A team of researchers has generated a developmental map of a key sound-sensing structure in the mouse inner ear. Scientists analyzed data from 30,000 cells from mouse cochlea, the snail-shaped ...

Your inner ear, also called the labyrinth, plays a key role in your hearing and sense of balance. Several conditions can impact the inner ear. Your inner ear is the deepest part of your ear. The inner ...

A new study reveals the surprisingly convergent evolution in the inner ear of mammals. An international research team showed that a group of highly divergent mammals known as Afrotheria and distantly ...

New research suggests that the ear is yet another part of our bodies that is susceptible to infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. For this research, scientists developed novel ...

An inner ear infection may be a significant cause of COVID-19-associated problems with hearing and balance, according to researchers. In a new study published last month in the journal Nature ...

Ear care, or otology, specifically treats the structure and function of the ear. Ear conditions include hearing and balance disorders, damage or disease of the ear, tumors, and others (see below). Our ...

New Haven, Conn. -- If paleontologists had a wish list, it would almost certainly include insights into two particular phenomena: how dinosaurs interacted with each other and how they began to fly.

A team of researchers has generated a developmental map of a key sound-sensing structure in the mouse inner ear. Scientists at the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders ...
