Scientists have discovered a single “master gene” that programmes ear hair cells into either outer or inner ones, an advance that they say can help overcome a major hurdle to restoring hearing. While ...

Scientists find hidden trigger killing inner ear cells and a new way to stop hearing loss
Researchers have identified a previously unknown mechanism that drives the death of inner ear hair cells, the tiny sensory structures responsible for converting sound into brain signals. The discovery ...
As individuals age, they experience changes in hair growth, particularly in nasal and ear areas. This development, driven by sex hormones, especially androgens, causes hair to become thicker and ...
(Gray News) - A recent study found the virus that causes COVID-19 can infect cells of the inner ear, including hair cells, which are critical for both hearing and balance. In a study of 10 COVID-19 ...
Researchers discover that hearing-essential proteins (TMC1/TMC2) also regulate cell membranes, and their malfunction is a primary cause of permanent hearing loss.
Researchers discover how much inner-ear damage it takes to affect balance, showing why small declines can trigger major symptoms.
