Stochastic resonance (SR) has been proposed to play a major role in auditory perception,
and to maintain optimal information transmission from the cochlea to the auditory system. By …

Subjective tinnitus is generally assumed to be a consequence of hearing loss. In animal
studies it has been demonstrated that acoustic trauma induced cochlear damage can lead to …

Recently, it was proposed that a processing principle called adaptive stochastic resonance
plays a major role in the auditory system, and serves to maintain optimal sensitivity even to …

It has been demonstrated that, while otherwise detrimental, noise can improve sensory
perception under optimal conditions. The mechanism underlying this improvement is …

Recently, we proposed a model of tinnitus development based on a physiological
mechanism of permanent optimization of information transfer from the auditory periphery to …

The purpose of the current review is to propose a model highlighting the putative
connections between hearing loss and the phantom perception of tinnitus (tinnitus being …

Various theories and their associated mechanisms have been proposed as the neural basis
of phantom sound perception (tinnitus), including central gain enhancement and altered …

Phenomena resembling tinnitus and Zwicker phantom tone are seen to result from an
auditory gain adaptation mechanism that attempts to make full use of a fixed-capacity …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom percept without external sound sources. Despite the high
prevalence and tinnitus-associated distress of affected patients, the pathophysiology of …
