The little muscles that enable people to wiggle their ears unconsciously flex when we're trying to pick one sound out of a din of noise, a new study finds. Think about how cats, dogs and certain ...

It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear has its evolutionary roots in the gills of ancient fish. This surprising ...

Researchers used powerful tech to analyse thousands of individual cells at once, considering which genes are active and how DNA is organised within each cell.

“If we can engineer an ear, that would be a better approach.” Spector’s team used 3D printing to create an anatomically accurate template of a human ear from polylactic acid bioink, a biocompatible ...

A vestigial trait is something that an organism has that once served a purpose that over time and the course of evolution has ceased to be useful. We see it in goosebumps, which were more effective ...

Following is a transcript of the video. Narrator: We have noses to smell, eyes to see, and ears to hear, right? Well, actually, your ears are responsible for much more than just hearing.

Your ear must detect sound vibrations ranging from ... and audio-processing algorithms that mimic human hearing. They might also help researchers diagnose and treat hearing disorders linked ...

We can hear sounds because our ears turn sound vibrations from the air, into signals that are sent to our brain. We can’t hear all levels of sounds. Sound waves with very high frequencies are ...

You'll notice that's not including random spikes of noise you hear throughout the day. The human ear can tolerate noise up to 85 decibels without damage. Anything louder poses a risk of permanent ...

This is an audio recording of plant sounds. The frequency was lowered so that it is audible to human ears.
