Prolonged or intense exposure to environmental noise (EN) has been associated with a
number of changes in auditory organs as well as other brain structures. Notably, males and …

Noise is an inarticulate stimulus that threatens health and well-being. It compromises
audition and induces a strong stress response that activates the brain at several levels. In …

Background: Chronic exposure to noise induces changes on the central nervous system of
exposed animals. Those changes affect not only the auditory system but also other …

The hippocampus is a brain region crucially involved in regulating stress responses and
highly sensitive to environmental changes, with elevated proliferative and adaptive activity of …

Noise exposure is known to affect auditory structures in living organisms. However, it should
not be ignored that many of the effects of noise are extra-auditory. Previous findings of our …

Objectives: Noise is a potential environmental stressor affecting brain function as evidenced
by altered stress neurotransmitters and hormone levels and psychobehavioral changes …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the most prevalent forms of acquired hearing
loss, and it is associated with aberrant microglial status and reduced hippocampal …

It is well established that hearing loss can lead to widespread plasticity within the central
auditory pathway, which is thought to contribute to the pathophysiology of audiological …

Noise exposure can cause structural and functional problem in the auditory cortex (AC) and
hippocampus, the two brain regions in the auditory and non-auditory systems respectively …

Increasing evidence indicates that chronic exposure to environmental noise may
permanently affect the central nervous system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the long …
