A study by a team of researchers from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University offers new hope to millions of people with irreversible hearing loss. The researchers ...

A new study has identified key gene regulators that enable some deafened animals -- including fish and lizards -- to naturally regenerate their hearing. The findings could guide future efforts to ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Stem cells can be coaxed into becoming the hair cells deep inside the ears that are destroyed in hearing loss, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday. The experiment, done with ...

Irreversible hearing loss can be age-related, congenital, or acquired during childhood and is due to the inability of the cochlear sensory epithelium to replace hair cells. Transplantation of ...

Experts warn that loud headphones, concerts, household machinery and other everyday habits can cause permanent hearing loss.
