Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) can adjust the membrane potential by applying a weak current on the scalp to change the related nerve activity. In recent years, tES has proven its value in studying the neural processes involved in human behavior. The study of central auditory processes focuses on the analysis of behavioral phenomena, including sound localization, auditory pattern recognition, and auditory discrimination. To our knowledge, studies on the application of tES in the field of hearing and the electrophysiological effects are limited. Therefore, we reviewed the neuromodulatory effect of tES on auditory processing, behavior, and cognitive function and have summarized the physiological effects of tES on the auditory cortex.
经颅电刺激（tES）通过在头皮上施加微弱电流来调节膜电位，从而改变相关神经活动。近年来，tES已在研究人类行为所涉及的神经过程中证明了其价值。中枢听觉过程的研究重点在于对行为现象的分析，包括声音定位、听觉模式识别和听觉辨别。据我们所知，关于tES在听力领域的应用及其电生理效应的研究有限。因此，我们综述了tES对听觉加工、行为和认知功能的神经调节作用，并总结了tES对听觉皮层的生理效应。
