The etiology of tinnitus is known to be diverse in the human population. An appropriate
animal model of tinnitus should incorporate this pathological diversity. Previous studies …

Chronic tinnitus, or “ringing of the ears”, affects upwards of 15% of the adult population.
Identifying a cost-effective and objective measure of tinnitus is needed due to legal concerns …

Animal models of tinnitus allow us to study the relationship between changes in neural
activity and the tinnitus percept. Here, guinea pigs were subjected to unilateral noise trauma …

Tinnitus is often identified in animal models by using the gap prepulse inhibition of acoustic
startle. Impaired gap detection following acoustic over-exposure (AOE) is thought to be …

Tinnitus, the perception of a sound without an external acoustic source, is a complex
perceptual phenomenon affecting the quality of life in 17% of the adult population. Despite …

Numerous behavioral paradigms have been developed to assess tinnitus-like behavior in
animals. Nevertheless, they are often limited by prolonged training requirements, as well as …

Animal models of tinnitus are essential for determining the underlying mechanisms and
testing pharmacotherapies. However, there is doubt over the validity of current behavioural …

Animal research focused on chronic tinnitus associated with noise-induced hearing loss can
be expensive and time-consuming as a result of the behavioral training required. Although …

Tinnitus, a ringing in the ear or head without an external sound source, is a prevalent health
problem. It is often associated with a number of limbic-associated disorders such as anxiety …

Many human subjects suffering from chronic tinnitus also suffer from hyperacusis, a
heightened perception of loudness at moderate to intense sound levels. While numerous …
