Hyperacusis: Loudness intolerance, fear, annoyance and pain
Hyperacusis is a debilitating loudness intolerance disorder that can evoke annoyance, fear
and aural facial pain. Although the auditory system seems to be the “central” player …

[HTML][HTML] The hunt for hidden hearing loss in humans: From preclinical studies to effective interventions
Many individuals experience hearing problems that are hidden under a normal audiogram.
This not only impacts on individual sufferers, but also on clinicians who can offer little in the …

Pump up the volume: could excessive neural gain explain tinnitus and hyperacusis?
Naturally occurring stimuli can vary over several orders of magnitude and may exceed the
dynamic range of sensory neurons. As a result, sensory systems adapt their sensitivity by …

Plasticity and modified loudness following short-term unilateral deprivation: evidence of multiple gain mechanisms within the auditory system
KJ Munro, C Turtle, R Schaette - The Journal of the Acoustical Society …, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
Auditory deprivation and stimulation can change the threshold of the acoustic middle ear
reflex as well as loudness in adult listeners. However, it has remained unclear whether …

Increased auditory cortex neural response amplitude in adults with chronic unilateral conductive hearing impairment
Animal studies have demonstrated that unilateral hearing loss can induce changes in neural
response amplitude of the mature central auditory system (CAS). However, there is limited …

Acoustic deprivation modulates central gain in human auditory brainstem and cortex
Beyond reduced audibility, there is convincing evidence that the auditory system adapts
according to the principles of homeostatic plasticity in response to a hearing loss. Such …

Loudness modulation after transient and permanent hearing loss: implications for tinnitus and hyperacusis
P Fournier, M Schönwiesner, S Hébert - Neuroscience, 2014 - Elsevier
Loudness is the primary perceptual correlate of sound intensity. The relationship between
sound intensity and loudness is not fixed, and can be modified by short-term sound …

Using acoustic reflex threshold, auditory brainstem response and loudness judgments to investigate changes in neural gain following acute unilateral deprivation in …
Unilateral auditory deprivation induces a reduction in the acoustic reflex threshold (ART)
and an increase in loudness. These findings have been interpreted as a compensatory …
