Prediction of Electric Toothbrush Acoustic Comfort Using a Lightweight Dual‐Branch CNN With Psychoacoustic‐Spectral Cross‐Attention Fusion

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
A lightweight dual‐branch neural network with cross‐attention fusion (LDCNN‐CF) integrates Mel‐spectrograms with psychoacoustic parameters to predict electric toothbrush acoustic comfort. The model achieves human‐like accuracy (MAE = 0.82, R2 = 0.84) with only 0.42 M parameters and identifies roughness as the dominant predictor of discomfort.

Gene expression changes for antioxidants pathways in the mouse cochlea: relations to age-related hearing deficits.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Age-related hearing loss - presbycusis - is the number one neurodegenerative disorder and top communication deficit of our aged population. Like many aging disorders of the nervous system, damage from free radicals linked to production of reactive oxygen

Progress On Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Mechanisms and Therapies

Sensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Hearing loss is the most common disabling disease among humans, which adversely affects human health. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) accounting for approximately 63% of all hearing loss cases. SNHL may be classified into age‐related hearing loss (ARHL), drug‐induced hearing loss (DIHL), noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), and sudden ...

Toward a test battery for differential categorization of age-related hearing loss

Journal of Indian Speech Language & Hearing Association, 2014
Age-related hearing loss (ARHL, or presbycusis) results from neural and/or cochlear degeneration. A taxonomy distinguishing presbycusis subtypes according to site of lesion was originally proposed by linking audiometric results to histopathological ...

Bridging the Social Gap Through ‘Conscious Caring’: A Constructivist Grounded Theory of the Art of Caring for Older Adults With Dual Sensory Impairment

Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 6386-6400, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual understanding of the role of caring for older adults with combined vision and hearing impairment (DSI). Background Dual sensory impairment (DSI) impacts both listening and speechreading communication, function and social participation, meaning that older adults often require support and ...

Cholinergic Hypofunction in Presbycusis-Related Tinnitus With Cognitive Function Impairment: Emerging Hypotheses

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Presbycusis (age-related hearing loss) is a potential risk factor for tinnitus and cognitive deterioration, which result in poor life quality. Presbycusis-related tinnitus with cognitive impairment is a common phenotype in the elderly population.

Age-related decrease in the mitochondrial sirtuin deacetylase Sirt3 expression associated with ROS accumulation in the auditory cortex of the mimetic aging rat model.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Age-related dysfunction of the central auditory system, also known as central presbycusis, can affect speech perception and sound localization. Understanding the pathogenesis of central presbycusis will help to develop novel approaches to prevent or ...

Genetics of presbycusis and presbystasis

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2015
Presbycusis and presbystasis represent relevant problems of aging, caused by the increase in life expectancy in developed countries. As such, it is advantageous to better understand the physiopathological mechanisms of these age-related inner ear diseases.

Mechanisms of Sensorineural Cell Damage, Death and Survival in the Cochlea

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2015
The majority of acquired hearing loss, including presbycusis, is caused by irreversible damage to the sensorineural tissues of the cochlea. This article reviews the intracellular mechanisms that contribute to sensorineural damage in the cochlea, as well

Disrupted structural covariance network in presbycusis patients: evidence from a large sample mri-based morphometric study

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
BackgroundPresbycusis is characterized by progressive age-related hearing loss and is often associated with cognitive decline and mental health disorders.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate gray matter volume (GMV) alterations and structural ...
