Tinnitus, reduced sound-level tolerance, and difficulties hearing in noisy environments are
the most common complaints associated with sensorineural hearing loss in adult …

A broad consensus within the neuroscience of tinnitus holds that this audiologic condition is
triggered by central deafferentation, mostly due to cochlear damage. The absence of …

Ever since Pliny the Elder coined the term tinnitus, the perception of sound in the absence of
an external sound source has remained enigmatic. Traditional theories assume that tinnitus …

In rodents, exposure to high-level noise can destroy synapses between inner hair cells and
auditory nerve fibers, without causing hair cell loss or permanent threshold elevation. Such …

Tinnitus is a phantom sound percept that is strongly associated with peripheral hearing loss.
However, only a fraction of hearing-impaired subjects develops tinnitus. This may be based …

Objectives: To determine whether auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave I amplitude is
associated with measures of auditory perception in young people with normal distortion …

Objective Recently,“hidden hearing loss” with cochlear synaptopathy has been suggested
as a potential pathophysiology of tinnitus in individuals with a normal hearing threshold …

Tinnitus is strongly linked with the presence of damaged hearing. However, it is not known
why tinnitus afflicts only some, and not all, hearing-impaired listeners. One possibility is that …

Chronic tinnitus is a prevalent hearing disorder, and yet no successful treatments or
objective diagnostic tests are currently available. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Hearing loss caused by noise exposure, ototoxic drugs, or aging results from the loss of
sensory cells, as reflected in audiometric threshold elevation. Animal studies show that loss …
