Researchers from Mass Eye and Ear have developed a word-score model capable of estimating the amount of hidden hearing loss in human ears. In a new study published June 23 in Scientific Reports, a ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...

Inspiration for game-changing science can seemingly come from anywhere. A moldy bacterial plate gave us the first antibiotic, penicillin. Zapping yeast with a platinum electrode led to a powerful ...

Deafness represents a profound hearing loss affecting approximately half a million Americans, creating significant communication challenges. People experiencing deafness might hear absolutely nothing ...
