The ear is a complex organ consisting of the outer, middle, and inner ear. The inner ear is the deepest part of the ear, resting in the temporal bone. It is responsible for hearing, balance, and ...
Inner ear infections can cause certain parts of the inner ear to become inflamed. They can affect a person’s hearing and balance. They often occur when a person has a cold or flu, or if a middle ear ...
Spatial normalization of multisubject inner ear imaging data is challenging, due to both substantial intraindividual differences and the small size of the organ compared to other intracranial ...
Scientists from the Salk Institute and the University of Sheffield co-led a study that shows promise for the development of gene therapies to repair hearing loss. In developed countries, roughly 80% ...
The SARS-CoV-2 virus can infect cells of the inner ear, including hair cells, which are critical for both hearing and balance, a new study suggests. Researchers also found that the pattern of ...
The inner ear controls hearing and balance, while the temporal molecular signatures and transcriptional regulatory dynamics underlying its development are still unclear. In this study, we investigated ...
Inner ear gene therapy, using adeno-associated viral vectors (AAV), holds promise as a treatment for hearing and balance disorders. In previous studies, researchers were able to successfully target ...
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a tool routinely used to diagnose and plan treatment for eye diseases, has now been modified to collect images of the inner ear. "These findings are exciting ...
Inner ear infections like labyrinthitis may come after a cold or respiratory infection, with symptoms including nausea and ...
