Hearing research findings in recent years have begun to change how we think about
hearing loss and how we consider the risk of auditory damage from noise exposure. These …

Hearing is the primary sensory modality in bats, but its development is poorly studied. For
newborns, hearing appears essential in maintaining contact with their mothers and to …

Emerging evidence suggests that cochlear synaptopathy is a common feature of
sensorineural hearing loss, but it is not known to what extent electrophysiological metrics …

Hearing loss (HL) is a frequent problem among the elderly and has been studied in many
cohort studies. However, pure tone audiometry—the gold standard—is rather time …

Central gain compensation for reduced auditory nerve output has been hypothesized as a
mechanism for tinnitus with a normal audiogram. Here, we investigate if gain compensation …

Previous work has debated about the comparisons of hearing abilities faced with alterations
in hearing thresholds and evoked potentials between groups following acoustic trauma-or …

Age-related cochlear synaptopathy (CS) has been shown to occur in rodents with minimal
noise exposure, and has been hypothesized to play a crucial role in age-related hearing …

Nitric oxide (NO) activates the NO-sensitive soluble guanylate cyclase (NO-GC, sGC) and
triggers intracellular signaling pathways involving cGMP. For survival of cochlear hair cells …

The disruption of the synaptic connection between the sensory inner hair cells (IHCs) and
the auditory nerve fiber terminals of the type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGN) has been …

Music is among the most important artistic, cultural, and entertainment modalities in any
society. With the proliferation of music genres and the technological advances that allow …
