Rodent animal studies could show that tinnitus may not only be a result of apparent HL due to cochlear hair cell damage but can also be a consequence of synaptopathy at the inner hair cells (IHCs) already induced by moderate sound traumata. Here, we investigate synaptopathy previously shown in mice in our animal model, the Mongolian gerbil, and relate it to behavioral signs of tinnitus. Tinnitus was induced by a mild monaural acoustic trauma leading to monaural noise induced HL in the animals, quantified by auditory brainstem response (ABR) audiometry. Behavioral signs of tinnitus percepts were detected by measurement of prepulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response in a gap\u2010noise paradigm. Fourteen days after trauma, the cochleae of both ears were isolated, and IHC synapses were counted within several spectral regions of the cochlea. Behavioral signs of tinnitus were only found in animals with IHC synaptopathy, independent of type of HL. On the other hand, animals with apparent HL but without behavioral signs of tinnitus showed a reduction in amplitudes of ABR waves I&amp;II but no significant changes in the number of synapses at the IHC. We conclude\u2014in line with the literature\u2014that HL is caused by damage to the IHC or by other reasons but that the development of tinnitus, at least in our animal model, is closely linked to synaptopathy at the IHC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ejn.15334","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]],"date-time":"2021-06-01T08:59:44Z","timestamp":1622537984000},"page":"4768-4780","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Tinnitus development is associated with synaptopathy of inner hair cells in Mongolian gerbils"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9887-9249","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantin","family":"Tziridis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Forster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Isabelle","family":"Buchheidt\u2010D\u00f6rfler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patrick","family":"Krauss","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Achim","family":"Schilling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olaf","family":"Wendler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth","family":"Sterna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holger","family":"Schulze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Experimental Otolaryngology Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen\u2010N\u00fcrnberg (FAU)  Erlangen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0044519"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mrdd.10084"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0378-5955(02)00802-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10162-002-3013-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S1755146300090041"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.1978.41.2.365"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","first-page":"593","article-title":"Effect of noise exposure duration and intensity on the development of tinnitus","author":"Devarajan K.","year":"2012","journal-title":"ARO Abs"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0385-8146(02)00122-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.heares.2012.01.005"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tins.2004.08.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nature09656"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_13_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Stereocilia of sensory cells in normal and hearing impaired ears.
