    • Cochlear synaptopathy: new findings in animal and human research 
      Aedo Sánchez, Cristian; Aguilar Vidal, Enzo (Walter de Gruyter GMBH, 2020)
      In animal models, prolonged exposure (2 h) to high-level noise causes an irreparable damage to the synapses between the inner hair cells and auditory nerve fibers within the cochlea. Nevertheless, this injury does not ...
    • Preventing presbycusis in mice with enhanced medial olivocochlear feedback 
      Boero, Luis E.; Castagna, Valeria C.; Terreros, Gonzalo; Moglie, Marcelo J.; Silva, Sebastián; Maass Oñate, Juan; Fuchs, Paul A.; Délano, Paul H.; Elgoyhen, Ana Belén; Gómez Casati, María Eugenia (National Academy of Sciences, 2020)
      "Growing old" is the most common cause of hearing loss. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) (presbycusis) first affects the ability to understand speech in background noise, even when auditory thresholds in quiet are normal. ...
    • Reduced suprathreshold auditory nerve responses are associated with slower processing speed and thinner ... 
      Délano Reyes, Paul; Belkhiria, Chama; Vergara Ortúzar, Rodrigo; Martínez Sabja, Melissa; Leiva Cifuentes, Alexis; Andrade, Maricarmen; Marcenaro, Bruno; Torrente Avendaño, Mariela; Maass Oñate, Juan C.; Delgado Derio, Carolina (Public Library Science, 2020)
      Epidemiological evidence shows an association between hearing loss and dementia in elderly people. However, the mechanisms that connect hearing impairments and cognitive decline are still unknown. Here we propose that a ...
    • Subclinical hearing loss associated with aging 
      Aedo Sánchez, Cristian; Oliveros, José; Aranguiz, Constanza; Muñoz, Camila; Lazo Maturana, Claudia; Enzo Aguilar Vidal, Enzo (Elsevier, 2023)
      Objective Contribute to clarifying the existence of subclinical hearing deficits associated with aging.
    • The ongoing search for cochlear synaptopathy in humans: Masked thresholds for brief tones in Threshold ... 
      Marmel, Frederic; Cortese Barrios, Daniela; Kluk, Karolina (Elsevier, 2020)
      his study aimed to advance towards a clinical diagnostic method for detection of cochlear synaptopathy with the hypothesis that synaptopathy should be manifested in elevated masked thresholds for brief tones. This hypothesis ...
