There are a number of pathophysiological processes underlying age related changes in the auditory system. The effects of hearing loss can have consequences beyond the immediate loss of hearing, and may have profound effects on the functioning of the person. While a deficit in hearing can be corrected to some degree by a hearing aid, auditory rehabilitation requires much more than simply amplifying external sound. It is important that those dealing with elderly people are aware of all the issues involved in age related hearing loss.

Learning to read affects speech perception. For example, the ability of listeners to recognize consistently spelled words faster than inconsistently spelled words is a robust finding called the Orthographic Consistency Effect (OCE). Previous studies located the OCE at the rime level and focused on languages with opaque orthographies.

Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) can result from various factors, including ototoxic drugs (such as aminoglycosides and chemotherapeutic agents), prolonged exposure to intense sound, and autoimmune or genetic disorders. In adult mammals, the loss of sensory cells in the cochlea is irreversible due to their lack of regenerative capacity. Current treatment options include hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss, which rely on residual hearing, and cochlear implants for severe cases, which provide limited auditory recovery while leading to the loss of any remaining natural hearing.

In the present study, the expression of S100β was examined in the mouse cochlea from embryonic day 17 (E17) to postnatal day 32 (P32) using immunofluorescence, aiming to explore its possible role in auditory system. At E17, S100β expression was not detected, except in the external cochlear wall. Starting at E18.

Twins, especially second-born twins, have more unfavorable pregnancy results than singletons. Despite the fact that more than half of twins have been prematurely born, research on auditory brainstem maturation in premature twins is limited. Thus, the goal of this research was to compare the maturation of the maturation of the auditory brainstem in preterm twins and singletons, as well as investigate this maturation process with regard to birth order.
