[Noise-induced neurodegeneration in the central auditory pathway : An overview of experimental studies in a  mouse model].

CONCLUSION: Noise has a direct impact on basal structures of the central auditory system; a protection of cortical areas is possibly due to inhibitory neuronal projections. Degenerative mechanisms in higher structures of the pre-damaged system point to an increased impairment of complex processing of acoustic information.
