The challenge is hearing in noisy environments. In humans, evidence suggests that difficulty hearing in noisy, social settings may reflect premature auditory nerve degeneration. We report finding deterioration in perception in noisy environments after inducing bilateral moderate auditory nerve degeneration in adult mice.
Meet the 2020 ERG Researchers
These seven early career scientists were chosen through a rigorous review by HHF’s Scientific Review Committee and Council of Scientific Trustees, comprising senior expert scientists and physicians from across the U.S. The researchers are investigating a range of hearing and balance areas and also, as demonstrated in our Meet the Researcher column, have diverse interests in their free time, which more often than not informs their work.
