Hello All - Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP) Date: Thursday, April 6, 2023 Time: 10:30 - 11:20 AM Location: LYLE 1150 and via Zoom Speaker: James Bundy, SLHS Title: A New Model of Auditory Aging in Chinchillas: Chronic Application of Furosemide to the Round Window Abstract: A New Model of Auditory Aging in Chinchillas: Chronic Application of Furosemide to the Round Window In humans, hearing loss can come from many sources, from hair cell damage to degradation of other ear components. In auditory neuroscience, a hotly debated topic is which factor is primarily responsible for age-related hearing loss (ARHL). One of the proposed causes of ARHL is a drain of endocochlear potential, which is the battery that allows hair cells to transmit electrical signals. This battery can also be drained by furosemide, which results in temporary hearing loss. To measure the effects of the drained battery alone, in 2004, David Mills and Richard Schmiedt used an implanted pump in gerbils to apply furosemide to the middle ear over several weeks. Mills and Schmiedt found the chronic application of furosemide in young gerbils produced readings remarkably similar to aging. The present study examines whether this approach is possible in chinchillas: an osmotic pump will be implanted and furosemide will be delivered to the cochlea. Compared to gerbils, the auditory system in chinchillas is closer that of humans, and due to this, chinchillas are a more established hearing loss model. However, chinchillas' 15-year lifespan has limited their use in aging studies. Here, we propose a model of ARHL in chinchillas, which will allow for more powerful studies in the future to analyze the factors contributing to hearing loss and how they interact. This may allow for studies in chinchillas that analyze differences between hearing loss due to noise exposure and hearing loss due to aging, which can lead to more individualized treatments for hearing loss.

Hello, Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP) Date: Thursday, March 30, 2023 Time: 10:30 - 11:20 AM Location: LYLE 1150 and via Zoom Speaker: William Salloom, Post-doctoral Fellow, USC Keck School of Medicine Title: Human Cochlear Masking and OAE Suppression Measured Using Dynamic Stimuli Abstract: Schroeder-phase complexes are stimuli that contain multiple harmonic frequency components of equal amplitude but variable starting phase, summing to produce a series of periodic linear frequency sweeps. Classic psychoacoustic studies find that upwards swept Schroeder-phase maskers are more effective maskers of tonal signals than downwards swept Schroeder-phase maskers. The psychoacoustic literature on Schroeder-phase masking interprets the dependence on sweep direction as arising not primarily from suppression, but from cochlear dispersion (phase curvature), an interpretation supported by animal measurements and physiological models. The current study investigates the effects of sweep rate and direction in normal hearing humans, both behaviorally and physiologically. For the psychoacoustic experiments, detection thresholds for tonal signals masked by upward and downward sweeps are measured as a function of sweep rate and direction. In the same subjects, stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emissions (SFOAEs) at the tone frequency are recorded using the sweep combinations from the psychoacoustic paradigm as suppressors. To the extent that the two phenomena share common generation mechanisms, we expect behavioral masking and OAE suppression to depend similarly on sweep characteristics.

Good Morning - Seminar in Hearing - you may be interested in. In person and Zoom! Thank you! Seminars in Hearing Research at Purdue (SHRP) Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023 Time: 10:30 - 11:20 AM Location: LYLE 1150 and via Zoom Speaker: Leroy Medrano, B.S. COHC, SLHS Title: Cortical measures of cognitive engagement during speech processing Abstract: Cochlear implants (CIs) are one of the most successful medical prostheses in the world. Yet, it is still unclear as to why there is substantial variability in speech recognition performance among CI users. Attempts to better understand this enigma have used behavioral tasks to examine cognitive ability in the domain of executive function in adult CI users. Previous studies have compared behavioral speech recognition ability using meaningful and anomalous sentences (no semantic meaning while being grammatically correct) to investigate the role of neurocognitive function in CI outcomes. In this talk, I will describe an ongoing study in normal-hearing listeners that aims to objectively measure cognitive engagement in the brain while listening to meaningful vs anomalous speech. Preliminary results from two experiments will be presented: the first experiment used a passive listening task, while the second experiment required listeners to actively participate using a word-monitoring response task. The short-term goal of these studies is to optimize an experimental paradigm that can reveal neurocognitive engagement in the listening brain, with the long-term goal of implementing this protocol in CI users to investigate the relationship between cognition and speech recognition outcomes.
