Effects of contextual cues on speech recognition in simulated electric-acoustic stimulation.

open access: yesJournal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015
Low-frequency acoustic cues have shown to improve speech perception in cochlear-implant listeners. However, the mechanisms underlying this benefit are still not well understood.

Screening of Connexin 26 in Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss

open access: yesInternational Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
Introduction The first locus for nonsyndromic autosomal recessive hearing loss is on chromosome 13q11–22. The 35delG mutation is present in 80% of cases in which GJB2 is involved, which makes the study of this mutation very important.

Direct Intracochlear Acoustic Stimulation Using a PZT Microactuator

open access: yesTrends in Hearing, 2015
Combined electric and acoustic stimulation has proven to be an effective strategy to improve hearing in some cochlear implant users. We describe an acoustic microactuator to directly deliver stimuli to the perilymph in the scala tympani.

Emerging Therapeutic Strategies for Hearing Loss

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Challenges still exist in treating hearing loss in cases of severe damage to hair cells or spiral ganglion neurons. Here, a schematic diagram of cochlear sensory hair cells and auditory nerves is presented. It is found that in normal Corti organs, hair cells have upright stereocilia at the top and auditory neurons at the base. Ototoxic drugs, noise, or

Near physiological spectral selectivity of cochlear optogenetics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Cochlear implant spectral resolution is limited by current spread from each stimulation electrode. Here the authors compare optogenetic, electric and acoustic stimulation in gerbils and demonstrate improved spectral resolution of optogenetic over ...

Tinnitus and normal hearing: a study on the transient otoacoustic emissions suppression Zumbido e audição normal: estudo da supressão das emissões otoacústicas transientes

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2009
The workings of the auditory pathway of patients with tinnitus and normal hearing can be associated with an auditory efferent pathway dysfunction at the level of the superior olivary complex.
