A widely used method for detecting tinnitus in rodents is the gap pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle (GPIAS). One variant uses the Preyer reflex to assess the startle response and a component of this can be measured as a small muscle pote...

Nitric oxide increases gain in the ventral cochlear nucleus of guinea pigs with tinnitus (2020)
Journal Article
Hockley, A., Berger, J. I., Palmer, A. R., & Wallace, M. N. (2020). Nitric oxide increases gain in the ventral cochlear nucleus of guinea pigs with tinnitus. European Journal of Neuroscience, 52(9), 4057-4080. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.14913

Previous work has led to the hypothesis that, during the production of noise?induced tinnitus, higher levels of nitric oxide (NO), in the ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN), increase the gain applied to a reduced input from the cochlea. To test this hypo... Read More about Nitric oxide increases gain in the ventral cochlear nucleus of guinea pigs with tinnitus.
