a very sensitive organ in your inner ear. This spiral-shaped cavity contains two fluid-filled chambers lined with tiny hair cells that are topped with stereocilia, small hair-like structures that ...

This is the presence of ‘stereocilia,’ which are bundles of hair cells in the inner ear. Scientists propose that magnetite nanocrystals are attached to the stereocilia. Because this iron-based ...

The same genes could hold the key to regenerating cells in the ear and eye, according to a new mouse study from the USC Stem ...

Scientists have made a major leap in ear imaging by using terahertz radiation to see inside the cochlea – an impossibly tiny, ...

A USC research team discovered that a single genetic signal may be preventing both hearing and vision cells from repairing ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse ...

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 ...

It can occur in the outer, middle, or inner ear. Hearing loss typically occurs gradually over time. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) reports that about ...

Researchers have discovered a groundbreaking use of terahertz (THz) imaging to visualize cochlear structures in mice, offering non-invasive, high-resolution diagnostics. By creating 3D reconstructions ...

They can also remove fungi with a small vacuum. This procedure is known as ear aspiration. Meniere’s disease is an inner ear disorder that causes severe dizziness, or vertigo, tinnitus ...
