Title Pump Up the Volume: Could Excessive Neural Gain Explain Tinnitus and Hyperacusis?
520 3# - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Naturally occurring stimuli can vary over several orders of<br/>magnitude and may exceed the dynamic range of sensory<br/>neurons. As a result, sensory systems adapt their sensitivity<br/>by changing their responsiveness or ‘gain’. While many peripheral<br/>adaptation processes are rapid, slow adaptation<br/>processes have been observed in response to sensory deprivation<br/>or elevated stimulation. This adaptation process alters<br/>neural gain in order to adjust the basic operating point<br/>of sensory processing. In the auditory system, abnormally<br/>high neural gain may result in higher spontaneous and/or<br/>stimulus-evoked neural firing rates, and this may have the<br/>unintended consequence of presenting as tinnitus and/or<br/>sound intolerance, respectively. Therefore, a better understanding<br/>of neural gain, in health and disease, may lead to<br/>more effective treatments for these aberrant auditory perceptions.<br/>This review provides a concise summary of (i) evidence<br/>for changes in neural gain in the auditory system of<br/>animals, (ii) physiological and perceptual changes in adult<br/>human listeners following an acute period of enhanced<br/>acoustic stimulation and/or deprivation, (iii) physiological<br/>evidence of excessive neural gain in tinnitus and hyperacusis<br/>patients, and (iv) the relevance of neural gain in the clinical<br/>treatment of tinnitus and hyperacusis.
