Cochlear implants (CIs) are advanced devices designed to provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe hearing loss. They work by bypassing damaged hair cells in the cochlea and directly ...
An international team of researchers has developed a new method to deliver drugs into the inner ear. The discovery was possible by harnessing the natural flow of fluids in the brain and employing a ...
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 ...
Older adults fitted with a cochlear implant to compensate for severe hearing loss have significantly poorer cognitive function than their normal-hearing counterparts. Hearing loss is a risk factor for ...

To hear a sound, auditory signals travel through a person’s ear, where they are transformed into vibrations that swirl through fluid in the cochlea, a spiral, snail-like structure in the inner ear.
The brain may play a role in helping the ear regulate its sensitivity to sound and compensate for hearing loss by sending a signal to a structure in the inner ear known as the cochlea, according to a ...
Gene therapy can treat genetic hearing loss in neonatal mice. However, treating adult animals is harder because of the location of the cochlea and the risk of damage to inner ear structures. Now, a ...
