It is the part of the ear that starts at the eardrum (between the outer and middle ear) and continues to the cartilage outside the ear. It is made of bone and cartilage. Viewing pictures of the ear ...

This breakthrough could one day allow doctors to detect hearing problems and inner ear diseases with non-invasive tools, something current imaging tech can’t do. The team created a microscopic ...

Bioscientists have a vital role to play in finding solutions to the world’s biggest challenges – and with our world-leading research, innovative teaching, and a supportive and welcoming atmosphere, ...

Our understanding of how sound transmission and impedance-matching by the middle ear works is informed by initial studies of anatomy in the 19th century, experimental studies of mechanical function ...

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 ...
