Cochlear implantation has become an established intervention for sensorineural hearing loss, yet its application in patients with congenital inner ear anomalies poses unique challenges. Malformations ...

Cochlear implant surgery helps people with severe hearing loss by placing an electronic device inside the inner ear. To reach the inner ear, surgeons must first remove part of a bone behind the ear, ...

After decades of dead ends, researchers have discovered a combination of genes that can generate new cells in the inner ...

Over 70 million people in the U.S. are impacted by hearing loss, and age-related hearing loss is the second most common health problem in older adults, according to the Advanced Research Projects ...

Professor Pavel Jungwirth and his colleagues from the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences (IOCB Prague) and the cochlear implant company MED-EL, based in ...

Professor UEYAMA Takehiko (Biosignal Research Center, Kobe University) and the inner ear research group (Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine) have identified the cell types in the inner ear ...

To explore whether the cochlea responds to short-term stimuli, the researchers measured cochlear activity in mice using OCT. At the same time, they tracked the shifting brain states of the mice by ...

The researchers identified a unique biological mechanism that could enable the regeneration of sensory hair cells in the inner ear – a process previously thought to be impossible in humans.

An auditory brainstem implant converts sound into an electrical signal and sends it to the brainstem, so your brain can create the sense of sound. An auditory brainstem implant (ABI) is a treatment ...

Researchers have created the first 3D map of the hearing nerve showing where the various sound frequencies are captured. Using what is known as synchrotron X-ray imaging, they were able to trace the ...
