Researchers have been able to document and visualize hearing loss-associated genes in the human inner ear, in a unique collaboration study between otosurgeons and geneticists. The findings illustrate ...

An international team of scientists and surgeons, including researchers from the University of Sheffield, has, for the first time, validated safe surgical access to the central core of the human ...

The cochlea is key to human hearing, and it plays an important role in our understanding of complex frequency content. The Visual Ear project aims to illustrate the cochlear mechanism as an ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of “modes” within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, ...

Shortly before his death in August 2025, A. James Hudspeth and his team in the Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University achieved a groundbreaking technological advancement: the ...

Researchers at Uppsala University 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 ...

A tiny sensor that mimics how the cochlea in the human ear works could be used for hearing aids or microphones that can pick out sounds in noisy environments. The cochlea can adjust how sensitive it ...

AAV peptide display libraries allow for the generation of novel variants capable of high-level transduction. We previously described an AAV peptide display library combined with a sensitive ...

An international team of surgeons and scientists from, among others, Uppsala University has confirmed secure surgical access to the central core of the human cochlea. The research, published today in ...

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 ...
