Background: Although several candidate-gene association studies have been conducted to
investigate noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in humans, most are underpowered …

The discovery of environmentally specific genetic effects is crucial to the understanding of
complex traits, such as susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We describe the …

In the United States, roughly 10% of the population is exposed daily to hazardous levels of
noise in the workplace. Twin studies estimate heritability for noise-induced hearing loss …

Chronic noise exposure is a side-effect of the industrial age and mechanized warfare, and
noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is second only to age-related hearing impairment (ARHI) …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is one of the more common sources of environmentally
induced hearing loss in adults. In a mouse model, Castaneous (CAST/Ei) is an inbred strain …

Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is related to noise exposure and whether humans
suffered from NIHL is also related to different sensitivity to noise. Whole exome sequencing …

Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide, with the majority of preventable
injury attributed to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Highly conserved cochlear genetics …

Background The aim of this study was to screen for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)-
associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to construct genetic risk prediction …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide an unbiased first look at genetic loci
involved in aging and noise-induced sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus. The hearing …

Acoustic overstimulation produces many anatomical, biochemical and physiological
changes in the inner ear. However, the changes in gene expression that underlie these …
