Dexamethasone base conserves hearing from electrode trauma-induced hearing loss.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESIS: Local treatment of the cochlea after electrode insertion trauma with dexamethasone base conserves hearing against trauma-induced loss. STUDY DESIGN: Laboratory animal study. METHODS: A guinea pig model of electron insertion ... Read more...

Physiological and morphological assessment of the saccule in Guinea pigs after noise exposure.

29 Sep 2008 OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the saccule exhibits temporary or permanent functional loss resembling threshold shifts in auditory brainstem response (ABR) of guinea pigs following noise exposure. DESIGN: Randomly bred guinea pigs were divided ... Read more...

An evaluation of psychophysical models of auditory change perception.

29 Sep 2008 In many psychophysical experiments, the participant's task is to detect small changes along a given stimulus dimension or to identify the direction (e.g., upward vs. downward) of such changes. The results of these experiments are traditionally ... Read more...
