Researchers have developed a genetic "barcoding" method to trace how stem cells in embryos become neurons and inner ear cells ...

Explore the surprising limits of human auditory perception and the range of sounds we can and cannot detect. Federal judge ...

The human ear has a snail-shaped, fluid-filled structure called the cochlea which plays a crucial role in hearing. It detects sound as vibrations and converts those into nerve signals for the brain.

By labeling stem cells with a genetic 'barcode', they have been able to follow the cells' developmental journey and discover how the inner ear is formed in mice. The discovery could provide ...

If the answer is ‘the louder the better’, you may be doing untold damage to your ears. Sorry to be a party pooper. Our hearing holes are some of the body's most sensitive parts, with the inner ...

Medical device labeling must show many elements, such as manufacturer information, product information, intended use, indications for use, instructions for use, information regarding sterile ...

An important aspect, considering the human ear canal comes in a different shape and size for each person. A fact that has led to technological changes for audiologists conducting real-ear verification ...
