[HTML][HTML] Effects of noise exposure on young adults with normal audiograms I: Electrophysiology
Noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy has been demonstrated in numerous rodent studies.
In these animal models, the disorder is characterized by a reduction in amplitude of wave I of
the auditory brainstem response (ABR) to high-level stimuli, whereas the response at
threshold is unaffected. The aim of the present study was to determine if this disorder is
prevalent in young adult humans with normal audiometric hearing. One hundred and twenty
six participants (75 females) aged 18–36 were tested. Participants had a wide range of …
