(Original article) The research article, including the abstract, is quite technical, but NeuroScienceNews offers a bit more easily readable article about the results. In short, researchers identified new neuron subtypes in the cochlear nucleus, as one of their main results.

Coordination between vision and the vestibular system is a well-understood phenomenon that stabilizes our vision during head movements. This process is known as the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Recent studies have shown that there is also an interaction between vision and the auditory system...

The vestibular system’s equivalent of tinnitus—that is, a phantom sensation—seems to be a fairly rare topic of discussion and research. As I understand it, tinnitus in the auditory system is often attributed to overactivity in the cochlear nuclei due to a loss of signal somewhere between the...

(Source) This could be a contributing factor to headaches, ear pain, and jaw pain for someone who has recently acquired tinnitus or hyperacusis. Constantly trying to listen and monitor tinnitus sounds or surroundings likely causes strain and tightness in these muscles as they become overworked...

Recent study published in Military Medicine Journal finds that the tinnitus rate among French Mountain Artillery regiment soldiers is 19%. Abstract: https://academic.oup.com/milmed/article-abstract/183/9-10/e302/4954109

Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of McGill University examined the effects of aging on neuroplasticity in the primary auditory cortex. https://www.mcgill.ca/newsroom/channels/news/new-insight-aging-289791

Some topics have discussed if there's a connection between tinnitus and herpesvirus (for example here). No answer to that but, recent research by ASU, Banner, Mount Sinai and others provides more evidence that certain human herpesvirus may contribute in the development of the Alzheimer's...

Woom woom woom woom.... Most people have probably encountered a situation where you can hear the bass pumping from a music festival far away. Do you think A-weighted decibel level (in short dB(A)) is a fair measure for restricting loudness for all types of music festivals. For example rock and...

Hiss, beep, dentist drill, morse code, cicadas, lawnmower, etc... Do you think the type of the tinnitus sound matters, if we think how easy or hard it is to habituate? (Assuming perceived loudness is the same for all).

It's quite interesting how brains can in some cases process the input from our ears. In some cases brains can detect, that based on the frequencies that ear hears, a (harmonic*) sound is missing it's fundamental frequency. And the brains compensate and fill in the missing fundamental frequency...

What would monsieur Fourier have said if someone would have told him that 200 years later his ideas could be used in the process of imaging brains of a living human? Information technology has been really changing many areas of science in the past 50 years. Computers combined with existing...

A lot of discussion about decibels is present in this forum, and naturally members discuss what are safe decibels and what is sufficient amount of protection. Also bone conduction, especially when it comes to bass is discussed. However, I've only few times seen people discussing about the fact...
