Testing for evidence of cochlear synaptopathy in normal-hearing young adults with varying noise exposure history
Abstract
Loss of high-threshold cochlear synapses following mild noise exposure is suggested to degrade amplitude modulation (AM) encoding in cases where hearing thresholds are normal. However, the relationship of AM encoding to noise exposure history has not been consistent in previous studies. We investigated this relationship in young adults with normal audiograms in two studies using different methods. Study 1 (N = 25) measured the ~80 Hz …
