CogHear Synaptopathy Panel - 2023 November 2

I’m very pleased to announce a CogHear (virtual) discussion titled How should we measure cochlear synaptopathy in humans? Synaptopathy is a term used to describe defective or poorly function synapses, in the auditory system and elsewhere. It’s sometimes blamed for hidden hearing loss. But if it is hidden, how do we measure it? Current hearing aid technology uses amplification to compensate for elevated thresholds. Yet, this is often not enough. People with hearing aids often still have difficulty understanding speech in noise. What else can explain reduced auditory function? We can’t “fix” it if we can’t measure it. Most importantly, what are the effects of synaptopathy that might show up in audiological or psychophysical tests? On November 2 five of the world’s experts on synaptopathy will join us for a panel to discuss synaptopathy and how we can measure it in humans. These five are: Moderator: Andrew Oxenham (University of Minnesota) Chris Plack (Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness, and Lancaster University) Enrique A. Lopez-Poveda (University of Salamanca) Magdalena Wojtczak (University of Minnesota) Sarah Verhulst (Ghent University) Each has recommended a paper to read that describes their outlook on the problem, and those papers and each panelist’s bio are listed below. Papers: Chris Plack - Reliability and interrelations of seven proxy measures of cochlear synaptopathy Andrew Oxenham - Predicting the Perceptual Consequences of Hidden Hearing Loss Enrique A. Lopez-Poveda - Perception of stochastically undersampled sound waveforms: a model of auditory deafferentation Magdalena Wojtczak - The search for correlates of age-related cochlear synaptopathy: Measures of temporal envelope processing and spatial release from speech-on-speech masking Sarah Verhulst - Enhancing the sensitivity of the envelope-following response for cochlear synaptopathy screening in humans: The role of stimulus envelope
