Results from a research study published in Nature Communications show how the inner ear processes speech, something that has until now been unknown. The authors of the report include researchers from ...

Low-cost screening: A smartphone-based tympanometer can diagnose middle ear disorders. (Courtesy: Dennis Wise/University of Washington) Tympanometry is a test that measures middle ear function by ...

An imaging technique able to visualize the sound-induced vibrations traveling through the middle ear could offer new information about how the ear processes sound waves, and assist clinicians treating ...

The middle ear is the portion of the ear internal to the eardrum, and external to the oval window of the cochlea. The middle ear contains three ossicles, which amplify vibration of the eardrum into ...

A boundary between the sensory and nonsensory domains contains cells that undergo a series of morphological changes and form basal constriction to separate the segregating inner ear sensory organs.
