Polygenic Risk Score-Based Association Analysis of Speech-in-Noise and Hearing Threshold Measures in Healthy Young Adults with Self-reported Normal HearingJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 24 - Trang 513-525 - 2023

Speech-in-noise (SIN) traits exhibit high inter-subject variability, even for healthy young adults reporting normal hearing. Emerging evidence suggests that genetic variability could influence inter-subject variability in SIN traits. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered the polygenic architecture of various adult-onset complex human conditions. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) summariz...... hiện toàn bộ
Knock-in Mouse Model for Resistance to Thyroid Hormone (RTH): An RTH Mutation in the Thyroid Hormone Receptor Beta Gene Disrupts Cochlear MorphogenesisJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - - 2002

Thyroid hormone and the beta isoform of its receptor, Trb, are essential for normal development of the mammalian auditory system. We have analyzed auditory system function and structure in a mouse strain with a targeted Thrb mutation, ThrbPV, which leads to the loss of binding of thyroid hormone (T3) to the Trb protein. Heterozygosity for the orthologous human THRBPV mutation and other similar mut...... hiện toàn bộ
Is Off-Frequency Overshoot Caused by Adaptation of Suppression?Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 16 - Trang 241-253 - 2014
Mark Fletcher, Jessica de Boer, Katrin Krumbholz
This study is concerned with the mechanism of off-frequency overshoot. Overshoot refers to the phenomenon whereby a brief signal presented at the onset of a masker is easier to detect when the masker is preceded by a “precursor” sound (which is often the same as the masker). Overshoot is most prominent when the masker and precursor have a different frequency than the signal (henceforth referred to...... hiện toàn bộ
Loudness Context Effects in Normal-Hearing Listeners and Cochlear-Implant UsersJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 16 - Trang 535-545 - 2015
Ningyuan Wang, Heather A. Kreft, Andrew J. Oxenham
Context effects in loudness have been observed in normal auditory perception and may reflect a general gain control of the auditory system. However, little is known about such effects in cochlear-implant (CI) users. Discovering whether and how CI users experience loudness context effects should help us better understand the underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we examined the effects of a ...... hiện toàn bộ
Review and Perspective on Brain Bases of TinnitusJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - - Trang 1-14 - 2023
Fatima T. Husain, Rafay A. Khan
In advancing our understanding of tinnitus, some of the more impactful contributions in the past two decades have come from human brain imaging studies, specifically the idea of both auditory and extra-auditory neural networks that mediate tinnitus. These networks subserve both the perception of tinnitus and the psychological reaction to chronic, continuous tinnitus. In this article, we review par...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards a Mechanistic-Driven Precision Medicine Approach for TinnitusJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 20 - Trang 115-131 - 2019
Thanos Tzounopoulos, Carey Balaban, Lori Zitelli, Catherine Palmer
In this position review, we propose to establish a path for replacing the empirical classification of tinnitus with a taxonomy from precision medicine. The goal of a classification system is to understand the inherent heterogeneity of individuals experiencing and suffering from tinnitus and to identify what differentiates potential subgroups. Identification of different patient subgroups with dist...... hiện toàn bộ
Hearing in Fishes under Noise ConditionsJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 6 - Trang 28-36 - 2005
Lidia Eva Wysocki, Friedrich Ladich
Our current knowledge on sound detection in fishes is mainly based on data acquired under quiet laboratory conditions. However, it is important to relate auditory thresholds to background noise in order to determine the signal-detecting abilities of animals in the natural environment. We investigated the influence of two noise levels within the naturally occurring range on the auditory sensitivity...... hiện toàn bộ
The Effect of Flying and Low Humidity on the Admittance of the Tympanic Membrane and Middle Ear SystemJournal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology - Tập 14 - Trang 623-633 - 2013
Robert Peter Morse
Many passengers experience discomfort during flight because of the effect of low humidity on the skin, eyes, throat, and nose. In this physiological study, we have investigated whether flight and low humidity also affect the tympanic membrane. From previous studies, a decrease in admittance of the tympanic membrane through drying might be expected to affect the buffering capacity of the middle ear...... hiện toàn bộ
