Increased auditory sensitivity, also called hyperacusis, is a pervasive complaint of people with tinnitus. The high prevalence hyperacusis in tinnitus subjects suggests that both symptoms have common origin. It has been suggested they may result from maladjusted increase central gain attributable to sensory deafferentation. More specifically, and could an spontaneous stimulus-induced activity, respectively. One prediction this hypothesis sensitivity should be increased compared non-tinnitus...
Tinnitus, the perception of sound without external source, is a highly prevalent public health problem with about 8% population having frequently occurring tinnitus, and 1-2% experiencing significant distress from it. Population studies, as well studies on self-selected samples, have reported poor psychological well-being in individuals tinnitus. However, no study has examined long-term co-variation between mood tinnitus prevalence or severity. In this study, relationship depression severity...
We investigated the production of sung and spoken utterances in a non-fluent patient, C.C., who had severe expressive aphasia following right-hemisphere stroke, but whose language comprehension memory were relatively preserved. In experiment 1, C.C. repeated familiar song excerpts under four different conditions: lyrics, lyrics on original melody, new melody to neutral syllable "la". 2, novel three sung-to-la melody. The mean number words produced conditions did not differ significantly...
Singing abilities are rarely examined despite the fact that their study represents one of richest sources information regarding how music is processed in brain. In particular, analysis singing performance brain-damaged patients provides key autonomy processing relative to language processing. Here, we review relevant literature, mostly on perception and memory text tunes songs, illustrate lyrics can be distinguished from melody singing, case brain damage. We report a new case, G.D., who has...
In Brief Objectives: Sleep difficulties are among the most frequent complaints associated with tinnitus. Yet studies reporting on this problem rather succinct, and all of them lack proper age- health-matched control subjects. Design: The present study reports 102 participants (51 51 without tinnitus), assessed Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI), Beck-II depression inventory, a hyperacusis questionnaire, tinnitus-reaction questionnaire (tinnitus group only). Participants were matched for health...
Chronic tinnitus, or the perception of hearing sounds without presence external stimulation, is estimated at about 10-15% population, with highest prevalence after 50 years age. Sleep complaints are among most prominent accompanying but objective data rare. In this study, we examined prospectively subjective and sleep parameters patient population in order to determine differences disturbances associated chronic tinnitus compared matched controls. Forty-four subjects (22 22 controls...
The diagnosis of tinnitus relies on self-report. Psychoacoustic measurements pitch and loudness are essential for assessing claims discriminating true from false ones. For this reason, the quantification remains a challenging research goal. We aimed to: (1) assess precision new likeness rating procedure with continuous-pitch presentation method, controlling music training, (2) test whether psychoacoustic have sensitivity specificity required to detect people faking tinnitus. Musicians...
In this study, sensitivity to tonal relations was assessed by using real melodies instead of traditional scales or chords. Two groups listeners-one trained, one untrained-rated the goodness fit each 12 tones chromatic scale as final note familiar and unfamiliar tune excerpts. The excerpts were mirror forms in pitch time tunes. results showed that musicians nonmusicians exhibited responses governed with both These findings corroborated multiple-regression analysis, which revealed pattern...
IN CONTRAST TO SIMILAR RESEARCH TEXT reading, research in the eye movements used to read music is relatively undeveloped. Though simpler measures such as eye-hand span and perceptual have been evaluated by numerous scholars, more complex phenomena context effects yet receive proper attention; this largely result of a lack both focus on fine-grained structural properties (i.e., interval size, tonal-harmonic expectation) pool hypotheses paradigms informed current models perception cognition....
Tinnitus is a frequent, debilitating hearing disorder associated with severe emotional and psychological suffering. Although link between stress tinnitus has been widely recognized, the empirical evidence scant. Our aims were to test for dysregulation of stress-related hypothalamus-pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis in examine ear sensitivity variations cortisol manipulation.Twenty-one participants 21 controls comparable age, education, overall health status but without underwent basal assessments...
Sensitivity to sounds is one frequent symptom of a sport-related concussion, but its assessment rarely goes beyond single question. Here we examined sensitivity using psychoacoustic and psychometric outcomes in athletes the acute phase injury. Fifty-eight college with normal hearing who either had incurred or more concussions (N = 28) never suffered head injury 30) participated. Results indicated that Concussed group scored higher on Hyperacusis questionnaire displayed greater tasks compared...
Objectives: It is well recognized that tinnitus can severely interfere with important aspects of life such as sleep, concentration abilities, social activities, and mood. However, the impact may vary greatly from one individual to another, some being affected others only experiencing a slight handicap. Information participants’ experiences could help explain variability. The full experience living patient’s perspective has been under-investigated, especially in comparison large extensive...
Background: Aphasia challenges the functional communication abilities that people use for everyday social interaction. People with non-fluent aphasia struggle to express themselves when speaking, yet they have been shown better pronounce words singing familiar songs or novel in a choral context. Choral and are at core of choir practice, recreational activity has long offered aphasic associations. Beneficial effects this suggested rehabilitation but never tested randomised controlled trial...
