Objective: Short-term noise exposure that induces transient changes in thresholds has
induced permanent cochlear synaptopathy in multiple species. Here, the literature was …

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 …

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

This study tested hypothesized relationships between noise exposure and auditory deficits.
Both retrospective assessment of potential associations between noise exposure history and …

Hearing loss is a significant problem that affects at least 15% of the population. This
percentage, however, is likely significantly higher because of a variety of auditory disorders …

Aging listeners often experience difficulties in perceiving temporally complex acoustic cues
in noisy environments. These difficulties likely have neurophysiological contributors from …

People with normal hearing thresholds can nonetheless have difficulty with understanding
speech in noisy backgrounds. The origins of such supra-threshold hearing deficits remain …

Purpose This review provides clinicians with an overview of recent findings relevant to
understanding why listeners with normal hearing thresholds (NHTs) sometimes suffer from …

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 …

Accumulating evidence suggests that cochlear deafferentation may contribute to
suprathreshold deficits observed with or without elevated hearing thresholds, and can lead …
