Test-retest reliability of distortion product otoacoustic emissions in high-risk registry neonates

This paper studies the test-retest reliability of distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in newborns in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Histological and functional aspects of Alpha-synuclein in neurodegeneration

Alpha-synuclein has been implicated in the cellular mechanisms that control auditory sensitivity. In other systems it can also confer protection against cellular injury. Auditory brainstem response thresholds and immunohistochemistry were used to assess the ability of alpha-synuclein to protect against oxidative damage to the cochlea.
