Focus on isolating the speaker's voice and ignoring background noises. Begin with five-minute sessions and progressively ...

The function of the outer hair cell in hearing is now perceived as that of a cochlear amplifier that refines the sensitivity and frequency selectivity of the mechanical vibrations of the cochlea.

Top: Rows of healthy sensory hair cells in the mouse inner ear with green stereocilia arcs. Middle: In Rest mutant mice, hair cells are disorganized, and stereocilia barely visible. Bottom ...

Yale physicists uncover a new set of hearing modes in the human ear, revealing complex cochlear mechanics that enhance sound ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important ...

Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

University of Utah and Baylor College of Medicine researchers found evidence that stereocilia -- bundles of tiny hair-like tubes atop "hair cells" in the cochlea -- dance back and forth to ...

Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...

The inner hair cells are arranged in a single row and remain free to respond to movement of endolymph in the cochlear duct. The outer hair cells are arranged in 3 rows in the basal coil of the ...

Sound is detected by extremely sensitive sensory receptors called hair cells that are located in the cochlea. The name 'hair cell' derives from the hair-like elements (stereocilia) that project from ...
