Study of tonotopic brain changes with functional MRI and FDG-PET in a patient with unilateral objective cochlear tinnitus

Melissa Saenz

We studied possible brain changes with functional MRI (fMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a patient with a rare, high-intensity "objective tinnitus" (high-level SOAEs) in the left ear of 10 years duration, with no associ ...

Human audiometric thresholds do not predict specific cellular damage in the inner ear

Demetri Psaltis

Introduction: As otology enters the field of gene therapy and human studies commence, the question arises whether audiograms - the current gold standard for the evaluation of hearing function - can consistently predict cellular damage within the human inne ...

Novel Instrumentation and Methods for Chemical Applications of Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

Jonas Milani

One of the major disadvantages of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is its low sensitivity, mainly due to a very low spin polarization. Since 2003, Dissolution Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (D-DNP) provides a way of overcoming this drawback in solution by in ...

High-field functional MRI (7 Tesla) mapping of Tonotopy in Human primary auditory cortex in patients with unilateral hearing loss and tinnitus.

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Naghmeh Ghazaleh

Tinnitus, the chronic perception of ringing or other phantom sounds, is typically associated with hearing loss. Recent studies in mouse models have alleviated tinnitus symptom by reversing plastic reorganization observed in the tonotopic maps of primary au ...

Lateralization of the primary auditory cortex, in patients with unilateral tinnitus

Melissa Saenz, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Naghmeh Ghazaleh

Tinnitus, the chronic perception of ringing or other phantom sounds, is typically associated with hearing loss. The reduction of auditory input that conveys to auditory cortex leads to the changes in the balance of excitatory and inhibitory activation of t ...

Low Loss MEMS-Reconfigurable 1-Bit Reflectarray Cell With Dual-Linear Polarization

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Tomislav Debogovic

We present a X-band 1-bit reconfigurable reflectarray (RRA) cell capable of independent reflection phase control of each linear component of a dual-polarized wave. It presents the lowest loss ever reported in an operational RRA cell at microwave frequencie ...

Two-photon microscopy of the mouse cochlea in situ for cellular diagnosis

Demetri Psaltis, Ye Pu, Chia-Lung Hsieh, Xin Yang

Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss worldwide, yet the underlying cause is typically unknown because the inner ear cannot be biopsied today without destroying hearing, and intracochlear cells have not been imaged with resolut ...

Design of a Semi-Implantable Hearing Device for Direct Acoustic Cochlear Stimulation

Yves Perriard, Hans Bernhard

A new hearing therapy based on direct acoustic cochlear stimulation was developed for the treatment of severe to profound mixed hearing loss. The device efficacy was validated in an initial clinical trial with four patients. This semi-implantable investiga ...
