It has long been known that age‐related hearing loss (ARHL) is more common, more
severe, and with an earlier onset in men compared to women. Even in the absence of …

Estrogen is the major female hormone involved in reproductive functions, but it also exerts a
variety of additional roles in non-reproductive organs. In this review, we highlight the …

Hearing loss is the most common form of sensory impairment in humans, with an anticipated
rise in incidence as the result of recreational noise exposures. Hearing loss is also the …

Recent studies have identified sex-differences in auditory physiology and in the
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). We hypothesize that 17β-estradiol (E2) …

Objective: Tinnitus is a common otological condition that affects almost 10% of US adults.
Research suggests that college students are vulnerable to tinnitus and hearing loss as they …

Objective The present study compared wave I amplitude of auditory brainstem responses
(ABRs), a potential indicator of cochlear synaptopathy, among musicians and non-musicians …

Objective: Bilateral audiometric notch (BN) at 4000–6000 Hz was identified as a noise-
induced hearing loss (NIHL) phenotype for genetic association analysis in college-aged …

Methods: The study analyzed a database by Phillips et al.(Feasibility of a bilateral 4000–
6000 Hz notch as a phenotype for genetic association analysis. Int J Audiol 2015; 54: 645 …

Sex differences in the development of sensorineural hearing loss have been recognized in
various inner ear disorders, but the molecular basis for such differences is poorly …

Recent animal studies have shown that intense noise exposures that produce robust
temporary threshold shift (TTS) can inflict irreversible damage to the synaptic connections …
