The application of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) to the round window membrane (RWM)
is an emerging treatment for inner ear diseases. RWM permeability is the key factor for …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) can lead to secondary changes that induce neural
plasticity in the central auditory pathway. These changes include decreases in the number of …

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to sensory hair cells and/or spiral ganglion
neurons. In non-mammalian species, hair cell regeneration after damage is observed, even …

Objective: Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the third most challenging disability in older
adults. Noise is a known modifiable risk factor of ARHL, which can drive adverse health …

Objectives The objectives of the study were to investigate speech in noise perception, gap
detection, and amplitude modulation detection in construction workers exposed to …

Repeated induction of a temporary threshold shift (TTS) may result in a permanent threshold
shift (PTS) and is thought to be associated with early onset of age-related hearing loss …

Objective To examine the association between individual and cumulative leisure noise
exposure in addition to acceptable yearly exposure (AYE) and hearing outcomes among a …

Pure tone audiometry is a routine clinical examination used to identify hearing loss. A
normal pure tone audiogram is usually taken as evidence of normal hearing. Auditory …

The synapses between inner hair cells (IHCs) and spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) are the
most vulnerable structures in the noise-exposed cochlea. Cochlear synaptopathy results …

Noise exposure of a short period at a moderate level can produce permanent cochlear
synaptopathy without seeing lasting changes in audiometric threshold. However, due to the …
