seen in aging, noise damage, and other types of acquired sensorineural hearing loss …

The eardrums move when the eyes move: A multisensory effect on the mechanics of hearing

KG Gruters, DLK Murphy, CD Jenson… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Interactions between sensory pathways such as the visual and auditory systems are known
to occur in the brain, but where they first occur is uncertain. Here, we show a multimodal …

A Bell, WW Jedrzejczak - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The sensitivity of the auditory system is regulated via two major efferent pathways: the
medial olivocochlear system that connects to the outer hair cells, and by the middle ear …

Medial olivocochlear efferent reflex inhibition of human cochlear nerve responses

JT Lichtenhan, US Wilson, KE Hancock, JJ Guinan Jr - Hearing research, 2016 - Elsevier
Inhibition of cochlear amplifier gain by the medial olivocochlear (MOC) efferent system has

Medial olivocochlear-induced transient-evoked otoacoustic emission amplitude shifts in individual subjects

SS Goodman, IB Mertes, JD Lewis… - Journal of the Association …, 2013 - Springer
Activation of the medial olivocochlear reflex (MOCR) can be assessed indirectly using
