For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. The non-invasive method could ...

Over 70 million people in the U.S. are impacted by hearing loss, and age-related hearing loss is the second most common ...

The cochlea is the portion of the inner ear that senses sound vibrations and converts them into electrical signals that the auditory system can interpret. The cochlea is an example of active cellular ...

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 ...

The next time someone whispers in your ear, think "cochlea." The cochlea is the marvelous structure in the inner ear that is shaped like a snail shell and transforms sounds into the nerve impulses ...

Current cochlear implants (CIs) are semi-implantable devices with an externally worn sound processor that hosts the microphone and sound processor. A fully implantable device, however, would ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major ...

Since 1974, diseases resulting from the abnormal development of neural crest cells (NCCs) and their derivatives have been collectively termed neurocristopathies (NCPs) 1. These diseases account for ...

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.
