can permanently damage the synapses
between inner hair cells and auditory nerve fibers, even when outer hair cells are intact and …

Noise-induced hidden hearing loss (NIHHL) has attracted great attention in hearing
research and clinical audiology since the discovery of significant noise-induced synaptic …

Objectives Hearing-in-noise (HIN) is a primary complaint of both the hearing impaired and
the hearing aid user. Both auditory nerve (AN) function and outer hair cell (OHC) function …

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 …
