Subjective tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound in the absence of any acoustic
source. The literature suggests various tinnitus mechanisms, most of which invoke changes …

A phenomenon called vestibular compensation occurs after peripheral vestibular loss. This
process involves a mosaic of profound structural rearrangements within the vestibular …

Neuronal hyperexcitability in the central auditory pathway linked to reduced inhibitory
activity is associated with numerous forms of hearing loss, including noise damage, age …

Acute peripheral vestibulopathy leads to a cascade of symptoms involving balance and gait
disorders that are particularly disabling for vestibular patients. Vestibular rehabilitation …

Homeostatic plasticity, the ability of neurons to maintain their averaged activity constant
around a set point value, is thought to account for the central hyperactivity after hearing loss …

We previously revealed adult reactive neurogenesis in deafferented vestibular nuclei
following unilateral vestibular neurectomy (UVN) in the feline model. We recently replicated …

Unilateral vestibular lesions induce a vestibular syndrome, which recovers over time due to
vestibular compensation. The therapeutic effect of L-Thyroxine (L-T4) on vestibular …

Background Due to their anti-inflammatory action, corticosteroids are the reference treatment
for brain injuries and many inflammatory diseases. However, the benefits of acute …

Harmful environmental sounds are a prevailing source of chronic hearing impairments,
including noise induced hearing loss, hyperacusis, or tinnitus. How these symptoms are …

In the auditory modality, noise trauma has often been used to investigate cortical plasticity as
it causes cochlear hearing loss. One limitation of these past studies, however, is that the …
