An Integrative Model Accounting for the Symptom Cluster Triggered After an Acoustic Shock.
Trends in hearing · 2018
A testable integrative model proposing that overuse and injury of the tensor tympani muscle, and the resulting trigeminal inflammation, drive the tinnitus/hyperacusis/ear-pain cluster after acoustic shock.
A Case of Acoustic Shock with Post-trauma Trigeminal-Autonomic Activation.
Frontiers in neurology · 2017
A documented human case: an acoustic shock caused chronic ear and head-neck symptoms without hearing loss, consistent with middle-ear-muscle injury driving trigeminal and autonomic activation.
An integrative model of tinnitus based on a central gain controlling neural sensitivity.
Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews · 2011
The seminal model: hearing loss triggers a compensatory rise in central gain that stabilises neural activity but amplifies 'neural noise', producing tinnitus.
