Speech-in-noise discriminability after noise exposure: Insights from a gerbil model of acoustic trauma Open
Speech comprehension, especially in the presence of background sounds, allegedly declines as a consequence of noise-induced hearing loss. However, the connection between noise overexposure and deteriorated speech-in-noise perception despit…

Degeneration of the stria vascularis in quiet-aged gerbils: Linking structural, cellular and molecular changes to cochlear function Open
Presbycusis, or age-related hearing loss, is a prevalent condition characterized by progressive auditory decline, significantly impacting quality of life in older adults. While sensorineural damage has been widely studied, degeneration of …

The Effects of Strial and Synaptic Degeneration on Age-Related Hearing Loss Using the Mongolian Gerbil as a Model Open
Age-related hearing loss, also known as presbycusis, is a complex condition affecting many people, with its underlying causes involving various parts of the hearing system. This research investigated how two specific changes inside the inn…

The Stria Vascularis: Renewed Attention on a Key Player in Age-Related Hearing Loss Open
Age-related hearing loss (HL), or presbycusis, is a complex and heterogeneous condition, affecting a significant portion of older adults and involving various interacting mechanisms. Metabolic presbycusis, a type of age-related HL, is char…

Cochlear Ribbon Synapses in Aged Gerbils Open
In mammalian hearing, type-I afferent auditory nerve fibers comprise the basis of the afferent auditory pathway. They are connected to inner hair cells of the cochlea via specialized ribbon synapses. Auditory nerve fibers of different phys…

Age-related deficits in binaural hearing: Contribution of peripheral and central effects Open
Pure-tone audiograms often poorly predict elderly humans’ ability to communicate in everyday complex acoustic scenes. Binaural processing is crucial for discriminating sound sources in such complex acoustic scenes. The compromised percepti…

Age-related decline in cochlear ribbon synapses and its relation to different metrics of auditory-nerve activity Open
Loss of inner hair cell-auditory nerve fiber synapses is considered to be an important early stage of neural presbyacusis. Mass potentials, recorded at the cochlear round window, can be used to derive the neural index (NI), a sensitive mea…
