Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus (2019)
Journal Article
Hockley, A., Berger, J. I., Smith, P. A., Palmer, A. R., & Wallace, M. N. (2020). Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus. European Journal of Neuroscience, 51(4), 963-983. https://doi.org/10.1111/ejn.14572

The gaseous free radical, nitric oxide (NO) acts as a ubiquitous neuromodulator, contributing to synaptic plasticity in a complex way that can involve either long term potentiation or depression. It is produced by neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS... Read More about Nitric oxide regulates the firing rate of neuronal subtypes in the guinea pig ventral cochlear nucleus.

Standardized questions in English for estimating tinnitus prevalence and severity, hearing difficulty and usage of healthcare resources, and their translation into 11 European languages (2019)
Journal Article
Biswas, R., Lugo, A., Gallus, S., Akeroyd, M. A., & Hall, D. A. (2019). Standardized questions in English for estimating tinnitus prevalence and severity, hearing difficulty and usage of healthcare resources, and their translation into 11 European languages. Hearing Research, 377, 330-338. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.heares.2019.02.008

INTRODUCTION: Prevalence estimates depend largely on the nature of the question asked to define the presence of the health condition, and the literature on the population burden of tinnitus and hearing difficulties is no different in this respect. Th...

Discrimination of gain increments in speech-shaped noises (2019)
Journal Article
Caswell-Midwinter, B., & Whitmer, W. (2019). Discrimination of gain increments in speech-shaped noises. Trends in Hearing, 23, 1-12. https://doi.org/10.1177/2331216518820220

Frequency-dependent gain adjustments are routine in hearing-aid fittings, whether in matching to real-ear targets or fine-tuning to patient feedback. Patient feedback may be unreliable and fittings inefficient if adjustments are not discriminable. To... Read More about Discrimination of gain increments in speech-shaped noises.
