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 …

Tinnitus, sound perception in the absence of physical stimuli, occurs in 15% of the

The dorsal cochlear nucleus is the first site of multisensory convergence in mammalian
auditory pathways. Principal output neurons, the fusiform cells, integrate auditory nerve …

Many, or most, tinnitus models rely on increased central gain in the auditory pathway as all
or part of the explanation, in that central auditory neurones deprived of their usual sensory …

Hearing loss is a major risk factor for tinnitus, hyperacusis, and central auditory processing
disorder. Although recent studies indicate that hearing loss causes neuroinflammation in the …

Tinnitus is a highly prevalent condition that is associated with hearing loss in most cases. In
the absence of external stimuli, phantom perceptions of sounds emerge from alterations in …

Neurons in sensory cortex exhibit a remarkable capacity to maintain stable firing rates
despite large fluctuations in afferent activity levels. However, sudden peripheral …

Damage to auditory nerve fibers that expresses with suprathreshold sounds but is hidden
