Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the absence of a corresponding external acoustic
stimulus. With prevalence ranging from 10% to 15%, tinnitus is a common disorder. Many …

Sensorineural hearing loss induced by noise or ototoxic drug exposure reduces the neural
activity transmitted from the cochlea to the central auditory system. Despite a reduced …

Tinnitus is an auditory phantom sensation (ringing of the ears) experienced when no
external sound is present. Most but not all cases are associated with hearing loss induced …

The prevalence of hearing problems in the Western world has, due to aging of the
population, doubled over the past 30 years. Thereby, noise-induced hearing loss is an …

The purpose of the current review is to propose a model highlighting the putative
connections between hearing loss and the phantom perception of tinnitus (tinnitus being …

Background: The study of tinnitus mechanisms has increased tenfold in the last decade. The
common denominator for all of these studies is the goal of elucidating the underlying neural …

Tinnitus is a pervasive public health issue that affects∼ 15% of the United States population.
Similar estimates have also been shown on a global scale, with similar prevalence found in …

The study describes a novel method for tinnitus screening in rats by use of gap detection
reflex procedures. The authors hypothesized that if a background acoustic signal was …

Over the past decade, there has been a burgeoning of scientific interest in the
neurobiological origins of tinnitus. During this period, numerous behavioral and …

Chinchillas with psychophysical evidence of chronic tinnitus were shown to have
significantly elevated spontaneous activity and stimulus-evoked responses in putative …
