Translational Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience : Special Topics.

Intro -- 1 Current Issues in Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Kevin K. Ohlemiller LEARNING OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this chapter, the reader should be able to answer the following: What are the OSHA requirements for employers operating work environments in which daily TWA exposures exceed 85 dBA? What is the basic assertion of the equal energy hypothesis? Define permanent threshold shift (PTS), temporary threshold shift (TTS), compound threshold shift (CTS), and asymptotic threshold shift (ATS). How do TT -- 2 Current Issues in Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder Linda J. Hood and Thierry Morlet LEARNING OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, readers will be able to: Appropriately identify and evaluate individuals with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder. Appropriately apply and interpret auditory physiologic tests. Distinguish cochlear from neural responses. Make appropriate recommendations for intervention. Apply appropriate methods in the management of auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony. Key W -- 3 Time and Timing in Audition: Some Current Issues in Auditory Temporal Processing Dennis P. Phillips LEARNING OBJECTIVES What do we mean by "temporal processing"? What kinds of sensory-perceptual processes are embraced by that term? In this chapter, you will encounter three, quite different, ways of approaching how the auditory system confronts the task of dealing with a stimulus which, by its very nature, unfolds over time. First, what is auditory temporal gap-detection? How do the perceptual.

4 Translational Perspectives: Current Issues in Inner Ear Regeneration Jennifer S. Stone and Clifford R. Hume LEARNING OBJECTIVES To understand the cellular basis of hearing loss and to gain insight into the current state of hair cell regeneration research. To explore the different types of animal models used to study hair cell regeneration in the laboratory. To learn about supporting cells and their important role in hair cell regeneration. To understand potential strategies for repairing hair -- 5 Current Issues in Tinnitus Jos J. Eggermont LEARNING OBJECTIVES Understanding the origin of the phantom sound that is called subjective tinnitus, and separating this from objective tinnitus resulting from physical, body-generated, sounds. Knowing the relationship between physiological and behavioral correlates of tinnitus, and how this forms the basis for sound treatment. Appreciating the molecular and pharmacological substrates of tinnitus and their potential for drug treatment of tinnitus. T -- 6 Current Issues in Auditory Plasticity and Auditory Training Kelly Tremblay and David Moore LEARNING OBJECTIVES To understand the concept and use of the term "plasticity," from a historical perspective. To understand why the term "plasticity" is defined in many ways and used differently in many different areas of science. To understand how plasticity is a part of everyday learning. To understand how a person with hearing loss has experienced many different neuroplastic processes as a result of.
