RIM-Binding Proteins Are Required for Normal Sound-Encoding at Afferent Inner Hair Cell Synapses
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2021 The afferent synapses between inner hair cells (IHC) and spiral ganglion neurons are specialized to faithfully encode sound with sub-millisecond precision over prolonged periods of time.

Near physiological spectral selectivity of cochlear optogenetics
Nature 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 ...

Behavioural evidence for separate mechanisms of audiovisual temporal binding as a function of leading sensory modality [PDF]
, 2016 The ability to integrate auditory and visual information is critical for effective perception and interaction with the environment, and is thought to be abnormal in some clinical populations.

The relationship of phonological ability, speech perception, and auditory perception in adults with dyslexia [PDF]
, 2014 This study investigated whether auditory, speech perception and phonological skills are tightly interrelated or independently contributing to reading. We assessed each of these three skills in 36 adults with a past diagnosis of dyslexia and 54 matched ...

Auditory Distractors in the Visual Modality: No Evidence for Perceptual Load Hypothesis or Auditory Dominance [PDF]
, 2020 Attention is a valuable resource with limited capacity, so knowing what will distract us during important tasks can be crucial in life. There is a lot of support for the Perceptual Load Hypothesis (PLH) when examining visual distractibility; however,

Brain Stimulation, 2023 Cochlear implants (CIs) restore activity in the deafened auditory system via electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. As the spread of electric current in biological tissues is rather broad, the spectral information provided by electrical CIs is ...

The Impact of Age and Duration of Cochlear Implant in a Congenital Deaf Population: An ERP Study [PDF]
, 2016 Objective: It is well known that patients with Cochlear Implant (CI) have a large inter-individual variability in linguistic and auditory performances. This can be related to individual auditory processing abilities and integrity of auditory system from ...

Towards the optical cochlear implant: optogenetic approaches for hearing restoration
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020 Cochlear implants (CIs) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural hearing loss.

Labyrinthine artery aneurysm as an internal auditory canal mass. [PDF]
, 2014 We present the first case report of a labyrinthine artery aneurysm masquerading as an internal auditory canal tumor. A 72-year-old woman presented with sudden onset right facial paralysis, facial pain, hearing loss, and vertigo.

En route to sound coding strategies for optical cochlear implants
iScience, 2023 Summary: Hearing loss is the most common human sensory deficit. Severe-to-complete sensorineural hearing loss is often treated by electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) bypassing dysfunctional or lost hair cells by direct stimulation of the auditory nerve ...
