Sensorineural hearing loss induced by noise or ototoxic drug exposure reduces the neural
activity transmitted from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Despite a reduced …

Tinnitus and chronic pain are sensory–perceptual disorders associated with negative affect
and high impact on well-being and behavior. It is now becoming increasingly clear that …

Tinnitus is the conscious perception of a sound without a corresponding external acoustic
stimulus, usually described as a phantom perception. One of the major challenges for …

The aim of the pilot study was to evaluate the effect of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) paired
with sounds in chronic tinnitus patients. All participants were implanted and randomized to a …

The phantom sound of tinnitus is believed to be triggered by aberrant neural activity in the
central auditory pathway, but since this debilitating condition is often associated with …

Several studies suggest hearing impairment as a risk factor for psychosis. Hearing
impairment is highly prevalent and potentially reversible, as it can be easily diagnosed and …

Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of an external acoustic stimulus. Tinnitus
is a common and occasionally debilitating medical condition. With an estimated prevalence …

This contribution focuses on the relationship between stress and tinnitus. While the causal
and directional pathways between these constructs continue to remain unclear, this paper …

Objective: The primary cause of subjective tinnitus is a dysfunction of the auditory system;
however, the degree of distress tinnitus causes depends largely on the psychological status …

This review examines the adverse impacts of different noise exposure paradigms on the
neuroendocrine system, hippocampal and neocortical structures, cognitive performances …
