This study shows that IHC dysfunction impairs temporal-envelope coding in auditory-nerve fibers without altering peripheral tuning, contributing to hidden hearing loss.

This paper introduces a computational model of the mammalian auditory periphery that includes a medial olivocochlear reflex pathway, showing its ability to simulate effects of contralateral elicitors on auditory-nerve responses.

This paper models auditory enhancement using a subcortical auditory model with MOC efferent gain control, replicating psychoacoustic findings on level dependence and hearing loss effects.

The paper investigates how discharge-rate recovery in IC neurons occurs after narrowband noise maskers, finding that full recovery requires long inter-trial intervals.

This paper proposes a computational model of the auditory subcortex that explains forward masking through efferent control of cochlear gain, demonstrating its ability to account for physiological and psychoacoustic results.

The paper develops an auditory model with efferent gain control that simulates increased firing rates in inferior colliculus neurons in response to amplitude-modulated noise.

The paper models neural responses to fricatives in the auditory nerve and inferior colliculus, finding that these responses better predict consonant perception than stimulus spectra.

The paper investigates how age-related hearing loss affects forward masking in Gaussian noise and finds older listeners with mild hearing loss are more susceptible to masker-envelope fluctuations.
