Prevalence and significance of high-frequency hearing loss in subjectively normal-hearing patients with tinnitus.

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Even if patients with tinnitus do not have any subjective hearing impairment, most of them have HFHL and/or EHFHL, and the effects on the clinical features of the patients are still vague.
Abstract
Objectives:We investigated the incidences of high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL; above 2 kHz) and extended high-frequency hearing loss (EHFHL; above 8 kHz) in patients with tinnitus and subjectively...

Advances in the neurobiology of hearing disorders: recent developments regarding the basis of tinnitus and hyperacusis

TL;DR: Novel studies confirm the involvement of peripheral de Afferentation for tinnitus and hyperacusis, but suggest that the disorder results from different brain responses to different degrees of deafferentation: while tinnitis may arise as a failure of the brain to adapt to deprived peripheral input, hyperacusIS may result from an 'over-adaptive' increase in response gain.

The Reduced Cochlear Output and the Failure to Adapt the Central Auditory Response Causes Tinnitus in Noise Exposed Rats

TL;DR: The observed severe IHCs ribbon loss, the minimal restoration of ABR wave size, and reduced cortical Arc expression suggest that tinnitus is linked to a failure to adapt central circuits to reduced cochlear input.

Tinnitus in a single-sided deaf ear reduces speech reception in the nontinnitus ear.

TL;DR: Whether changing the level of tinnitus in the SSD ear by disenabling or enabling the CI changes the speech reception in noise in the non-tinnitus ear is evaluated.

Development of the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory

TL;DR: The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory is a self-report measure that can be used in a busy clinical practice to quantify the impact of tinnitus on daily living and yielded excellent internal consistency reliability.

Phantom auditory perception (tinnitus): mechanisms of generation and perception

TL;DR: Existing theories and their extrapolation are presented, together with some new potential mechanisms of tinnitus generation, encompassing the involvement of calcium and calcium channels in cochlear function, with implications for malfunction and aging of the auditory and vestibular systems.

A test for the diagnosis of dead regions in the cochlea

TL;DR: The design and evaluation of a method for detecting and delimiting dead regions and the measurement of masked thresholds in TEN provides a quick and simple method for the diagnosis of dead regions are reported.

Psychoacoustic characterization of the tinnitus spectrum: implications for the underlying mechanisms of tinnitus.

TL;DR: The results of an additional experiment showed that the internal tinnitus spectrum could be altered by perceptual training in a fine frequency discrimination task with tones in the frequency range of the main peak of the tinn Titus spectrum.

High-frequency tinnitus without hearing loss does not mean absence of deafferentation.

TL;DR: Results of this study argue for the presence of a deafferentation also in tinnitus subjects with audiometrically normal thresholds and therefore favour the deAfferentation assumption posed by most neuroscientific theories.
