A new study reveals visual cues, such as looking at someone's lips as they talk, helps our brains to amplify sound.
Max Planck Institute researchers report deaf children who receive cochlear implants are better at learning words when introduced to spoken word than children with normal hearing.
A new study provides further evidence of the place code theory of pitch perception and may help with the development of better cochlear implants.
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.
Researchers report many hearing tests fail to pick up a common form of inner ear damage that leads to hearing loss.
Neuroimaging technology can help determine the success of failure possibilities of cochlear implants for those who lose their hearing during adulthood.
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.
Researchers report a new discovery may help to find treatments more quickly for those with SSD.
According to a new study, the absence of the pejvakin molecule appears to be responsible for noise induced hearing loss.
A group of biomedical students have developed a therapeutic toy which they believe will help children with auditory disabilities to develop their vocal chords.
Findings could eventually lead to new treatment options for restoring hearing in humans.
A new study reports new nerve cell connections on sensory cells could contribute to age related hearing loss.
