Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) at speech frequencies is a critical occupational health issue, impairing communication, reducing quality of life, and contributing to social isolation, depression, an
In order to characterize the response to noise of various cell types in the inner ear, the cochleae from wild-type mice, naive or subjected to a 2h, 105 dB SPL noise insult, were dissected out. To fur
The goal was to develop a new set of male and female sentence materials in the Dutch language suitable for use in assessments of speech intelligibility in noise in children. A subset of the LIST sente
Sampling distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) at multiple f2/f1 ratios and f2 frequency values produces a DPOAE “map.” This study examined the efficacy of DPOAE mapping compared with pure
Hearing functions through the mechanical transduction of inner ear sensory cells, hair cells, and their connections to the auditory neurons, which convert the stimuli into electrical signals to be det
