Tinnitus has no reliable cure but may be significantly relieved by the usage of cochlear implants. However, not all tinnitus patients necessitate cochlear implantation that can impair hearing. This study was to investigate whether a novel extracochlear electrical stimulation (EES) strategy could relieve tinnitus of guinea pigs without hearing impairment, and the roles of auditory-somatosensory plasticity in the cochlear nucleus in the tinnitus relief.

使用耳蜗外多通道电刺激缓解耳鸣和逆转耳鸣相关的耳蜗核听觉体感可塑性

耳鸣没有可靠的治疗方法，但可以通过使用人工耳蜗来显着缓解。然而，并非所有耳鸣患者都需要植入会损害听力的人工耳蜗。本研究旨在探讨一种新型耳蜗外电刺激 (EES) 策略是否可以缓解没有听力障碍的豚鼠的耳鸣，以及耳蜗核的听觉体感可塑性在耳鸣缓解中的作用。
