In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

If some speakers in your sound system were broken, you might try to compensate by cranking up the volume on the ones that ...

For most people, their ears are able to process these wide-ranging sounds and make sense of them. However, scientists don't have a full sense of why this happens because they are still working to ...

Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, ...

To explore whether the cochlea responds to short-term stimuli, the researchers measured cochlear activity in mice using OCT. At the same time, they tracked the shifting brain states of the mice by ...

The illustration shows a cross-section of part of the cochlea, the fluid-filled part of the inner ear that converts vibrations from incoming sounds into nerve signals that travel to the brain via ...

The hearing organ in mammals is a spiraling structure called the "cochlea" from the Greek word for snail. It spirals out from the saccule (one of the balance organs). There are two and a half turns in ...

When the sound waves reach the inner ear, they travel through the fluids of the cochlea. The cochlea is a snail-shaped structure in the inner ear. In the cochlea, there are nerve cells with ...

The busy MUSC Health Cochlear Implant Program is about to launch another clinical trial. This one will test a device that has ...
