Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have achieved a remarkable feat: They have made a replica of an adult human ear using state-of-the-art tissue engineering and a 3D printer.
This groundbreaking study offers hope ...
Unwanted noise disrupts thought, increases stress hormones and blood pressure, and causes inflammation. Even noise you may want—like loud music—can still damage hearing over time.
Background: The International Commission on ...
A new MIT study analyzed how modern deep neural networks compare to the human auditory system when processing sounds.
The researchers looked at 23 different computational models that had been trained on auditory tasks like speech and sound ...
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed "semantic hearing" technology that blends noise cancellation with customizable sound filtering.
The experimental technology uses deep-learning algorithms on a connected smartphone ...
Astrophysicist Jason Nordhaus of the Rochester Institute of Technology has secured a $313,000 National Science Foundation grant to boost underrepresented groups in physics research.
His initiative connects promising deaf, hard-of-hearing, and ...
Untreated hearing loss contributes to an increased risk of dementia, though the link between the two is still unclear. Recent studies, however, suggest a likely cause.
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have discovered that ...
Do vision and hearing operate independently? New research reveals an intriguing connection: Your ears make faint, inaudible sounds when your eyes move.
If you have hearing loss, you have questions — and our audiologists are here to answer them.
Here are four they often hear.
Yes, hearing loss increases if left untreated. ...
Columbia University scientists discovered the brain manages speech differently based on its clarity and our focus on it. They investigated how the brain processes “glimpsed” and “masked” speech. Their results could improve future hearing-aid designs.
We’ve ...
Research conducted at King’s College London shows nearly 1 in 5 adults in the United Kingdom experience significant adverse reactions to simple sounds from a condition called misophonia.
Ever had a catchy tune linger in your head for hours or sometimes days? Of course, you have. Earworms are common. Almost everyone has experienced them. Also known as song syndrome, sticky music, or the posh term, involuntary musical imagery, ...
Hearing is a vital component of a sensory-cognitive system and not an isolated sensory experience.
As ...
Hearing is a life-enhancing sense so ingrained into our daily experience that it's easy to undervalue its many benefits. But we shouldn't. We hear to communicate, experience music and nature, educate ourselves and others, work, preserve our mental ...
Your ears must convert energy five times to create neural signals your brain interprets as sound. This fantastic sequence makes your hearing possible.
Scientists at the LIVElab at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, wanted to find out what musical ingredients make us want to dance. They found that people danced 12% more when a low-frequency bass was played.
We look at things ...
Swimmer’s ear is an infection of the outer ear and ear canal that usually occurs after water has gotten stuck in the ear canal. It can be painful.
The medical term for swimmer’s ear is otitis externa. Swimmer’s ear is different than middle ...
