Abstract Models of the human auditory periphery range from very basic functional
descriptions of auditory filtering to detailed computational models of cochlear mechanics …

Standard audiometric evaluations are not sensitive enough to identify hidden hearing loss
(HHL) and/or cochlear synaptopathy (CS). Patients with either of these conditions frequently …

Perceived hearing difficulty (HD) and/or tinnitus in the presence of normal audiometric
thresholds present a clinical challenge. Yet, there is limited data regarding prevalence and …

Objectives: Recent animal studies suggest that noise-induced synaptopathy may underlie a
phenomenon that has been labeled hidden hearing loss (HHL). Noise exposure …

Exposure to loud sound places the auditory system at considerable risk, especially when the
exposure is routine. The current study examined the impact of routine auditory overexposure …

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) is a sub-cortical evoked potential in which a series
of well-defined waves occur in the first 10 ms after the onset of an auditory stimulus. Wave V …

Objective: Older adults often have trouble adjusting to hearing aids when they start wearing
them for the first time. Probe microphone measurements verify appropriate levels of …

Purpose Human auditory nerve (AN) activity estimated from the amplitude of the first
prominent negative peak (N1) of the compound action potential (CAP) is typically quantified …

Declines in auditory nerve (AN) function contribute to suprathreshold auditory processing
and communication deficits in individuals with normal hearing, hearing loss, hyperacusis …

Age-related hearing decline typically includes threshold shifts as well as reduced wave I
auditory brainstem response (ABR) amplitudes due to cochlear synaptopathy/neuropathy …
