Auditory-Somatosensory Interactions in Speech Perception in Individuals With Hearing Impairment: An Exploratory Case Study. [PDF]
International audienceObjectives: Individuals with hearing impairment can perceive speech sounds with the help of cochlear implants or hearing aids. Recent studies have shown that orofacial somatosensory inputs may modify speech perception.

Degeneration of saccular hair cells caused by MITF gene mutation
Background Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is the consequence of an inherited autosomal dominant mutation which causes the early degeneration of intermediate cells of cochlear stria vascularis (SV) and profound hearing loss.

Key Genes and Pathways Associated With Inner Ear Malformation in SOX10 p.R109W Mutation Pigs
SRY-box 10 (SOX10) mutation may lead to inner ear deformities. However, its molecular mechanisms on inner ear development are not clear. In this work, the inner ear morphology was investigated at different embryonic stages of the SOX10 mutation miniature

A hypothesis study on bionic active noise reduction of auditory organs
Background Noise exposure can lead to hearing loss and multiple system dysfunctions. As various forms of noise exist in our living environments, and our auditory organs are very sensitive to acoustic stimuli, it is a challenge to protect our hearing ...

Gender-specific associations of vision and hearing impairments with adverse health outcomes in older Japanese: a population-based cohort study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Several epidemiological studies have shown that self-reported vision and hearing impairments are associated with adverse health outcomes (AHOs) in older populations; however, few studies have used objective sensory measurements or ...

Cochlear morphology in the developing inner ear of the porcine model of spontaneous deafness
Background Auditory function and cochlear morphology have previously been described in a porcine model with spontaneous WS2-like phenotype. In the present study, cochlear histopathology was further investigated in the inner ear of the developing ...
