Ototoxicity-induced inner-hair-cell specific dysfunction degrades neurometric modulation detection in noise without altering peripheral tuning

Sensorineural hearing loss can result from different pathologies, but the primary diagnostic method is a threshold-based audiogram, which is insensitive to some forms of cochlear dysfunction. Individuals may experience difficulty understanding speech in noise despite normal audiometric thresholds. Because most cochlear...
