Mechanistic insight is achieved only when experiments are employed to test formal or
computational models. Furthermore, in analogy to lesion studies, phantom perception may …

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 …

Neural mechanisms that detect changes in the auditory environment appear to rely on
processes that predict sensory state. Here we propose that in tinnitus there is a disparity …

Tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound heard in the absence of physical sound
sources external or internal to the body, reflected in aberrant neural synchrony of …

Increased auditory sensitivity, also called hyperacusis, is a pervasive complaint of people
with tinnitus. The high prevalence of hyperacusis in tinnitus subjects suggests that both …

Purpose Hyperacusis can be extremely debilitating, and at present, there is no cure. In this
detailed review of the field, we consolidate present knowledge in the hope of facilitating …

The pathophysiology underlying tinnitus, a hearing disorder characterized by the chronic
perception of phantom sound, has been related to aberrant plastic reorganization of the …

The understanding of tinnitus has progressed considerably in the past decade, but the
details of the mechanisms that give rise to this phantom perception of sound without a …

Tinnitus, a phantom auditory sensation, is associated with hearing loss in most cases, but it
is unclear if hearing loss causes tinnitus. Phantom auditory sensations can be induced in …

Tinnitus is a percept of sound that is not related to an acoustic source outside the body. For
many forms of tinnitus, mechanisms in the central nervous system are believed to play a role …
