Researchers discover how much inner-ear damage it takes to affect balance, showing why small declines can trigger major symptoms.

Study examines inner-ear signaling in CMT to improve how clinical trials measure whether a treatment is working. By ...

The vestibular system is a network of organs in the inner ears that detects the motions and position of the head. The brain uses this information, along with inputs from the eyes and joints, to ...

Scientists and engineers have modeled a hidden mechanism in the inner ear that helps mammals balance via the fastest-known signal in the brain. The sensory organs that allow us to walk, dance and turn ...

Led by Mathieu Beraneck, researchers at the University of Paris Cité/CNRS and the University of Barcelona explored the strength of the relationship between a type of inner hair cell in the ear and ...

A surprising new function of essential hearing proteins may explain why some genetic mutations and common antibiotics lead to permanent deafness.

Because keeping yourself steady is more important than you think.

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 ...
