Scientists and engineers have modeled a hidden mechanism in the inner ear that helps mammals balance via the fastest-known signal in the brain. The sensory organs that allow us to walk, dance and turn ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Salk Institute and the University of Sheffield completed a study that they say shows promise for the development of gene therapies to repair hearing loss. In developed countries, ...

The inner ear is divided into two fluid filled chambers - one inside the other. Figure 3 illustrates the basic organization of both the organs of hearing and balance. The fluid in the two chambers ...

Two major groups of bats that use echolocation have different structures for connecting the inner ear to the brain, according to a new study by researchers from the University of Chicago, the American ...

Inner ear infections can cause certain parts of the inner ear to become inflamed. They can affect a person’s hearing and balance. They often occur when a person has a cold or flu, or if a middle ear ...

When Andrew Griffith, MD, PhD, looks at the inner ear, he sees what he describes as "an engineering marvel." Just think about it, he says, the inner ear is intricately designed to process sound, which ...
