Researchers have captured the living mechanics of hearing for the first time by sustaining a piece of cochlear tissue outside ...

Scientists have kept a tiny slice of cochlea alive outside the body, directly witnessing how hair cells amplify sound. The finding confirms a universal principle of hearing and could pave the way for ...

The mammalian cochlea is an extraordinary biomechanical system whose capacity for sensitivity and frequency discrimination hinges on intricate interactions between its passive structures and active ...

Ultrasonic hearing and vocalization are the physiological mechanisms controlling echolocation used in hunting and navigation by microbats and bottleneck dolphins and for social communication by mice ...

Dear Doctor K: I'm in my 80s and have been progressively losing my hearing. When I asked my doctor what caused my hearing loss, he said it was because my "cochlea died." What did he mean? Dear Reader: ...

A cochlear signal, the exact role of which has been unclear since its discovery around 70 years ago, probably gives the brain information on whether the ear is functioning normally or not. These new ...

Research team awarded five-year, $3.2 million grant from National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders AHL is among the most common health conditions affecting older adults, ...

Combining magnetic properties relied on in traditional Chinese medicine with contemporary knowledge about the gut microbiome, researchers have developed a novel oral treatment to prevent and repair ...
