There are three times as many outer hair cells (OHC) as inner hair cells (IHC), yet IHC
transmit virtually all acoustic information to the brain as they synapse with 90–95% of type I …

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 …

In rodents, exposure to high-level noise can destroy synapses between inner hair cells and
auditory nerve fibers, without causing hair cell loss or permanent threshold elevation. Such …

Objectives: Young people are often exposed to high music levels which make them more at
risk to develop noise-induced symptoms such as hearing loss, hyperacusis, and tinnitus of …

Objectives: To determine whether auditory brainstem response (ABR) wave I amplitude is
associated with measures of auditory perception in young people with normal distortion …

For successful future therapeutic strategies for tinnitus and hyperacusis, a subcategorization
of both conditions on the basis of differentiated neural correlates would be of invaluable …

Introduction: This clinical focus article describes a structured counseling protocol for use with
protected sound management and therapeutic sound in a transitional intervention for …

Purpose: This report provides the experimental, clinical, theoretical, and historical
background that motivated a patented transitional intervention and its implementation and …

Abstract Objective: This article reviews:(1) the evidence related to enhanced central gain as
a potential mechanism for the generation of tinnitus and hyperacusis,(2) the neuroplastic …

Purpose Tinnitus and hyperacusis are debilitating conditions often associated with age-,
noise-, and drug-induced hearing loss. Because of their subjective nature, the neural …
