Age of onset plays a crucial role in the development of language. Persons with pre-lingual hearing loss (present at birth or occurring before the acquisition of language and the development of speech patterns) are more functionally disabled than those who lose some degree of hearing after the ...
Erratum: Mutations in the gene encoding gap junction protein β-3 associated with autosomal dominant hearing impairment Hearing impairment is the most commonly occurring condition that affects the ability of humans to communicate1. More than 50% of the cases of profound earl... Jia-hui,Xia.,Chun...
Age-related hearing loss, also referred to as presbycusis, is the third most prevalent chronic medical condition in the geriatric population. More than 10 million Americans over 65 years of age exhibit hearing impairment. Hearing loss with advancing age is a complex disorder with contributions from...
Jos J.Eggermont, inThe Auditory Brain and Age-Related Hearing Impairment, 2019 Abstract Sensation refers to the process of sensing our environment through touch,taste, sight, sound, and smell. Changes in hearing thresholds with age are underlying presbycusis and the various forms are reflected in ...
Deafness and hearing loss in infants and children are relatively common, occurring in approximately 3 of every 1,000 babies.1Hearing loss can go undetected in infants until the age of two, when important speech and language skills start to develop. ...
or by the natural loss of function of the auditory nerve. Other than just occurring with age, this form of hearing impairment can be also caused by traumas and injuries. Although genes do play an important role in hearing loss due to age, exposure to loud or continuous noises, as well ...
Moreover, Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a cellular surveillance pathway that degrades mRNA transcripts containing premature stop codons, typically those occurring more than 50–55 nucleotides upstream of the last exon-exon junction. Since the stop codon (Ter) introduced by the frameshift ...
Sensorineural hearing loss affects approximately 1 in 2 persons at about 80 years of age and 1 in 750 in childhood. The best known forms of hearing loss with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance are the syndromic-mediated ones. At present, the non-syndromic autosomal dominant inherited ...
Binaural processing in theCNIChas attracted considerable attention. As described earlier, sound location is not an acoustic property mapped upon the cochlear receptors but the result of computational operations first occurring in differentbrainstemnuclei. Consequently, a full neural representation of auditory...
Our data showed that absence of the Esrrg gene in mice leads to a mild hearing impairment at 5 weeks of age; this hearing loss, although present, had not progressed by 12 and 18 weeks of age. Strikingly, auditory thresholds were significantly worse in female mice compared to males at 12 ...
