Using a generic mock-up of a cochlea, a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear, the researchers applied existing mathematical models to uncover a new layer of cochlear complexity. The results ...

The tingling, numbness, and pain of peripheral neuropathy generally stem from nerve damage in your hands and feet. The nerve damage—and the symptoms—generally start in your longest nerves, which is ...

Vagus Nerve Stimulation therapy is a treatment for epilepsy that involves a stimulator (or 'pulse generator') which is connected, inside the body, to the left vagus nerve in the neck. The stimulator ...

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.

Ringing in the ears is caused by a disorder in the auditory system. This can involve the ear, the cochlear nerve that connects the brain and the inner ear, and neurochemicals and areas of the brain ...

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 ...

Nerve pain refers to painful sensations around the nerves. Various treatment options are available, including anticonvulsants, certain antidepressants, mild opioids, and some topical treatments ...

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 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 ...

If you have seizures which can’t be controlled with epilepsy medicines, and you are not able to have epilepsy brain surgery, then vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy may be an option for you. The ...

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 ...

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 ...
