Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have kept a tiny slice of cochlea alive outside the body, directly witnessing how hair cells amplify sound. The finding confirms a universal principle of hearing and could pave the way for ...
