The little muscles that enable people to wiggle their ears unconsciously flex when we're trying to pick one sound out of a din of noise, a new study finds. Think about how cats, dogs and certain ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: We have noses to smell, eyes to see, and ears to hear, right? Well, actually, your ears are responsible for much more than just hearing.

It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear has its evolutionary roots in the gills of ancient fish. This surprising ...

Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell.

“If we can engineer an ear, that would be a better approach.” Spector’s team used 3D printing to create an anatomically accurate template of a human ear from polylactic acid bioink, a biocompatible ...

A team of researchers have developed "audible enclave" technology that creates pockets of sound that can be heard at a ...

A vestigial trait is something that an organism has that once served a purpose that over time and the course of evolution has ceased to be useful. We see it in goosebumps, which were more effective ...

You'll notice that's not including random spikes of noise you hear throughout the day. The human ear can tolerate noise up to 85 decibels without damage. Anything louder poses a risk of permanent ...

We can hear sounds because our ears turn sound vibrations from the air, into signals that are sent to our brain. We can’t hear all levels of sounds. Sound waves with very high frequencies are ...

[Carlos] fixed these shortcomings and created a few 3D models that accurately model the human ear and head. There’s also a simple stereo microphone amplifier for this project that is designed to ...

The human body often reacts to spiritual changes in subtle ways, and ear ringing is one of those signals. It could be a message from the universe. Have you ever experienced a sudden ringing in ...
