Perceptual cues of consonant sounds and impact of sensorineural hearing loss on speech perception
… the impact of various types of cochlear hearing loss and mask- ing noise on the perception of basic speech sounds based on the information of identified speech cues. A psychoacoustic method, named three-dimensional deep search (3DDS), is developed to identify the perceptual cues of …

Discriminability of Interaural Time Disparities by Normal Listeners and Listeners With High-Frequency Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Four listeners with high-frequency, sensorineural hearing loss and two normal listeners served as subjects in experiments concerning the detection of interaural time-delays using a 500 Hz pure tone, a sinusoidally-amplitude-modulated 4 kHz tone and narrow band noises centered on either 500 Hz or 4 …

The relationship between motor proficiency, bilateral vestibular hypofunction and dynamic visual acuity in children with congenital or early acquired sensorineural hearing loss
… system may be impaired in children with sensorineural hearing loss.The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of impairments of motor performance, vestibular function and dynamic visual acuity, and the nature and extent of interaction between these in children between the …

Development of the Inner Ear: a Molecular, Cellular and Evolutionary Approach to Understanding the Development of the Inner Ear with an Emphasis on the Roles of Fgf10 and Foxgl
(First paragraph) Hearing loss is a condition affecting people of all ages and can be categorized as either conductive or sensorineural. Conductive hearing loss is caused by pathology of the middle ear and will not be addressed in this volume. Our focus here is on sensorineural hearing loss, or …

Timbre perception and object separation with normal and impaired hearing
… and duration. A timbre distortion caused by a sensorineural hearing loss not only affects music perception, but may also influence object recognition in general. In order to quantify differences in object segregation and timbre discrimination between normal-hearing and hearing-impaired …

Mutation of SLC7A14 Causes Syndromic Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is the most common sensory deficit worldwide. Various pathogenic variants have been linked to sensorineural hearing loss, and transcriptomic analysis has also implicated novel mutations in hair cell genes. This study investigated Slc7a14, which is upregulated in adult mouse inner hair …

Pitch perception and harmonic resolvability in normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners
Listeners with sensorineural hearing loss are often impaired in their ability to perceive the pitch associated with the fundamental frequency (FO) of complex harmonic sounds. Four studies investigated the relationship between FO discrimination performance and the ability to resolve individual …

The roles of modifiable risk factor and immunoglobulin G N-glycome in the risk of hearing loss
Background Hearing loss is one of the leading causes of years lived with disability and the most prevalent sensory impairments impairment affecting people of all ages, which generates a substantial burden on the adult population. Aims Study I. To explore population attributable fractions (PAFs) of …

The amplitude-modulation-following response as an audiometric tool
… on the AMFR; and (4) assessment of the effect of sensorineural hearing loss on the AMFR. Subjects in this study were six normal-hearing and three hearing-impaired adults.

Is Speech Sound Selection Important for Diagnostic Word-Recognition Tasks?
… these deviations have potential consequences for hearing assessment. To assess the clinical consequences, behavioral performance was simulated using percentage of correct responses in listeners with steeply sloping sensorineural hearing loss based on performance described in Dubno, Dirks, and …

Cochlear hair cell regeneration from neonatal mouse supporting cells
… cell regeneration, mammals experience permanent sensorineural hearing loss following hair cell damage. Although low levels of hair cell regeneration have been demonstrated in the immature mammalian vestibular system, the cochlea has been thought to lack any spontaneous regenerative potential. …

Wnt Signaling in Growth Cone Mediated Neurite Outgrowth from Spiral Ganglion Neurons in the Adult Mouse
Profound sensorineural hearing loss affects nearly 700,000 people in the United States and cannot be treated with hearing aids. Many listeners receive cochlear implants that can restore hearing by directly stimulating spiral ganglion neurons with electrodes implanted in the inner ear. However, the …

Pichinde virus infection of outbred Hartley guinea pigs and mice as small animal models of human Lassa fever
… infant mortality during pregnancy infection and sensorineural hearing loss. An aspect of Lassa virus that makes it difficult to study is its designation as a highly pathogenic human virus that requires its handling in strict bio-containment laboratory (BSL4 level laboratory), which significantly …
