Exposure to hazardous noise is one of the most common occupational risks, both in the US
and worldwide. Repeated overexposure to noise at or above 85 dBA can cause permanent …

Background Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common forms of sensorineural
hearing loss, is a major health problem, is largely preventable and is probably more …

Diabetes (type 2) and sensorineural hearing loss are common health problems manifested
with ageing. While both type 1 and type 2 diabetes have been associated with hearing loss …

Hearing loss caused by exposure to recreational and occupational noise remains a
worldwide disabling condition and dysregulation of redox homeostasis is the hallmark of …

Sensory hair cells of the inner ear are exposed to continuous mechanical stress, causing
damage over time. The maintenance of hair cells is further challenged by damage from a …

There are three times as many outer hair cells (OHC) as inner hair cells (IHC), yet IHC
transmit virtually all acoustic information to the brain as they synapse with 90–95% of type I …

Recent animal studies have shown that the synapses between inner hair cells and the
dendrites of the spiral ganglion cells they innervate are the elements in the cochlea most …

Exposure to excessive sound causes noise-induced hearing loss through complex
mechanisms and represents a common and unmet neurological condition. We investigate …

Sensory processing, and auditory processing in particular, is altered in individuals with
neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The typical …

Introduction Excessive exposure to noise is a common occurrence that contributes to
approximately 50% of the non-genetic hearing loss cases. Researchers need to develop …
