Raphael said, "One of my very first grants was to develop a model of ion transport in the inner ear. It is always satisfying to achieve a unified mathematical model of a complex physiological process.

When it comes to the physics of hearing, researchers know that when sound reaches the cochlea, it is converted into electrical signals. Auditory hairs in the cochlea pass along the signals and ...

In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea ...

This model will not only facilitate further research of the human ear but may also help to improve and better adjust compensation devices for people with hearing impairment, including cochlear ...

The novel compound AC102 almost completely reversed tinnitus in a preclinical model after a single dose. At the same time, the damaged connections between the auditory nerve and inner ear sensory ...

Strikingly, null mutants of Foxi3 no inner ear at all and completely fail to initiate the inner ear program from its earliest stages. We’ve shown that the ectoderm in these mice continues to receive ...

Effective hearing loss treatments have eluded medicine because once sensory hair cells (HCs) in the inner ear are damaged or destroyed, they cannot be regenerated. However, researchers at Mass Eye ...

Vertigo, nausea, confusion and other symptoms of the rare inner ear problem had made everyday tasks—from shopping to listening to music—unbearable. "I cannot live like this," she said.
