Tytuł wystąpienia: „From Hidden Hearing Loss to Hidden Hearing”
Abstract: In this seminar, I will discuss hidden hearing loss, with a particular focus on cochlear synaptopathy, based on research conducted by our group over the years. Our study examined the relationship between lifetime noise exposure in a large sample of young adults and auditory psychoacoustic and electrophysiological measures. I will also explore potential risk factors and protective mechanisms against noise-induced hearing damage, including conditioning and the role of female sex hormones. The second part of the talk will address the concept of hidden hearing—does all hearing originate in the cochlea? I will present evidence suggesting the vestibular system's contribution to auditory perception and discuss its potential role in late-latency evoked potentials, loudness perception, music perception, and stuttering.
