As findings from both animal and human studies for a long time uniformly provided evidence supporting this theory, cVEMP assessment has become synonymous with evaluation of saccular and inferior ...

The Carver's did as so many have done over recent decades. They turned to the talented doctors and researchers of the Cochlear Implant Program at University of Iowa Health Care in Iowa City.

Although others have proposed that OHC electromotility subserves cochlear amplification by acting as a "fluid pump", and evidence for this has been found using electrical stimulation of excised ...

Strengthening the cochlear nerve is key to improving your hearing and maintaining a healthy auditory system. This article details five potent exercises that will help you fortify your auditory system.

In a significant step toward creating a sustainable and circular economy, Rice University researchers have published a study in the journal Carbon demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT ...

which are transmitted to the implant to stimulate the auditory nerve. Despite significant benefits, the uptake of cochlear implants remains low worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates ...

Notable amongst the protective gut species are a group of bacteria called Faecalibacterium, which produce beneficial compounds called short-chain fatty acids by breaking down fiber in the foods we ...

Add a description, image, and links to the auditory-nerve-fibers topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

The vagus nerve (VN) is the primary parasympathetic nerve, providing two-way communication between the body and brain through a network of afferent and efferent fibers. Evidence suggests that altered ...

In their manuscript, the authors provide compelling evidence that stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emission (SFOAE) phase-gradient delays predict the sharpness (quality factors) of auditory-nerve-fiber ...

A cochlear implant bypasses the damaged ear and directly stimulates the hearing nerve. The nerve sends the electronic signal to the brain, which interprets the signal. Younger children who struggle ...
