项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hearing loss from intense noise exposure and ototoxic drugs greatly reduces the neural output of the cochlea. Despite a reduced cochlear output, neural activity in the central auditory pathway often becomes hyperactive at suprathreshold intensities indicative of Enhanced Central Gain. Enhanced Central Gain is believed to be responsible for hyperacusis, a condition in which listeners experience everyday sounds as unbearably loud or even painful. The goals of this project are: (1) Determine if Enhanced Central Gain is responsible for the temporal and spectral features of hyperacusis, (2) Determine how the acoustic environment (sound enrichment/deprivation) modulates hyperacusis/loudness growth and Central Gain and (3) Determine how serotonin and GABA agonists/antagonists affect hyperacusis and Central Gain. The proposed studies will increase our understanding of the neural mechanisms of hyperacusis and test the efficacy of pharmacological agents to treat hyperacusis.

描述（由申请人提供）：强烈噪音暴露和耳毒性药物导致的听力损失会大大降低耳蜗的神经输出。尽管耳蜗输出减少，但中枢听觉通路中的神经活动通常在阈上强度下变得过度活跃，表明中枢增益增强。增强的中央增益被认为是导致听觉过敏的原因，在这种情况下，听众会感到日常声音难以忍受，甚至令人痛苦。该项目的目标是：(1) 确定增强型中央增益是否与听觉过敏的时间和频谱特征有关，(2) 确定声学环境（声音丰富/剥夺）如何调节听觉过敏/响度增长和中央增益，以及（ 3) 确定血清素和 GABA 激动剂/拮抗剂如何影响听觉过敏和中央增益。拟议的研究将增加我们对听觉过敏神经机制的理解，并测试药物治疗听觉过敏的功效。
