Subjective tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound in the absence of any acoustic
source. The literature suggests various tinnitus mechanisms, most of which invoke changes …

Tinnitus is a phantom auditory sensation in the absence of external sounds, while
hyperacusis is an atypical sensitivity to external sounds that leads them to be perceived as …

Tinnitus is a heritable, highly prevalent auditory disorder treated by multiple medical
specialties. Previous GWAS indicated high genetic correlations between tinnitus and …

The frequency-following response (FFR) to periodic complex sounds has gained recent
interest in auditory cognitive neuroscience as it captures with great fidelity the tracking …

Hyperacusis is a debilitating loudness intolerance disorder that can evoke annoyance, fear
and aural facial pain. Although the auditory system seems to be the “central” player …

Neural plasticity due to hearing loss results in tonotopic map changes. Several studies have
suggested a relation between hearing loss-induced tonotopic reorganization and tinnitus …

Auditory phantom percepts such as tinnitus are associated with auditory deafferentation. The
idea is that auditory deafferentation limits the amount of information the brain can acquire to …

Neuronal hyperexcitability in the central auditory pathway linked to reduced inhibitory
activity is associated with numerous forms of hearing loss, including noise damage, age …

For successful future therapeutic strategies for tinnitus and hyperacusis, a subcategorization
of both conditions on the basis of differentiated neural correlates would be of invaluable …

Noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy (CS) is defined as a permanent loss of synapses in
the auditory nerve pathway following noise exposure. Several studies using auditory …
