Effect of Electromagnetic Fields from Mobile Phones on the Hearing System: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Background and Aims: Mobile phone use has increased in recent years and there is more than 1.6 billion users worldwide. This has increased speculations about the potential dangers of high-frequency Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) on health.

Age-Related Deficits in Electrophysiological and Behavioral Measures of Binaural Temporal Processing
Binaural processing, particularly the processing of interaural phase differences, is important for sound localization and speech understanding in background noise. Age has been shown to impact the neural encoding and perception of these binaural temporal

Presbycusis and tinnitus are the two most common hearing related pathologies. Although both of these conditions presumably originate in the inner ear, there are several reports concerning their central components.

Adenosine and the Auditory System [PDF]
Adenosine is a signalling molecule that modulates cellular activity in the central nervous system and peripheral organs via four G protein-coupled receptors designated A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). This review surveys the literature on the role of adenosine in auditory function, particularly cochlear function and its protection from oxidative stress ...

Dopamine (DA) modulates the activity of nuclei within the ascending and descending auditory pathway. Previous studies have identified neurons and fibers in the inferior colliculus (IC) which are positively labeled for tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a key ...

Before hearing onset (postnatal day 12 in mice), inner hair cells (IHCs) spontaneously fire action potentials, thereby driving pre-sensory activity in the ascending auditory pathway.

Bilirubin and the Auditory System [PDF]
The auditory system is highly sensitive to bilirubin toxicity. Damage to the auditory nervous system includes auditory neuropathy or auditory dyssynchrony and auditory processing problems which may occur with or without deafness, hearing loss. Auditory dysfunction may occur in children with or without other signs of classical kernicterus.

Cochlear Inflammaging in Relation to Ion Channels and Mitochondrial Functions
The slow accumulation of inflammatory biomarker levels in the body—also known as inflammaging—has been linked to a myriad of age-related diseases. Some of these include neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, obesity, type II diabetes ...

The Kinocilia of Cochlear Hair Cells: Structures, Functions, and Diseases
Primary cilia are evolutionarily conserved and highly specialized organelles that protrude from cell membranes. Mutations in genes encoding ciliary proteins can cause structural and functional ciliary defects and consequently multiple diseases ...
