It is fascinating that the tiny bones in the middle ear appear to have evolved from gills that were no longer needed. Figure 2 shows the path that sound waves follow from the sound source where they ...

A study of the inner ear bones of Neanderthals shows a significant loss of diversity in their shape around 110,000 years ago, suggesting a genetic bottleneck that contributed to Neanderthals' decline.

The eardrum vibrates in time with the music—really, the frequency of the sound—and transmits that vibration to tiny bones located in what’s called our middle ear. (From there, vibrations are ...

Anewly discovered mammal fossil may give clues to how bones in the middle ear evolved from jaw bones, according to a study published in Science yesterday (December 5). The malleus, incus, and ...

Transmitting sound via the bones in the skull to the inner ear. Bone conduction speakers rest against the side of the head near the ears, but not in them. Dating back to the 1920s, bone conduction ...

Samsung is apparently getting ready to unveil its very first bone-conduction headphones at its next Unpacked event, expected ...

A bone conduction hearing aid (BCHA) helps with conductive hearing loss, which is caused by damage to the outer and middle parts of your ear. Keep reading to learn more about BCHA, including how ...

These are the smallest three bones in the human body. They’re called the malleus, the incus and the stapes, and they sit between the eardrum and the entrance to your inner ear, to the place ...

But it's the tiny bones in Dippy's inner ear that can give us a clue as to what she sounded like. These little bones are basically the same shape as that of the dinosaur's closest relatives ...

But in this case, the team used the reduced variation in the Neanderthals' ear bones as a proxy. They focused on the semicircular canals, a set of bony tubes in the inner ear that are fully formed ...
