Graded optogenetic activation of the auditory pathway for hearing restoration

open access: yesBrain Stimulation, 2023
Optogenetic control of neural activity enables innovative approaches to improve functional restoration of diseased sensory and motor systems. For clinical translation to succeed, optogenetic stimulation needs to closely match the coding properties of the

Is there an unmet medical need for improved hearing restoration?

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2022
Hearing impairment, the most prevalent sensory deficit, affects more than 466 million people worldwide (WHO). We presently lack causative treatment for the most common form, sensorineural hearing impairment; hearing aids and cochlear implants (CI) remain

Relationships Between Health-Related Quality of Life and Speech Perception in Bimodal and Bilateral Cochlear Implant Users

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
PurposePrevious studies examining the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and speech perception ability in cochlear implant (CI) users have yielded variable results, due to a range of factors, such as a variety of different HRQoL ...

Sensitivity to haptic sound-localisation cues

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Hearing aid and cochlear implant (CI) users often struggle to locate and segregate sounds. The dominant sound-localisation cues are time and intensity differences across the ears.

Improving speech perception for hearing-impaired listeners using audio-to-tactile sensory substitution with multiple frequency channels

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Cochlear implants (CIs) have revolutionised treatment of hearing loss, but large populations globally cannot access them either because of disorders that prevent implantation or because they are expensive and require specialist surgery. Recent technology

Musical experience strengthens the neural representation of sounds important for communication in middle-aged adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2012
Older adults frequently complain that while they can hear a person talking, they cannot understand what is being said; this difficulty is exacerbated by background noise. Peripheral hearing loss cannot fully account for this age-related decline in speech-

Auditory Attention [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
The modern world is noisy. Streets are cacophonies of traffic noise; homes and workplaces are replete with bleeping timers, announcements, and alarms. Everywhere there is the sound of human speech—from the casual chatter of strangers and the unwanted intrusion from electronic devices through to the conversations with friends and loved ones one may ...

The auditory cortex [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2007
Recognizing other people, animals or objects by the sound they make is something that most of us take for granted. In fact, this ability relies on a series of rich and complex processes that begin when sounds are transduced into electrical signals by the exquisitely sensitive hair cell receptors that lie inside the cochlea of the inner ear.
