Abstract Background Proper and consistent hearing aid (HA) fitting before cochlear implant (CI) surgery provides auditory stimulation with preservation of central auditory pathway activation that supports the post-implan...

Importance Anatomy-based fitting (ABF) in cochlear implant (CI) users is an emerging method that individualizes the frequency allocation of the sound-coding strategies based on cochlear anatomy, aiming to reduce frequenc...

Noise-induced hearing loss has gained relevance as one of the most common forms of hearing impairment. The anatomical correlates of hearing loss, principally cell damage and/or death, are relatively well-understood histo...

Alport’s syndrome is a hereditary kidney disease, frequently associated with hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. Type IV collagen is the main constituent of the basement membranes. Mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4 an...

Morphological phenotyping of genetically engineered or experimentally challenged mice is the first step in researching the causality of congenital malformations. Especially for spatially complex structures like the inner...

Oxidative stress–induced cellular injury is a key mechanism underlying tissue dysfunction, and food-derived phenolic compounds have attracted interest as natural modulators of redox homeostasis. Sensory cells, includin...

Background: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) results from prolonged or intense exposure to loud sounds, causing permanent auditory damage often accompanied by tinnitus, reduced hearing sensitivity and difficulty unders...

The hair cells of the vertebrate inner ear posses an active mechanical process to amplify their inputs. The stereocilia bundle of various vertebrate animals can produce active movements. Though standard stereocilia-based...

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a major cause of disability worldwide, characterized by irreversible damage to cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. Current treatments such as hearing aids and cochlear im...
