Individuals with chronic back pain reported significantly higher levels of auditory sensitivity compared with pain-free controls, but therapy may mitigate this sensitivity, according to findings ...

Your journey toward better communication begins with a single consultation. Professional care is about finding a long-term ...

Hearing impairment is a common nonmotor manifestation of Parkinson disease, often involving high-frequency hearing loss.

Unlike the visual system, in which images are mapped directly onto the retina and topographically projected to higher visual areas, the auditory system must compute sound location from differences in ...

Here we propose an alternative model of functional segregation in the auditory cortex. Our model agrees that the ventral pathway is probably involved in perceiving auditory objects by extracting ...

We are in sound overload, even when we are not consciously aware of it. Those with misophonia may be casualties of the overwhelming environment.

A study led by a speech neuroscientist at The University of Texas at Dallas sheds light on how damage from stroke disrupts the brain mechanisms required for fluent speech. The research, published in ...

Chronic back pain causes the brain to amplify everyday sounds, but Pain Reprocessing Therapy can "turn down the volume." ...

While earphones are a great aid to focus, the medical and audiology research still indicates that they carry some risks if ...

People with chronic back pain process everyday sounds differently, and more intensely, than people without pain, according to ...
