This study investigates structural changes in auditory nerve synapses after moderate noise exposure, finding increased presynaptic vesicle density without changes in synaptic contact area or release sites.

This study identifies a CRIP3 non-synonymous variant associated with age-related hearing loss and provides genetic, functional, and evolutionary evidence for its role in auditory function.

This study investigates how aging affects the response of mouse anteroventral cochlear nucleus neurons to sounds in quiet and noise, finding that threshold shifts decrease with age and spontaneous activity declines, suggesting deficits may arise from later auditory stages.
