We have previously communicated that multisession epidural direct current anodic stimulation (ES) of the auditory cortex (AC) preserves hearing thresholds (Fernández del Campo, 2024) and the loss of neurons in the olivary brainstem efferent system (Alvarado, 2024) after aging. Although it is known that the descending pathway is the main effector for hearing preservation in our age-related hearing loss (ARHL) model, intrinsic mechanisms through which ES preserves cortical regulation must be analyzed. Our hypothesis is that our ES protocol regulates AC activity and prevents alterations in inhibi
