Dr Abdulmohsen Ebrahim AlterkiIn medicine, some of the greatest breakthroughs come from unexpected places. One of the most remarkable examples is found inside the modern ear operating theater, where a ...

This study provides valuable data on the role of Hsd17b7, a gene involved in cholesterol biosynthesis, as a potential regulator of mechanosensory hair cell function. The authors used both zebrafish ...

Scientists have identified how the auditory cortex processes spatial sound, findings that could reshape hearing aid and ...

Two-year observational study using objective OAE testing now indexed on PubMed Central; raw dataset publicly available on Open Science Framework ANN ARBOR, MI, April 2026 — A two-year real-world ...

Abstract: Residual hearing loss in cochlear implant users is investigated using the mechanical-human-cochlear model. Hearing loss due to stiffening of the round window increases significantly as input ...

In his final breakthrough, A. James Hudspeth’s team sustained a living sliver of mammalian cochlea ex vivo and recorded its hallmark mechanics in real time. The platform lets researchers watch the ...

Most cochlear nerves carry information from the cochlea to the brain, but about 5% send signals in the opposite direction: from the brain to the cochlea. The exact role of those fibers has been a ...

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 ...

Amit Walia, Matthew Shew and Craig A. Buchman from Washington University School of Medicine, detail the role of cognitive function and electrode mapping in cochlear implant performance In a previous ...
