Hearing is often viewed as a passive process: Sound enters the ear, triggers a cascade of
activity through the auditory system, and culminates in an auditory percept. In contrast to a …

Tinnitus, reduced sound-level tolerance, and difficulties hearing in noisy environments are
the most common complaints associated with sensorineural hearing loss in adult …

Sensory regions of the brain integrate environmental cues with copies of motor-related
signals important for imminent and ongoing movements. In mammals, signals propagating …

Objective. Middle ear myoclonus is a rare condition with distinct characteristics at
presentation. Diagnosis is based primarily on history, clinical examination, and long-time …

Cochlear synaptopathy, ie the loss of auditory-nerve connections with cochlear hair cells, is
seen in aging, noise damage, and other types of acquired sensorineural hearing loss …

The sense of hearing is remarkable for its auditory dynamic range, which spans more than
1012 in acoustic intensity. The mechanisms that enable the cochlea to transduce high sound …

Interactions between sensory pathways such as the visual and auditory systems are known
to occur in the brain, but where they first occur is uncertain. Here, we show a multimodal …

Objective: The goal of the present study was to investigate the clinical utility of
measurements of ear-canal reflectance (ECR) in a population of patients with conductive …

Objectives There is a lack of data on patients' and diagnostic factors for prognostication of
complete recovery in patients with Bell's palsy. Design and setting Cohort register‐based …
