Numerical investigation of the basilar membrane vibration induced by the unsteady fluid flow in the human inner ear [PDF]
For a deeper understanding of the inner ear dynamics, a Finite-Element model of the human cochlea is developed. To describe the unsteady, viscous creeping flow of the liquid, a pressure-displacement-based Finite-Element formulation is used.

Galvanic vestibular stimulation produces cross-modal improvements in visual thresholds [PDF]
Background: Stochastic resonance (SR) refers to a faint signal being enhanced with the addition of white noise. Previous studies have found that vestibular perceptual thresholds are lowered with noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (i.e., "in-channel" SR).

Application Progress of Objective Audiological Detection Techniques in Forensic Clinical Medicine [PDF]
The qualitative, quantitative, and localization analysis of hearing loss is one of the important contents of forensic clinical research and identification. Pure-tone audiometry is the “gold standard” for hearing loss assessment, but it is affected by the

Auditory Neural Response Inspired Sound Event Detection Based on Spectro-temporal Receptive Field [PDF]
Sound event detection (SED) is one of tasks to automate function by human auditory system which listens and understands auditory scenes. Therefore, we were inspired to make SED recognize sound events in the way human auditory system does. Spectro-temporal receptive field (STRF), an approach to describe the relationship between perceived sound at ear ...

The Reliability of Repeated Auditory Threshold Determination [PDF]
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.

Neural oscillations in the gamma range are the dominant rhythmic activation pattern in the human auditory cortex. These gamma oscillations are functionally relevant for the processing of rapidly changing acoustic information in both speech and non-speech

The classic view of sensorineural hearing loss has been that the primary damage targets are hair cells and that auditory nerve loss is typically secondary to hair cell degeneration. Recent work has challenged that view.

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

Benchmarking real-time algorithms for in-phase auditory stimulation of low amplitude slow waves with wearable EEG devices during sleep [PDF]
Auditory stimulation of EEG slow waves (SW) during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep has shown to improve cognitive function when it is delivered at the up-phase of SW. SW enhancement is particularly desirable in subjects with low-amplitude SW such as older adults or patients suffering from neurodegeneration such as Parkinson disease (PD).

Neural oscillations associated with auditory duration maintenance in working memory
The neural representation of auditory duration remains unknown. Here, we used electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings to investigate neural oscillations during the maintenance of auditory duration in working memory (WM).
