Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear.

There's a chance you've seen people wiggle their ears and thought it's a neat trick. But that's actually the result of many ...

The content discusses the fundamentals of acoustics, focusing on sound refraction, the anatomy of the ear, and how sound ...

Abstract: How to efficiently obtain human ear parameters is one of the key challenges in personalized HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function). Traditional methods using 3D laser equipment for human ear ...

Falls are downstream of wear-and-tear to the physical systems integral to balance, most notably cognition. Older adults ...

Vestigial human ear muscles react to sounds even if the external ear does not move. This could be used to build better earing aids.

Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy ...

With collaborators, the researchers then investigated whether the human outer ear and fish gill enhancers could be used to follow the evolution of gills into outer ears across intermediate species ...

Discover the fascinating evolutionary story behind the human outer ear, which evolved from fish gills. Learn how nature repurposes genetic blueprints.

Experts believe this feat holds promise for those born with congenital ear abnormalities or who have lost an ear later in life due to injuries.
