A point process framework for modeling electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Model-based studies of auditory nerve responses to electrical stimulation can provide insight into the functioning of cochlear implants. Ideally, these studies can identify limitations in sound processing strategies and lead to improved methods for providing sound information to cochlear implant users.

The Reliability of Repeated Auditory Threshold Determination [PDF]

open access: bronzeOccupational and Environmental Medicine, 1963
This paper considers the precision which may be expected in short-term serial measurements of audiometric thresholds. Twelve otologically normal young men were tested on four separate occasions at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 0·5, and 1 kc/s. The tests were carried out in a mobile test room installed in a specially constructed vehicle chassis.

Pulsation threshold in the auditory nerve [PDF]

open access: bronzeThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978
Response patterns of single auditory-nerve fibers are compared under two conditions. The first condition is similar to the stimulus condition customarily used to determine pulsation threshold psychophysically. A 100-ms duration signal at a fiber's characteristic frequency (CF) is presented at 10 dB above threshold at a rate of 5/s.

Cochlear Neuropathy and the Coding of Supra-threshold Sound [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014
Many listeners with hearing thresholds within the clinically normal range nonetheless complain of difficulty hearing in everyday settings and understanding speech in noise.

Facilitated auditory detection for speech sounds [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
If it is well known that knowledge facilitates higher cognitive functions, such as visual and auditory word recognition, little is known about the influence of knowledge on detection, particularly in the auditory modality.

Auditory brainstem responses and auditory thresholds in woodpeckers [PDF]

open access: greenThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013
Auditory sensitivity in three species of woodpeckers was estimated using the auditory brainstem response (ABR), a measure of the summed electrical activity of auditory neurons. For all species, the ABR waveform showed at least two, and sometimes three prominent peaks occurring within 10 ms of stimulus onset.

The acute effects of alcohol on auditory thresholds [PDF]

open access: hybridBMC Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders, 2007
There is very little knowledge about alcohol-induced hearing loss. Alcohol consumption and tolerance to loud noise is a well observed phenomenon as seen in the Western world where parties get noisier by the hour as the evening matures. This leads to increase in the referrals to the "hearing aid clinic" and the diagnosis of "cocktail party deafness ...

Multi-neuronal auditory coding for frequency resolution beyond the refractory threshold [PDF]

open access: greenarXiv, 2006
We propose a new mechanism for high-pitch perception by a system of multiple neurons capable of resolving frequencies higher than the frequency associated with the mean refractory period up to a multiple thereof.

Age-related dissociation of sensory and decision-based auditory motion processing [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012
Studies on the maturation of auditory motion processing in children have yielded inconsistent reports. The present study combines subjective and objective measurements to investigate how the auditory perceptual abilities of children change during ...

Stochastic undersampling steepens auditory threshold/duration functions: implications for understanding auditory deafferentation and aging. [PDF]

open access: yesFront Aging Neurosci, 2015
It has long been known that some listeners experience hearing difficulties out of proportion with their audiometric losses. Notably, some older adults as well as auditory neuropathy patients have temporal-processing and speech-in-noise intelligibility ...
