Hearing loss affects approximately 18% of the population worldwide. Hearing difficulties in
noisy environments without accompanying audiometric threshold shifts likely affect an even …

Cochlear synaptopathy, a form of cochlear deafferentation, has been demonstrated in a
number of animal species, including non-human primates. Both age and noise exposure …

In mammalian hearing, type-I afferent auditory nerve fibers comprise the basis of the afferent
auditory pathway. They are connected to inner hair cells of the cochlea via specialized …

The past decade has seen a wealth of research dedicated to determining which and how
morphological changes in the auditory periphery contribute to people experiencing hearing …

Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of age-related
changes in extended high-frequency (EHF) hearing, peripheral neural function, working …

Auditory nerve (AN) function has been hypothesized to deteriorate with age and noise
exposure. Here, we perform a systematic review of published studies and find that the …

Previous studies have shown that in challenging listening situations, people find it hard to
equally divide their attention between two simultaneous talkers and tend to favor one talker …

Objectives: Asymmetric or unilateral hearing loss (AHL) may cause irreversible changes in
the processing of acoustic signals in the auditory system. We aim to provide a …

Introduction. Electrically evoked cortical auditory evoked potentials (ECAEPs) are central
brain responses to auditory stimuli that correlate with post-operative cochlear implant (CI) …
