“…In a group of children with Williams syndrome and hyperacusis, amplitudes in the P50-N100-P200 complex and MMN were increased compared to controls [43]. A study that used pairs of identical stimuli, found that P50 amplitude could predict acceptable noise level, which is associated with sensory gating functioning [44].…”

ERPs in response to intensity deviant stimuli are assessed in four age and hearing matched groups of various combinations of tinnitus and hyperacusis (both conditions, one of the conditions, neither condition). Distinct profiles for tinnitus and hyperacusis are shown, as well as additional more nuanced interactions. This not only moves our understanding of each condition, but also speaks directly to possible mechanistic subtypes of tinnitus (and of hyperacusis) which might be disentangled through the cheap and available technique that is single-channel EEG. The current findings may also explain some discrepant findings in past literature.

Purpose Auditory sensory gating is a neural measure of inhibition and is typically measured with a click or tonal stimulus. This electrophysiological study examined if stimulus characteristics and the use of speech stimuli affected auditory sensory gating indices. Method Auditory event-related potentials were elicited using natural speech, synthetic speech, and nonspeech stimuli in a traditional auditory gating paradigm in 15 adult listeners with normal hearing. Cortical responses were recorded at 64 electrode sites, and peak amplitudes and latencies to the different stimuli were extracted. Individual data were analyzed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results Significant gating of P1–N1–P2 peaks was observed for all stimulus types. N1–P2 cortical responses were affected by stimulus type, with significantly less neural inhibition of the P2 response observed for natural speech compared to nonspeech and synthetic speech. Conclusions Auditory sensory gating responses can be measured using speech and nonspeech stimuli in listeners with normal hearing. The results of the study indicate the amount of gating and neural inhibition observed is affected by the spectrotemporal characteristics of the stimuli used to evoke the neural responses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relation between the acceptable noise level (ANL) and cognitive measures of auditory attention and working memory. Design: Young adults were administered the following tests: the ANL, the Digit Span and Letter–Number Sequencing subtests of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale–Fourth Edition, the Auditory Attention subtest from the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT), and the operation span (OSPAN) test. A correlation matrix was constructed using Pearson coefficients. Study sample: Twenty-four young adults aged 20–29 years with normal hearing participated in the study. Results: No significant relationships were found among the ANL and the different cognitive tasks, nor was there a significant relation found between the ANL and the HINT. However, significant relationships were found between individual cognitive tasks. There was a significant relation found between selective attention and the most comfortable level of presentation of a story. Conclusion: Selective attention may be a key cognitive function in acceptance of background noise.
