Serous otitis media (SOM) is when the eustachian tube does not drain and causes fluid to build up in the middle ear space. The fluid build-up can cause discomfort or muffled hearing. If it doesn't ...

The non-invasive method could open new possibilities for diagnosing hearing loss and other ear-related conditions. "Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that ...

Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that converts sound waves into neural signals. Any structural or functional impairment of the cochlea can lead to hearing loss ...

This non-invasive approach could lead to new ways of diagnosing hearing loss and other conditions affecting the inner ear. “Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that ...

"We see a very bright future here, and we are excited about it," said Stu Sayers, president of Asia-Pacific and Latin America, Cochlear Ltd, an Australian company specializing in implantable ...

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

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 mechanisms behind these relationships may involve improved blood flow to the cochlea, reduced oxidative damage, and decreased inflammation—all factors that could potentially protect the intricate ...
