Overview

John J. Guinan is affiliated with the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on neuroscience with an emphasis on sensory systems. Their work addresses several subfields including cognitive neuroscience, neurology, otorhinolaryngology, and biomedical engineering.

The main topics covered in their research include hearing, cochlea, tinnitus, and genetics, hearing loss and rehabilitation, vestibular and auditory disorders, ear surgery and otitis media, acoustic wave phenomena research, noise effects and management, and animal vocal communication and behavior.

Guinan has published extensively in venues such as Hearing Research, Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, AIP Conference Proceedings, Biophysical Journal, and Scientific Reports. The breakdown of publications by venue includes:

  • Hearing Research (3 publications)
  • Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology (3 publications)
  • AIP Conference Proceedings (3 publications)
  • Biophysical Journal (1 publication)
  • Scientific Reports (1 publication)

Recent significant papers authored or co-authored by Guinan include:

  • Cochlear amplification in the short-wave region by outer hair cells changing organ-of-Corti area to amplify the fluid traveling wave, 2022, Hearing Research
  • The interplay of organ-of-Corti vibrational modes, not tectorial-membrane resonance, sets outer-hair-cell stereocilia phase to produce cochlear amplification, 2020, Hearing Research
  • Altered mapping of sound frequency to cochlear place in ears with endolymphatic hydrops provide insight into the pitch anomaly of diplacusis, 2021, Scientific Reports

Guinan has frequently collaborated with several co-authors. The most regular collaborators include Shawn S. Goodman, Jeffery T. Lichtenhan, Sunil Puria, Shannon M. Lefler, and Nam Hyun Cho.
