Noise induced synaptopathy (NIS) and hidden hearing loss (NIHHL) have been hot topic in
hearing research since a massive synaptic loss was identified in CBA mice after a brief …

Some noise exposures resulting in temporary threshold shift (TTS) result in cochlear
synaptopathy. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate a human population …

The auditory sensory organs appear to be less damaged by exposure to high-level noise
that is presented after exposure to non-traumatizing low-level noise. This phenomenon is …

Cochlear implantation (CI) is now widely used to provide auditory rehabilitation to
individuals having severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). However, CI can …

Hidden hearing loss (HHL), an auditory dysfunction that has gained much recent attention,
has the hallmarks of speech discrimination and intelligibility deficits with normal or near …

Noise induced synaptopathy (NIS) has been researched extensively since a large amount of
synaptic loss without permanent threshold shift (PTS) was found in CBA mice after a brief …

A single brief noise exposure can cause a significant loss of cochlear afferent synapses
without causing permanent threshold shift. Previously we reported that the initial synaptic …

Objectives: Noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy is studied extensively in animal models.
The diagnosis of synaptopathy in humans is challenging and the roles of many noninvasive …

Purpose. Slc26a4-/-mice exhibit severer defects in the development of the cochlea and
develop deafness, while the underlying mechanisms responsible for these effects remain …

Objectives: Adverse effects of noise exposure on hearing and cognition are well
documented in the literature. Recently, it has becoming increasingly evident that noise …
