Exposure to prolonged or high intensity noise increases the risk for permanent hearing
impairment. Over several decades, researchers characterized the nature of harmful noise …

Highlights•Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remains a major public health issue.•Studies
in animal models show that both sensory hair cells and cochlear synapses are vulnerable to …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between recreational
sound exposure and potentially undiagnosed or subclinical hearing loss by assessing …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is an ERP component seen in response to unexpected
“novel” stimuli, such as in an auditory oddball task. The MMN is of wide interest and …

Rhesus macaque is an important animal model in biomedical research, especially human
disease, developmental, translational, and pre-clinical research. Blood physiological and …

Exposure to loud noise causes damage to the inner ear, including but not limited to outer
and inner hair cells (OHCs and IHCs) and IHC ribbon synapses. This cochlear damage …

Temporal envelope fluctuations are abundant in nature and are critical for perception of
complex sounds. While psychophysical sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) processing …

Sinusoidal amplitude modulation (SAM) is a key feature of complex sounds. Although
psychophysical studies have characterized SAM perception, and neurophysiological studies …

The issue of low-frequency structural noise radiated from high-speed railway (HSR) box-
girder bridges (BGBs) is a significant challenge worldwide. Although it is known that …

The proportion of box-girder bridges in high-speed railways in China is high. The noise
caused by trains passing a box-girder bridge is more intense than the noise in other sections …
