The mammalian cochlea is an extraordinary biomechanical system whose capacity for sensitivity and frequency discrimination hinges on intricate interactions between its passive structures and active ...

Measuring cochlear function A leading theory about the nerves that send signals from the brain to the cochlea (known as "efferent" fibers) is that they control the cochlea's response to sound on a ...

Cochlear implant surgery helps people with severe hearing loss by placing an electronic device inside the inner ear. To reach the inner ear, surgeons must first remove part of a bone behind the ear, ...

BackgroundCochlear implants (CIs) are among the most successful neuroprosthetic technologies, restoring access to sound for ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...

Shortly before his death in August 2025, A. James Hudspeth and his team in the Laboratory of Sensory Neuroscience at The Rockefeller University achieved a groundbreaking technological advancement: the ...

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 ...

Cochlear implants have changed the lives of 29 residents of Holguin, who went from suffering from profound bilateral ...

Intra-arterial Paraplatin did not cause hearing loss in children with retinoblastoma, as shown by DPOAE testing. DPOAE testing is a noninvasive, reliable method for assessing cochlear function and ...

The presence of cochlear dysfunction found in patients with alopecia areata (AA) suggests the need for more comprehensive assessment and management of hearing-related issues associated with AA. A ...
