Subjective tinnitus is the conscious perception of sound in the absence of any acoustic
source. The literature suggests various tinnitus mechanisms, most of which invoke changes in …

The prevalence of hearing problems in the Western world has, due to aging of the population,
doubled over the past 30 years. Thereby, noise-induced hearing loss is an important factor …

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is the most prevalent sensory deficit in the elderly and
constitutes the third highest risk factor for dementia. Lifetime noise exposure, genetic …

… the typical pattern of two bands (OPA1 L , OPA1 S ) that were not … L and OPA1 S ) of the
Opa1 enu/+ mutant does not differ from that of wild-type littermates. The proportion of OPA1 L is …

… Cells were grown on coverslips coated with 0.01% poly-l-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich), washed
with PBS, and fixed with ice-cold methanol/acetone for 10 min. After washing with PBS, cells …

The molecular changes following sensory trauma and the subsequent response of the CNS
are poorly understood. We focused on finding a molecular tool for monitoring the features of …

The molecular basis of high versus low frequency hearing loss and the differences in the
sensitivity of outer hair cells depending on their cochlear localization are currently not …

The precision of sound information transmitted to the brain depends on the transfer characteristics
of the inner hair cell (IHC) ribbon synapse and its multiple contacting auditory fibers. …

… In the volunteer group, the primary and secondary AC regions were positively connected
to BA9D-L, while the auditory nuclei, such as the CN, SOC, and MGB, were negatively …
