Discoveries in Marine Mammal Hearing
Early studies of marine mammals underwater were driven by awe, imagination, and the wealth they represented from oil, bone, and flesh. Aristotle...

Birds as a Model in Hearing Research
The earliest reference to hearing birds can be traced back to Aristotle who mused about the parallels between birdsong and human language, a theme...

The neuroanatomical hallmarks of chronic tinnitus in comorbidity with pure-tone hearing loss
Tinnitus is one of the main hearing impairments often associated with pure-tone hearing loss, and typically manifested in the perception of phantom...

Insect Hearing: Selected Historical Vignettes
How insects hear has understandably been influenced by what we know about how vertebrates hear. However, insects are among the smallest of...

Deletion of Luzp2 Does Not Cause Hearing Loss in Mice
Deafness is the prevailing sensory impairment among humans, impacting every aspect of one's existence. Half of congenital deafness cases are...

Susceptibility of Harbor Porpoise Hearing to Intermittent Sound Exposures
The effects of intermittent sound exposures on the hearing of marine mammals are not well understood. This chapter explores a model to predict growth...

Discrimination of Rippled Spectra by Listeners with Impaired Hearing in Two Experimental Schemes
Studies in listeners aged 30–82 years measured the frequency resolution power(FRP) of hearing as the maximum density (cycle/oct) of spectrum ripples...

Underwater Hearing and Noise Exposure Concerns in Humans
Human divers can be exposed to high-energy underwater noise sources as part of their jobs. Establishing safety guidance for noise exposure is...

A systematic review on the contribution of DNA methylation to hearing loss
BackgroundDNA methylation may have a regulatory role in monogenic sensorineural hearing loss and complex, polygenic phenotypic forms of hearing loss,...

Evolution of the Understanding of Fish Hearing
Several ancient scholars assumed that fishes could hear, but it was not until early in the twentieth century that this was clearly demonstrated. At...

Temporary Threshold Shift in Turtles
Temporary threshold shifts (TTS) have been studied in a variety of aquatic organisms from fish to marine mammals, but never in sea turtles. Here,...

Attenuation of Age-Related Hearing Impairment in Senescence-Accelerated Mouse Prone 8 (SAMP8) Mice Treated with Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor CMS121
In the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mouse model, oxidative stress leads to premature senescence and age-related hearing impairment...

The natural history, clinical outcomes, and genotype–phenotype relationship of otoferlin-related hearing loss: a systematic, quantitative literature review
Congenital hearing loss affects one in 500 newborns. Sequence variations in OTOF , which encodes the calcium-binding protein otoferlin, are...
