This study examines how age-related auditory nerve deficits lead to central gain and structural changes in the auditory cortex, affecting speech recognition in noise.

This paper reviews evidence on age and noise exposure effects on auditory nerve function, finds age-related deficits are consistent but noise effects are inconsistent, and reports a meta-analysis showing robust age effects but weak noise effects.

This study reviews sensory tetanization as a method to induce LTP-like plasticity, finds inconsistent results across studies, and reports no overall significant effect.

This study shows that aging leads to increased central gain in the auditory brainstem without improved neural synchrony in mice and humans.

The paper investigates how older adults' auditory cortex compensates for reduced afferent input by measuring central gain, GABA levels, and speech recognition in noise.

The paper identifies two distinct types of nodes of Ranvier in the mouse auditory nerve and shows their functional roles and changes across development and aging.

This paper introduces new metrics to assess auditory nerve function using compound action potentials, revealing differences in neural synchrony and fiber recruitment in individuals with normal hearing but varying noise exposure histories.
