Adaptation by normal listeners to upward spectral shifts of speech: Implications for cochlear implants [PDF]

, 1999
Multi-channel cochlear implants typically present spectral information to the wrong ''place'' in the auditory nerve array, because electrodes can only be inserted partway into the cochlea.

Possibilities of Inner Ear Barrier Models for Otologic Drug Development

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
This review examines innovative organ chip models that reconstruct critical inner ear barriers, addressing a fundamental challenge in otologic drug development: the limited understanding of pharmaceutical behavior across these complex barriers. By replicating these barriers, the advanced models offer promising alternatives to traditional testing ...

Cochlear Implantation: An Overview [PDF]

Journal of Neurological Surgery Part B: Skull Base, 2018
AbstractA cochlear implant (CI) is a surgically implanted device for the treatment of severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss in children and adults. It works by transducing acoustic energy into an electrical signal, which is used to stimulate surviving spiral ganglion cells of the auditory nerve.

LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Comparative Cochlear Transcriptomics in Echolocating Bats and Mouse Reveals Hras as Protector Against Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative cochlear transcriptomics of noise‐exposed bats (Miniopterus fuliginosus) and mice reveals bat‐specific protection mechanisms for noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), identifying Hras as a key hub regulator. Functional studies in mice show hair‐cell‐specific Hras overexpression significantly reduced hair‐cell damage and NIHL by activating the ...

Turn an Ear to Hear: How Hearing-Impaired Listeners Can Exploit Head Orientation to Enhance Their Speech Intelligibility in Noisy Social Settings

Trends in Hearing, 2018
Turning an ear toward the talker can enhance spatial release from masking. Here, with their head free, listeners attended to speech at a gradually diminishing signal-to-noise ratio and with the noise source azimuthally separated from the speech source by
