Hearing Research

Aims & Scope

The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for papers concerned with basic peripheral and central auditory mechanisms.

Emphasis is on experimental and clinical studies, but theoretical and methodological papers will also be considered.

The journal publishes original research papers, review and mini- review articles, rapid communications, method/protocol and perspective articles.

Papers submitted should deal with auditory anatomy, physiology, psychophysics, imaging, modeling and behavioural studies in animals and humans, as well as hearing aids and cochlear implants.

Papers dealing with the vestibular system are also considered for publication.

Papers on comparative aspects of hearing and on effects of drugs and environmental contaminants on hearing function will also be considered.

Clinical papers will be accepted when they contribute to the understanding of normal and pathological hearing functions.
