A new USC Stem Cell study has identified key gene regulators that enable some deafened animals—including fish and lizards—to ...

You don’t have to have an ear for music to have a pair of headphones that better protects your hearing. Whether you wear ...

The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that is responsible for balance. Research Shows A Closer Look at the Cochlea A small portion of a rodent’s cochlea is captured in this image. In green ...

A new study has identified key gene regulators that enable some deafened animals -- including fish and lizards -- to naturally regenerate their hearing. The findings could guide future efforts to ...

Anyone who's healed from a cut or a scrape has witnessed the incredible regenerative power of stem cells. These cells can create identical copies of ...

Protect your hearing from loud festival sounds with green crackers and earplugs to prevent noise-induced hearing loss.

Hair cells can be damaged and lost due to such factors as aging, ototoxic chemicals, acoustic trauma, infection, or genetic factors. Loss ... Sensory hair cells are the mechanosensory receptors of the ...

The discovery provides insight into the mechanisms that could one day help humans recover from hearing loss and balance ...

An important factor in hearing is the health of cochlear hair cells—sensory cells in the inner ear that detect sound vibrations and send electric signals to the brain. These cells are packed with ...

A new USC Stem Cell study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has identified key gene regulators ...
