Auditory brainstem neurons of avians and mammals are specialized for fast neural encoding, a fundamental process for normal hearing functions. These neurons arise from distinct precursors of embryonic hindbrain. We present techniques utilizing electroporation to express genes in the hindbrain of chicken embryos to study gene function during auditory development.

2016
This article reports the development of a neuro-rehabilitation approach, "constraint-induced sound therapy (CIST)" for sudden sensorineural hearing loss. The aim of CIST is to prevent maladaptive cortical reorganization by using an enriched acoustic environment. CIST represents a safe, easy, inexpensive, and effective approach to treat sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

Source: Lee, D., et. al. Modified Experimental Conditions for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss in Mice and Assessment of Hearing Function and Outer Hair Cell Damage. J. Vis. Exp. (2023)This video demonstrates the measurement of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in a mouse. Electrodes are placed on the head, behind the ear, and near the tail of an anesthetized mouse. Acoustic stimuli at various intensities are delivered, and electric signals generated are recorded as waveforms.

Decoding Auditory Imagery with Multivoxel Pattern Analysis

Source: Laboratories of Jonas T. Kaplan and Sarah I. Gimbel—University of Southern California Imagine the sound of a bell ringing. What is happening in the brain when we conjure up a sound like this in the "mind's ear?" There is growing evidence that the brain uses the same mechanisms for imagination that it uses for perception.1 For example, when imagining visual images, the visual cortex becomes activated, and when imagining sounds, the auditory cortex is engaged. However, to what extent are...

Auditory training repeatedly engages the brain’s ability to detect, interpret, and use sound. Its purpose is not simply to make sounds louder, but to support more effective auditory processing after hearing technology or another intervention. With consistent participation, this practice can contribute to better speech understanding and more confident communication in daily situations.
Individualized assessment helps align rehabilitation with a person’s hearing condition, degree of hearing loss, and functional needs. It guides the coordinated use of hearing aids or cochlear implants, auditory training, counseling, and communication strategies. This personalized approach recognizes that people with different hearing conditions may require different combinations of support and adaptation.
Counseling and communication strategies address the practical effects of hearing loss beyond auditory function alone. They help people adapt to communication demands in real-world settings and support participation in daily life. Including these elements alongside hearing technology and training can also influence confidence and quality-of-life outcomes during rehabilitation.
Results depend on several interacting factors, including the type and severity of hearing loss, treatment timing, and consistent engagement with rehabilitation. These variables can affect adaptation after intervention and the extent of improvement in speech understanding, confidence, and daily participation. Therefore, outcomes should be considered individually rather than assumed to be identical for everyone.
A plan begins with individualized assessment and may combine hearing technology, structured auditory training, counseling, and communication strategies. Hearing aids or cochlear implants can be included when appropriate, while training supports the brain’s use of sound. Counseling and practical strategies extend rehabilitation into everyday communication, linking clinical intervention with functional goals.
Auditory rehabilitation is used in medicine for children and adults with diverse hearing conditions. It supports adaptation after intervention and addresses both auditory performance and participation in daily communication. Depending on the individual, the process may focus on strengthening speech understanding, building confidence, or improving quality of life through coordinated clinical and practical support.
