The University of Pittsburgh received a $1,008,234 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research aimed at identifying objective neural correlates of subjective (non-somatic) and somatic tinnitus using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). The project will investigate hemodynamic responses (HRs) and...
The University of Rochester was awarded a $659,164 Project Grant under the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders' (NIDCD) Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173). The grant supports research to identify synthetic and endogenous ligands (i.e., chemical compounds) that modulate the activity of an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) called GPR156. This GPCR has potential therapeutic applications for treating hearing and...
This $134,730.00 Project Grant award from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) aims to subtype tinnitus based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) dynamic functional connectivity. The research, conducted by The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital), will analyze an fMRI dataset of 7,868 participants with tinnitus from the UK Biobank...
The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $610,725 Project Grant (CFDA 93.173 - Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders) to the University of Pittsburgh to conduct research on physiological mechanisms contributing to challenges faced by individuals with sensorineural hearing loss in understanding speech, especially in noisy environments.

The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) awarded a $145,989 Project Grant under the Research Related to Deafness and Communication Disorders program (CFDA 93.173) to the University of Rochester. This 5-year grant (May 1, 2025 - April 30, 2030) aims to utilize an animal model and in vivo imaging techniques to determine whether altered cell-specific activity or disrupted neurotransmitter signaling in the auditory and frontal cortices underlie the neural basis of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and hyperacusis (hypersensitivity to sound). The research will leverage advanced techniques like cell-specific calcium imaging and fiber photometry recordings to elucidate the neurophysiological mechanisms contributing to these prevalent and debilitating auditory conditions. Ultimately, the findings are expected to identify potential therapeutic targets for treating tinnitus and hyperacusis.
