• Beethoven's deafness and his three styles (video) February 21, 2012
  That Beethoven suffered from deafness is well known, but how did the progression of the condition affect his composition? In this 8-minute video the Isola string quartet demonstrate how his style changed over time: Read about the science behind the video in the paper, Beethoven's deafness and his three styles, from BMJ. Switch to lower notes Details of […]
• Effects of tinnitus retraining therapy involving monaural noise generators February 13, 2012
  In conclusion, TRT employing monaural NGs was an effective intervention especially for SD patients, although plateau of the effects after 6 months may be indicative of limitation of applying NGs monoaurally. Reducing the patients’ hearing handicap may reinforce the effects of TRT in SD patients. Additional evaluation and interventions for both SD and MD pati […]

• AICA syndrome with facial palsy following vertigo and acute sensorineural hearing loss February 10, 2012
  We report a case of infarction of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) with peripheral facial palsy following vertigo and acute sensorineural hearing loss. A 39-year-old female presented with vertigo and sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness of the right ear. An audiogram revealed a severe hearing loss at all tested frequencies in the r […]
• Prevalence of Musical Hallucinations in Patients Referred for Audiometric Testing. February 10, 2012
  CONCLUSION:: This study offers no evidence that age is a risk factor. Musical hallucinations seem to be prevalent in women with predominant left-sided hearing impairment. PMID: 22327620 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Am J Geriatr Psychia...) […]
• How Technology Impacts Physical And Emotional Health February 8, 2012
  BOSTON (CBS) – We text. We tweet. We surf. Technology has changed the way we live our lives and for many of us, that means working more hours. Just ask Jeff Prag, who runs his own consulting company in Needham. “It starts probably about 5:30 in the morning. The phone is going off, checking emails and trying to respond to client needs,” he said. There are man […]
• Hearing loss, hyperacusis, or tinnitus: What is modeled in animal research? February 7, 2012
  Authors: Eggermont JJ Abstract Animal models of tinnitus require a behavioral correlate thereof. Various conditioned response methods and gap-startle reflex methods are in use and the outcomes generally correspond with putative electrophysiological substrates of tinnitus. However, for salicylate-induced tinnitus there is discordance between the behavioral an […]
• Somatosensory Neurons Remain Overactive After Exposure To Loud Noises February 6, 2012
  It is common knowledge that it takes a while for the hearing to become 'normal' again after listening to music that is too loud. The American Tinnitus Association estimates that there are almost 50 million people in the U.S. and millions more worldwide who suffer from tinnitus, which can range from being intermittent and mildly annoying to chronic, […]
• Noise Exposure Can Cause Long-Lasting Changes To Sensory Pathways; Touch-Sensing Nerve Cells May Lead To Future Tinnitus Treatments February 3, 2012
  We all know that it can take a little while for our hearing to bounce back after listening to our iPods too loud or attending a raucous concert. But new research at the University of Michigan Health System suggests over-exposure to noise can actually cause more lasting changes to our auditory circuitry - changes that may lead to tinnitus, commonly known as r […]
• Relative risk of elevated hearing threshold compared to ISO1999 normative populations for Royal Australian Air Force male personnel. February 3, 2012
  Conclusions: This paper demonstrates a new method for quantifying the probability of a clinically relevant hearing loss and the relative risk of the loss due to a risk factor. Prior to this, researchers were reduced to simplistic methods such as visual comparison of deciles which did not enable the estimation of risk. The new method can use all observed hear […]

• Tinnitus: New evidence touch-sensing nerve cells may fuel 'ringing in the ears' February 1, 2012
  A new study finds new evidence that touch-sensing nerve cells may fuel tinnitus. Future treatments may target these cells. […]
• Tinnitus discovery could lead to new ways to stop the ringing: Retraining the brain could reanimate areas that have lost input from the ear September 12, 2011
  People with tinnitus -- a constant ringing or buzzing in the ears -- can take heart from a new study by neuroscientists that points to several new strategies for alleviating the problem. In experiments on rats, researchers have shown that tinnitus results from decreased inhibition in the auditory cortex. Thus, training that boosts inhibition or drugs that in […]
• Growth hormone helps repair the zebrafish ear September 2, 2011
  Loud noise, especially repeated loud noise, is known to cause irreversible damage to the hair cells inside the cochlea and eventually lead to deafness. In mammals this is irreversible. However, both birds and fish are able to re-grow the damaged hair cells and restore hearing. New research shows that growth hormone is involved in this regeneration in zebrafi […]
• Tinnitus caused by too little inhibition of brain auditory circuits, study finds April 18, 2011
  Tinnitus, a relentless ringing in the ears known to disable soldiers exposed to blasts, unwary listeners of too-loud music and millions more, is the result of under-inhibition of key neural pathways in the brain's auditory center, say scientists. The discovery could lead to effective treatment for a condition that currently has no cure. […]
• It’s not over when it's over: Storing sounds in the inner ear April 5, 2011
  Research shows that vibrations in the inner ear continue even after a sound has ended, perhaps serving as a kind of mechanical memory of recent sounds. In addition to contributing to the understanding of the complex process of sound perception, the results may shed light on other fascinating aspects of the auditory system, such as why some gaps between sound […]
• Given prior to loud noise, two drugs protect hearing better than one February 23, 2011
  Whether on a battlefield, in a factory or at a rock concert, noise-induced hearing loss is one of the most common hazards people face. Researchers have identified a low-dose, two-drug cocktail that reduces hearing loss in mice when given before they are exposed to loud noise. […]
• Portsmouth woman receives totally implanted hearing aid February 8, 2011
  A woman from Portsmouth has received a totally implantable hearing aid thanks to the work of the South of England Cochlear Implant Centre (SOECIC), based at the University of Southampton. […]
• Workplace noise-related hearing loss affects sleep quality January 25, 2011
  Although tinnitus was reported as the main sleep disrupting factor, hearing impairment among workers exposed to harmful noise contributed to sleep impairment, especially to insomnia, regardless of age and years of exposure. […]
• Tinnitus treatment: Rebooting the brain helps stop the ring of tinnitus in rats January 12, 2011
  Targeted nerve stimulation could yield a long-term reversal of tinnitus, a debilitating hearing impairment affecting at least 10 percent of senior citizens and up to 40 percent of military veterans, according to a new article. […]
• Tinnitus is the result of the brain trying, but failing, to repair itself January 12, 2011
  Tinnitus appears to be produced by an unfortunate confluence of structural and functional changes in the brain, say neuroscientists. […]
• Is your convertible damaging your hearing? January 6, 2011
  Driving convertible cars with the top open at speeds exceeding 88.5 kilometres per hour (55 miles per hour) may put drivers at increased risk of noise-induced hearing loss, according to new research. […]
• 'White-noise' therapy alone not enough to curb tinnitus December 10, 2010
  Tinnitus -- what many think of as "ringing in the ears" -- is the perception of sound without any real acoustic stimulation. Sound masking therapy, a common component of tinnitus treatment, is of uncertain benefit when used on its own, a new evidence review finds. […]
