Hearing through your eyes: neural basis of audiovisual cross-activation, revealed by transcranial alternating current stimulation [PDF]
Some people experience auditory sensations when seeing visual flashes or movements. This prevalent synaesthesia-like ‘visual-evoked auditory response’ (vEAR) could result either from over-exuberant cross-activation between brain areas, and/or reduced ...

Monitoring alpha oscillations and pupil dilation across the performance-intensity function
Listening to degraded speech can be challenging and requires a continuous investment of cognitive resources, which is more challenging for those with hearing loss.

Application of Big Data to Support Evidence-Based Public Health Policy Decision-Making for Hearing [PDF]
Ideally, public health policies are formulated from scientific data; however, policy-specific data are often unavailable. Big data can generate ecologically-valid, high-quality scientific evidence, and therefore has the potential to change how public ...

The dissection of the Drosophila auditory system has revealed multiple parallels between fly and vertebrate hearing. Recent studies have analyzed the operation of auditory sensory cells and the processing of sound in the fly's brain. Neuronal responses to sound have been characterized, and novel classes of auditory neurons have been defined; transient ...

Spatial Hearing and Hearing Aids [PDF]
The questions of whether hearing-impaired listeners are also impaired for the localization of sounds and what benefits hearing aids can provide are important for understanding the wider effects of hearing impairment. We review here 29 studies published since 1983 that have measured acuity for changes in the horizontal-plane direction of sound sources ...

Short, impulse-like sounds such as slamming of a door or rattle of dishes can be uncomfortable for hearing aid users. Therefore, many hearing aids provide impulse (or transient) noise reduction (INR) that should reduce loud and short sounds without ...

Aging, Cognitive Decline and Hearing Loss: Effects of Auditory Rehabilitation and Training with Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants on Cognitive Function and Depression among Older Adults [PDF]
A growing interest in cognitive effects associated with speech and hearing processes is spreading throughout the scientific community essentially guided by evidence that central and peripheral hearing loss is associated with cognitive decline.

Changes in the response properties of inferior colliculus neurons relating to tinnitus
Tinnitus is often identified in animal models by using the gap prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle (GPIAS). Impaired gap detection following acoustic over-exposure (AOE) is thought to be caused by tinnitus ‘filling in’ the gap, thus reducing its ...

The main aim of this study was to assess the clinical effect of steroids (dexamethasone and prednisone) on hearing preservation in patients who underwent cochlear implantation with different cochlear implant systems (Oticon®, Advanced Bionics®, Med-El®).
