Experience of tinnitus in adults who have severe-to-profound hearing loss: A scoping review (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Tinnitus is defined as the subjective perception of sound in the absence of an external stimulus, and tinnitus disorder becomes relevant when it is associated with emotional distress, cognitive dysfunction, and/or autonomic arousal. Heari... Read More about Experience of tinnitus in adults who have severe-to-profound hearing loss: A scoping review.

Cochlear implant user perceptions of magnetic resonance imaging (2021)
Journal Article

Objectives To characterise opinions about needing to undergo MRI within the population of current cochlear implant (CI) users. Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of CI users is often associated with severe discomfort and magnet disp... Read More about Cochlear implant user perceptions of magnetic resonance imaging.

Parametric Assessment of the Effect of Cochlear Implant Positioning on Brain MRI Artefacts at 3 T (2021)
Journal Article

Background:Brain magnetic resonance imaging in patients with cochlear implants (CIs) is impacted by image artefacts.Hypothesis:The optimal positioning of the CI to minimize artefacts is unknown. This study aimed to characterize the dependence of the... Read More about Parametric Assessment of the Effect of Cochlear Implant Positioning on Brain MRI Artefacts at 3 T.

Comparison of continuous sampling with active noise cancelation and sparse sampling for cortical and subcortical auditory functional MRI (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose Detecting sound-related activity using functional MRI requires the auditory stimulus to be more salient than the intense background scanner acoustic noise. Various strategies can reduce the impact of scanner acoustic noise, including “sparse...

Qualitative and quantitative assessment of magnetic vestibular stimulation in humans (2020)
Journal Article

The sensation of phantom motion or exhibition of bodily sway is often reported in the proximity of an MR scanner. It is proposed that the magnetic field stimulates the vestibular system. There are a number of possible mechanisms responsible, and the... Read More about Qualitative and quantitative assessment of magnetic vestibular stimulation in humans.

The association between subcortical and cortical fMRI and lifetime noise exposure in listeners with normal hearing thresholds (2019)
Journal Article

© 2019 In animal models, exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent damage to hair-cell synapses (cochlear synaptopathy) for high-threshold auditory nerve fibers without affecting sensitivity to quiet sounds. This has been confirmed in several... Read More about The association between subcortical and cortical fMRI and lifetime noise exposure in listeners with normal hearing thresholds.

The Physiological Bases of Hidden Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Protocol for a Functional Neuroimaging Study (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Rodent studies indicate that noise exposure can cause permanent damage to synapses between inner hair cells and high-threshold auditory nerve fibers, without permanently altering threshold sensitivity. These demonstrations of what is comm... Read More about The Physiological Bases of Hidden Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Protocol for a Functional Neuroimaging Study.

Effects of noise exposure on young adults with normal audiograms II: Behavioral measures (2017)
Journal Article

An estimate of lifetime noise exposure was used as the primary predictor of performance on a range of behavioral tasks: frequency and intensity difference limens, amplitude modulation detection, interaural phase discrimination, the digit triplet spee...

Cortical cross-modal plasticity following deafness measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (2015)
Journal Article

Evidence from functional neuroimaging studies suggests that the auditory cortex can become more responsive to visual and somatosensory stimulation following deafness, and that this occurs predominately in the right hemisphere. Extensive cross-modal p... Read More about Cortical cross-modal plasticity following deafness measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy.
