Comment on 'A Wave Traveling over a Hopf Instability Shapes the Cochlear Tuning Curve' [PDF]
Since the seminal work by H.L.F. Helmholtz in 1863, to understand the basic principles of hearing has been a great, but still unresolved, challenge for physicists. Some time ago, it has been pointed out (Egu\'{\i}luz et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5232, 2000) that the generic mathematical properties of nonlinear oscillators undergoing a Hopf bifurcation ...

Dynamic Processing Neural Network Architecture For Hearing Loss Compensation [PDF]
This paper proposes neural networks for compensating sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of the hearing loss compensation task is to transform a speech signal to increase speech intelligibility after further processing by a person with a hearing impairment, which is modeled by a hearing loss model.

Defective Tmprss3-Associated Hair Cell Degeneration in Inner Ear Organoids [PDF]
Mutations in the gene encoding the type II transmembrane protease 3 (TMPRSS3) cause human hearing loss, although the underlying mechanisms that result in TMPRSS3-related hearing loss are still unclear.

A transient memory lapse in humans 1–3 h after training
In many non-human species, learning retention decreases temporarily following training. This has led to the suggestion that these lapses reflect a fundamental component of memory formation.

Non-uniform FIR Digital Filter Bank for Hearing Aid Application Using Frequency Response Masking Technique: A Review [PDF]
Hearing aid is an electroacoustic device used to selectively amplify the audio sounds with an aim to make speech more intelligible for a hearing impaired person. Filter bank is one of the important parts of digital hearing aid where the sub band gains of each filter can be tuned to compensate an individuals unique hearing loss pattern.
