A Unified Theory for the Development of Tinnitus Perception and Hyperacusis Based on Associative Plasticity in the Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus.

Brain sciences · 2026

A new theoretical model: tinnitus and hyperacusis may arise from strengthening of two DIFFERENT synapses onto the same DCN neurons, explaining why hyperacusis so often accompanies tinnitus, but not the reverse.

Brain : a journal of neurology · 2023

Review: tinnitus and other auditory phantom percepts may reflect the brain's own predictive-coding machinery amplifying random neural noise (stochastic resonance) into a false percept.
