Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...

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 ...

In an effort to better understand how the inner ear can hear the quietest of noises, researchers from Yale University stumbled across a potential new way the human body actively manages sound waves ...

The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...

Thrinaxodon was a mammal ancestor that lived 250 million years ago and whose ability to hear was unknown until now. Researchers who scanned its skull and ran digital simulations found that the ...

It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear ...
