Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...

Tens of millions of years ago, our primate ancestors responded to noises in much the same way many other mammals do, pricking their ears and deftly turning them towards the sound's source. While a few ...

One of the fascinating features of human hearing is its ability to localize sound. While the human ear usually does this with binaural cues, it is, in fact, possible to locate sound direction with ...

The ear reconstruction is part of a clinical trial for patients with microtia, a rare congenital deformity where one or both outer ears are absent or underdeveloped In a "groundbreaking" surgery, ...

Scientists have been trying to create a functional human ear for decades ...
