Cochlear type II neurons in contralateral suppression

一只耳朵的声音会影响另一只耳朵的听力。这种对侧抑制对于注意听力和保护听力免受噪音损害很重要。我们将使用神经元发育改变或神经元被移除的模型来检验这一假设，即耳蜗II型感觉神经元为这一过程提供感觉输入。这项研究致力于解决社会中的听力障碍问题，促进人工耳蜗术的发展和对听力损失的理解。

Sound in one ear affects hearing in the other ear. This contralateral suppression is important for hearing attention and protection from noise damage. We will test the hypothesis that cochlear type II sensory neurons provide the sensory input for this process using models where neuronal development is altered, or the neurons are removed. The study addresses hearing disability in society, facilitating cochlear prosthesis development and the understanding of hearing loss.
