Experience of tinnitus in adults who have severe-to-profound hearing loss: A scoping review [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 BackgroundTinnitus is defined as the subjective perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus, and tinnitus disorder becomes relevant when it is associated with emotional distress, cognitive dysfunction, and/or autonomic arousal.

Review of Whole Head Experimental Cochlear Promontory Vibration with Bone Conduction Stimulation and Investigation of Experimental Setup Effects. [PDF]
Trends Hear, 2021 Bone conduction sound transmission in humans has been extensively studied using cochlear promontory vibrations. These studies use vibration data collected from measurements in live humans, whole cadavers, and severed cadaver heads, with stimulation applied either at an implant in the skull bone or directly on the skin. Experimental protocols, methods,

Safe electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve at the promontory during functional magnetic resonance imaging [PDF]
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 1999 The purpose of this study was to evaluate possibilities and technical risks for combining intended electrical stimulation of the cochlear nerve and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Theoretical considerations and experiments indicate that fMRI can be performed safely during electrical stimulation.

Intracranial Pressure and Promontory Vibration With Soft Tissue Stimulation in Cadaveric Human Whole Heads [PDF]
Otology & Neurotology, 2016 Intracranial pressure and skull vibrations are correlated and depend on the stimulation position and frequency.A hearing sensation can be elicited by vibratory stimulation on the skin covered skull, or by stimulation on soft tissue such as the neck. It is not fully understood whether different stimulation sites induce the skull vibrations responsible ...
