Sensorineural hearing loss induced by noise or ototoxic drug exposure reduces the neural
activity transmitted from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Despite a reduced …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

The prevalence of hearing problems in the Western world has, due to aging of the
population, doubled over the past 30 years. Thereby, noise-induced hearing loss is an …

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 …

Background: The study of tinnitus mechanisms has increased tenfold in the last decade. The
common denominator for all of these studies is the goal of elucidating the underlying neural …

Changes in spontaneous activity, recorded over 15-min periods before, immediately after
and within hours after an acute acoustic trauma, were studied in primary auditory cortex of …

Subjective tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound in the absence of any acoustic
source. The literature suggests various tinnitus mechanisms, most of which invoke changes …

Tinnitus and oversensitivity to sound are common and hitherto incurable, distressing
conditions that affect a substantial number of the population. Pawel Jastreboff's discovery of …

Aging and acoustic trauma may result in partial peripheral deafferentation in the central
auditory pathway of the mammalian brain. In accord with homeostatic plasticity, loss of …

Tinnitus is a pervasive public health issue that affects∼ 15% of the United States population.
Similar estimates have also been shown on a global scale, with similar prevalence found in …
