Firstly, and perhaps crucially, the folds in the pinna assist in determining the direction of sound (localization). This ...

Loud noise travelled everywhere with Daryl Holmes. When he drove by, you could hear his car radio blaring. At dinner, he ...

Scientists have created a more efficient and controlled way to produce lab-grown inner ear hair cells than current methods ...

A new study details an efficient and scalable method to generate human inner ear hair-like cells in the lab, potentially offering a new tool for hearing loss research.

“Adding back the retinoic acid can activate ear pinna regeneration but may not be able to activate the regeneration of heart or other organs,” Wang acknowledged.

The findings of this important study substantially advance our understanding of the transcription factors that can induce hair cell-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells. The presented evidence ...

Because the ear pinna is a uniquely mammalian structure and varies widely in its ability to regenerate across species, Weifeng Lin and colleagues argue that it makes an ideal model for studying ...

Lizards, zebrafish, salamanders and tritons can regrow a tail, a fin, or even an entire limb after amputation. Cut a planarian into pieces, and you will end up with a bunch of them. Researchers at the ...

Researchers have demonstrated that a genetic switch for organ regeneration exists, after restoring damaged outer ears in mice ...

Ear pressure is the sensation of fullness or stuffiness within the ear. Here is how to relieve ear pressure based on what is causing it.

Calcium buildup in the ear can lead to myringosclerosis. Everyone does not have symptoms, but in some, it can lead to hearing problems. Learn more here.
