“…Chronic inflammation, on the other hand, has a greater impact on CTN function than repeated acute episodes of otitis media. Therefore, it is possible that damage to CTN function occurs gradually as a result of chronic inflammation (26). On the basis of the functional results reported by Yaginuma and colleagues (22), it was suspected that the CTN, and thereby taste function, is more strongly affected in patients with cholesteatoma.…”

“…On the basis of the functional results reported by Yaginuma and colleagues (22), it was suspected that the CTN, and thereby taste function, is more strongly affected in patients with cholesteatoma. In adults, those with a history of otitis media in childhood may have experienced more severe forms of chronic middle ear inflammation, such as cholesteatoma (26). Therefore, it is suspected that regeneration of the CTN in adult patients with cholesteatoma might be different after its severance because of long-standing inflammation.…”

“…Research performed on the chorda tympani of chimpanzees shows a composition consisting of vary ing bundles of neural fibers, each fiber group transmitting a spe cific taste quality or group of qualities (Hellekant, Ninomiya, & Danilova, 1997). The proximity of the chorda tympani nerve to the eardrum (Rahilly, 2008), the prevalence of dysgeusia in individu als prone to otitis media (inflammation of the middle ear) in early life (Seaberg et al, 2010), and the delicate nature of neural excitability collectively leads to an intriguing question: Do loud noises have an impact on the tastes we perceive?…”

Our sense of taste can be influenced by our other senses, with several groups having explored the effects of olfactory, visual, or tactile stimulation on what we perceive as taste. Research into multisensory, or crossmodal perception has rarely linked our sense of taste with that of audition. In our study, 48 participants in a crossover experiment sampled multiple concentrations of solutions of 5 prototypic tastants, during conditions with or without broad spectrum auditory stimulation, simulating that of airline cabin noise. Airline cabins are an unusual environment, in which food is consumed routinely under extreme noise conditions, often over 85 dB, and in which the perceived quality of food is often criticized. Participants rated the intensity of solutions representing varying concentrations of the 5 basic tastes on the general Labeled Magnitude Scale. No difference in intensity ratings was evident between the control and sound condition for salty, sour, or bitter tastes. Likewise, panelists did not perform differently during sound conditions when rating tactile, visual, or auditory stimulation, or in reaction time tests. Interestingly, sweet taste intensity was rated progressively lower, whereas the perception of umami taste was augmented during the experimental sound condition, to a progressively greater degree with increasing concentration. We postulate that this effect arises from mechanostimulation of the chorda tympani nerve, which transits directly across the tympanic membrane of the middle ear.
