The tympanic covering layer contributes to basilar membrane elasticity potentially influencing human frequency resolution and speech perception

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study we show for the first time that the human basilar membrane contains elastin produced by the so‐called tympanic covering layer. It is believed to play an important functional role in human cochlear tuning, particularly low frequencies linked to our remarkable speech and music perception.

Exploiting dual otoacoustic emission sources [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2015
Two distinct processes generate otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). Reflection-source emissions, here recorded as stimulus frequency OAEs, are optimally informative at low sound levels and are more sensitive to slight hearing loss; they have been linked to cochlear amplifier gain and tuning.

The Auditory Nerve Overlapped Waveform (ANOW) detects small endolymphatic manipulations that may go undetected by conventional measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Electrocochleography (ECochG) has been used to assess Ménière's disease, a pathology associated with endolymphatic hydrops and low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. However, the current ECochG techniques are limited for use at high-frequencies only (≥

Long‐Read Genome Sequencing Establishes Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in DNM1 With Distinct Functional Effects as the Cause of Early Infantile Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 200, Issue 4, Page 947-951, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Heterozygous de novo and inherited biallelic pathogenic variants in DNM1 have been reported in association with autosomal dominant (AD) and autosomal recessive (AR) developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, respectively, due to aberrant dynamin function or expression, with each inheritance pattern associated with a different mechanism of ...

Determination and evaluation of clinically efficient stopping criteria for the multiple auditory steady-state response technique [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Although the auditory steady-state response (ASSR) technique utilizes objective statistical detection algorithms to estimate behavioural hearing thresholds, the audiologist still has to decide when to terminate ASSR recordings introducing ...

Clinical Diagnostics After Failed Hearing Screening in People With Intellectual Disabilities Do Not Often Take Place

open access: yesJournal of Intellectual Disability Research, Volume 70, Issue 4, Page 384-394, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Individuals with intellectual disabilities are at higher risk of undiagnosed or inadequately treated hearing loss. This situation requires easily accessible hearing screening, diagnostics and intervention programmes in the living environment, i.e., in nurseries, schools, workplaces and homes.

Connexin 26 Functions as a Direct Transcriptional Regulator During the Cochlea Development

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 14, 9 March 2026.
Connexin26 can not only form intercellular channels that mediate rapid communication on the cell membrane, but also enter the nucleus as a transcription factor to directly regulate the transcription of nuclear genes. In the developing cochlea, Cx26 can control the maturation of the molecular scissor ADAM10 by regulating the transcription of TspanC8 ...
