Tinnitus is a phantom auditory sensation that reduces quality of life for millions of people
worldwide, and for which there is no medical cure. Most cases of tinnitus are associated with …

Many, or most, tinnitus models rely on increased central gain in the auditory pathway as all
or part of the explanation, in that central auditory neurones deprived of their usual sensory …

Damage to auditory nerve fibers that expresses with suprathreshold sounds but is hidden
from the audiogram has been proposed to underlie deficits in temporal coding ability …

Sound therapies are a common component of treatments for tinnitus and hyperacusis. The
original idea was to partially or completely mask tinnitus with broadband noise delivered by …

Tinnitus describes the subjective perception of a sound despite the absence of external
stimulation. Being a sensory symptom the majority of studies focusses on the auditory …

Neurons in various sensory systems show some level of spontaneous firing in the absence
of sensory stimuli. In the auditory system spontaneous firing has been shown at all levels of …

Importance Critical to the success of many medical therapeutics is a consideration of the
brain's miraculous ability to dynamically rewire itself anatomically and neurochemically on …

Tinnitus is the perception of a sound that has no external source. Sound stimuli can
suppress spontaneous firing in auditory neurons long after stimulus offset. It is unknown how …

Tinnitus has been widely investigated in order to draw conclusions about the underlying
causes and altered neural activity in various brain regions. Existing studies have based their …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to identify the effects of auditory deprivation (age-
related hearing loss) and auditory stimulation (history of hearing aid use) on the neural …
