According to a new study, the absence of the pejvakin molecule appears to be responsible for noise induced hearing loss. Read More
A new study reveals visual cues, such as looking at someone's lips as they talk, helps our brains to amplify sound. Read More
Researchers report a new discovery may help to find treatments more quickly for those with SSD. Read More
Researchers discover how mutations in the TMIE gene can cause deafness from birth. Read More
The brain activity response to sound in older children with hearing loss was lower than their peers with normal hearing. Read More
A new study reports that the neural architecture of the auditory cortex is virtually identical in those who are profoundly deaf and those who can hear. Read More
Researchers have identified a new protein, CIB2, that is key to helping the auditory system to turn soundwaves into meaningful brain signals. Mutations of this gene leave people unable to convert the soundwaves into signals that the brain can interpret, and are deaf. Read More
A new study reports it takes longer for deaf infants to become familiar with new objects. Researchers say the study highlights a difference in how infants process information, even when the information is not auditory in nature. Read More
Researchers report within the first weeks of life, deaf cats have reduced connections between the anterior ectosylvian sulcus and the superior colliculus. However, deaf cats have increased connections from other auditory areas to the superior colliculus. Read More
Researchers report they have been able to restore some hearing in mice which had suffered noise deafness. Read More
A group of biomedical students have developed a therapeutic toy which they believe will help children with auditory disabilities to develop their vocal chords. Read More
Researchers report age related hearing loss can increase the risk of older adults experiencing symptoms of depression. The study reports those with mild hearing loss were twice as likely to be depressed, and those with severe hearing loss were up to four times more likely to suffer depression than those with normal hearing.
