Loud noise exposure is one of the leading causes of permanent hearing loss. Individuals with noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) suffer from speech comprehension deficits and experience impairments to cognitive functions such as attention and decision-making. Here, we tested whether a specific sensory deficit, NIHL, can directly impair auditory cognitive function. Gerbils were trained to perform an auditory decision-making task that involves discriminating between slow and fast presentation rates of amplitude-modulated (AM) noise. Decision-making task performance was assessed across pre- versus post-NIHL sessions within the same gerbils. A single exposure session (2 hours) to loud broadband noise (120 dB SPL) produced permanent NIHL with elevated threshold shifts in auditory brainstem responses (ABRs). Following NIHL, decision-making task performance was tested at sensation levels comparable to those prior to noise exposure in all animals. Our findings demonstrate NIHL diminished perceptual acuity, reduced attentional focus, altered choice bias, and slowed down evidence accumulation speed. Finally, video-tracking analysis of motor behavior during task performance demonstrates that NIHL can impact sensory-guided decision-based motor execution. Together, these results suggest that NIHL impairs the sensory, cognitive, and motor factors that support auditory decision-making.

Известно, что одни и те же факторы окружающей среды, включая производственную, при одинаковой интенсивности воздействия могут вызывать различные ответные реакции организма человека в зависимости от его индивидуальных особенностей, которые определяются, в том числе наличием и комбинацией однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов генов, ответственных за специфичность ответной реакции организма человека на воздействия стресс-факторов, что обусловливает важность их изучения в плане профилактики нарушений здоровья населения. На основе обобщения и систематизации современного отечественного и зарубежного опыта рассмотрено использование однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов генов в качестве маркеров повышенного риска развития нарушений здоровья, связанных с воздействием шума на рабочем месте. Определен перечень конкретных однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов генов, наличие которых может влиять на развитие нарушений здоровья в условиях шумового воздействия. Показано, что использование генетических маркеров для оценки индивидуального риска нарушений здоровья лиц, работающих в условиях воздействия производственного шума, будет способствовать развитию персонифицированной медицины и своевременной профилактике профессиональных и общих заболеваний, связанных с воздействием вредных условиях труда. Для обзора были отобраны публикации, посвященные исследованиям ответа организма на производственный шум, с доступом к полному тексту.
It is known that the same environmental factors, including industrial ones, with the same intensity of exposure can cause different responses of the human body depending on its individual characteristics, which are determined, inter alia, by the presence and combination of single-nucleotide polymorphisms of genes responsible for the specificity of the human body's response to stress factors, which causes the importance of their study from the point of view of prevention of public health disorders. Based on the generalization and systematization of modern domestic and foreign experience, the authors have examined the use of single-nucleotide polymorphisms of genes as markers of increased risk of health disorders associated with exposure to noise in the workplace. Scientists have identified a list of specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms of genes, the presence of which can affect the development of health disorders when exposed to noise. It is shown that the use of genetic markers to assess the individual risk of health disorders of persons working under the influence of industrial noise will contribute to the development of personalized medicine and timely prevention of occupational and general diseases associated with exposure to harmful working conditions. The authors have selected for review publications devoted to studies of the body's response to industrial noise, with access to the full text.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
