Researchers have developed a genetic "barcoding" method to trace how stem cells in embryos become neurons and inner ear cells ...

The hidden connection between COVID and ear problems reveals how the virus can cause pain, dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing ...

Many people consult astrologers about their lifespan or undergo regular checkups to assess their internal organ health. While both are valuable in their own right, now you don’t have to make frequent ...

Together, the canals make up what is probably the most important single “organ of equilibrium.” But there are others. In the vestibule of the inner ear are two tough capsules called the ...

The malleus is located between the incus bone and the eardrum. The malleus bone works with the other bones in your ear to transmit vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. Conditions that affect ...

Otitis media (or middle ear infection) occurs when the middle ear space, located between the eardrum and the inner ear, becomes inflamed and infected. This can cause pain behind the ear and inside of ...

Sensorineural hearing loss may be caused by pathological changes in the Corti’s organ of the inner ear, the auditory nerve ... Figure 1. Schematic diagram of major NIHL susceptible genes distributed ...

which is a sensory organ in the inner ear that helps with balance. However, the same cells did not respond in the organ of Corti, which is the hearing sensory organ. The scientists next identified ...

This non-invasive approach could lead to new ways of diagnosing hearing loss and other conditions affecting the inner ear. “Hearing relies on the cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear that ...

Sensorineural deafness is mainly caused by damage to the tissues of the inner ear, and hearing impairment has become an increasingly serious global health problem. When the inner ear is abnormally ...

The mechanisms of formation of the distinct sensory organs of the inner ear and the non-sensory domains that separate them are still unclear. Here, we show that several sensory patches arise by ...
