Until now, the part of the ear that processes speech was poorly reflected in computer models, but University of Michigan researchers have figured out the math that describes how it works—which could ...

Researchers developed a prototype of an implantable microphone for a cochlear implant. Their device, which senses the movement of the ear drum in the inner ear, performed as well as commercial hearing ...

Researchers developed a new terahertz imaging method that was able to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. An excised mouse cochlea is pictured.

The organ of Corti – the hearing organ of the inner ear - forms from a ribbon of progenitor cells running the length of the cochlear duct, termed the prosensory domain. Starting at about embryonic day ...

The type and degree of hearing loss are currently classified with the use of pure-tone and speech audiometry. Pure-tone audiometry is a standardized behavioral test that ascertains the quietest ...

Hearing aids are small, battery-operated devices that a person can wear in or behind the ear. They help people with mild-to-profound hearing loss hear better by amplifying sounds. Hearing aids ...
