hearing loss, after age-related hearing loss, and affects approximately 5% of the world's …

Background Noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common forms of sensorineural
hearing loss, is a major health problem, is largely preventable and is probably more …

In recent years, sensory neuroscientists have made major efforts to dissect the structure and
function of ribbon synapses which process sensory information in the eye and ear. This …

Myelinating oligodendrocytes enable fast propagation of action potentials along the
ensheathed axons. In addition, oligodendrocytes play diverse non-canonical roles including …

Hearing loss caused by exposure to recreational and occupational noise remains a
worldwide disabling condition and dysregulation of redox homeostasis is the hallmark of …

Our sense of hearing enables the processing of stimuli that differ in sound pressure by more
than six orders of magnitude. How to process a wide range of stimulus intensities with …

Cochlear implantation has become the standard‐of‐care for adults and children with severe
to profound hearing loss. There is growing evidence that qualitative as well as quantitative …

For decades, we have presumed the death of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons are the
main cause of hearing loss and difficulties understanding speech in noise, but new findings …

Impairments of vision and hearing are highly prevalent conditions limiting the quality of life
and presenting a major socioeconomic burden. For a long time, retinal and cochlear …
