Blocking the Notch pathway, known to control the elaborate hair cell distribution in the inner ear, plays an essential role that determines cochlear progenitor cell proliferation capacity, researchers ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...

While many of us wish we could regrow hair lost as we age, there are other hairs we might forget about – namely, the tiny ones in our ears that help us hear. Once we lose the sensory hair cells in the ...

One of the most significant hurdles to providing gene therapies for hearing loss is access to the inner ear. Our ears are intricate and feature complex structures that make getting treatment into the ...

Australians and New Zealanders with significant hearing loss are set to benefit from clearer, faster and more consistent access to cochlear implant ...

Cochlear implants are most successful when they are used with pre-lingual children. Most implant surgeons prefer to do the surgery between 6 months and 18 months, usually one implant at a time. Since ...

It has been previously demonstrated that noise exposure leads to activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, and that inhibition of this pathway protects from hearing loss.
