Regeneration and protection of synapses after noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy
Noise exposure destroys cochlear afferent synapses between inner hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons, even in the absence of hair cell loss or permanent threshold shift. This cochlear “synaptopathy” is a result of excess release of the neurotransmitter glutamate from inner hair cells, and consequ...
