Efferent synapses return to inner hair cells in the aging cochleaAmanda M Lauer
The Center for Hearing and Balance, Department of Otolaryngology HNS, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA
Neurobiol Aging 33:2892-902. 2012..Age-related reduction of afferent activity may engage signaling pathways that support the return to an immature state of efferent innervation of the cochlea...
The medial olivocochlear system attenuates the developmental impact of early noise exposureAmanda M Lauer
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA
J Assoc Res Otolaryngol 12:329-43. 2011..Our findings offer a new perspective on the potentially damaging effects of environmental noise and how these risks are ameliorated by the protective role of MOCS feedback...
Detection and discrimination of simple and complex sounds by hearing-impaired Belgian Waterslager canariesAmanda M Lauer
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 122:3615-27. 2007..Thus, despite significant high frequency hearing loss and extensive damage along the basilar papilla, BWC retain relatively good hearing abilities under many conditions...
Psychophysical evidence of damaged active processing mechanisms in Belgian Waterslager CanariesAmanda M Lauer
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, MD, 20742, USA
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol 195:193-202. 2009..As has been hypothesized previously for hearing-impaired humans, these results are consistent with a loss of active processing mechanisms in BWC...
Analysis of environmental sound levels in modern rodent housing roomsAmanda M Lauer
Department of Otolaryngology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA
Lab Anim (NY) 38:154-60. 2009..Attempts to reduce noise should concentrate on controlling sounds produced by in-room activities and experimenter traffic; this may reduce the variability of research outcomes and improve animal welfare...
Discrimination of time-reversed harmonic complexes by normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listenersAmanda M Lauer
Army Audiology and Speech Center, Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Washington, DC, 20307 5001, USA
J Assoc Res Otolaryngol 10:609-19. 2009..The differential impact of roving level suggests a weaker perception of timbre differences and a greater susceptibility to the detrimental effects of experimental uncertainty in HI listeners...
Phase effects in masking by harmonic complexes in birdsAmanda M Lauer
Department of Psychology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 119:1251-9. 2006..However, minimum masking in birds occurred for a shallow negative phase gradient. These results suggest a cochlear delay in birds that is reduced compared to that found in humans, probably related to the shorter avian basilar epithelia...
Impairments of the medial olivocochlear system increase the risk of noise-induced auditory neuropathy in laboratory miceBradford J May
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Otol Neurotol 32:1568-78. 2011..Impairments of the medial olivocochlear system (MOCS) increase the risk of environmentally induced auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD)...

Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA
J Assoc Res Otolaryngol 12:633-45. 2011....
MRI acoustic noise can harm experimental and companion animalsAmanda M Lauer
Otolaryngology HNS, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, 600 North Wolfe St, Baltimore, MD 21287, USA
J Magn Reson Imaging 36:743-7. 2012..To assess possible damage to the hearing of experimental and companion animal subjects of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans...
