Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, ...

The surgery consists of making a pathway for the implant into the inner ear, which passes through the mastoid bone behind the ear. We generally insert the implant through a natural orifice in your ...

One rare but serious risk of cochlear implants is meningitis. The risk for meningitis may be higher because the implant creates a pathway from the outer ear to the inner ear, which is normally ...

These various pathways create one aspect of diversity ... and social-economic status. Cochlear implants are changing the deaf community because they enable infants and young children who are ...

To explore whether the cochlea responds to short-term stimuli, the researchers measured cochlear activity in mice using OCT. At the same time, they tracked the shifting brain states of the mice by ...

If you wear cochlear implants, sound doesn’t enter through your ear, but rather from microphones above your ears. That means earbuds are useless and you have to resort to large and clumsy over ...

Cortical Neuroplasticity in Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) The extent to which sensory pathways reorganize in single-sided deafness (SSD) is not well understood. While cochlear implantation has proved ...

However, it was not clear which genes were involved in the development of this polarized shape within the cochlea. It has now been discovered that the PCP pathway is involved in shaping the ...

Quiñones et al, The medial olivocochlear efferent pathway potentiates cochlear amplification in response to hearing loss, The Journal of Neuroscience (2025). DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.2103-24.2025 ...
