An in vivo study of GTF2IRD1 function and its contribution to the physical features of Williams Beuren Syndrome
… defects of WBS, it is common to find sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and a characteristic set of facial features. The gene GTF2IRD1, first discovered in our laboratory, and the adjacent, homologous gene GTF2I, both fall within the WBS deletion region. Haploinsufficiency of the …

From bench to bedside : elucidating vestibular schwannoma pathobiology to devise effective pharmacotherapies
… cells of the vestibular nerve. VSs can lead to sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), disequilibrium, facial nerve paralysis, and brainstem compression. Treatment options available today are associated with significant morbidity, leading to an unmet need for well-tolerated pharmacotherapies to curb …

UNRAVELLING MECHANISMSOF SCHWANN CELLS IN VESTIBULAR SCHWANNOMA AND THEIR IMPACT ON HEARING LOSS.
… of the cerebellopontine angle. Although the loss of NF2/merlin is a well-established driver of schwannoma (SCH) formation, likely of the VS, the early biological events that promote SC transformation and the mechanisms underlying VS-associated sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) remain largely …

Neural Encoding of Complex Signals in the Healthy and Impaired Auditory Systems
<p>Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) typically experience difficulty in understanding speech. Our current knowledge of deficits in speech perception and encoding consequent to SNHL is restricted to psychophysical studies in humans and single-unit experiments in animals. However, …

Effectiveness of different medical interventions implemented when a change in hearing status is detected during ototoxicity monitoring
… by permanent, bilateral, highfrequency (HF) sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The impact of hearing loss (HL) due to aminoglycoside-induced cochleotoxicity can influence a patient's communication, psychological, physical functioning and overall well-being negatively and lead to a reduced …

Methods for robust characterization of consonant perception in hearing-impaired listeners
Individuals with {\it sensorineural hearing loss} (SNHL) are prescribed hearing aids and/or a cochlear implant, based on their pure-tone threshold and speech perception scores. Although these assistive listening devices do help these individuals communicate in quiet surroundings, many still have …

Ideal characteristics of a listening device
Hearing impairment constitutes a significant global health challenge, affecting millions, particularly within the elderly demographic. It is expected that without intervention, the number of individuals with hearing impairment will surge to 630 million by 2030 (WHO, 2018). Despite its adverse …
