The cochlear labyrinth is the portion of the inner ear that contains the cochlear duct and the perilymphatic space, which is located between the boney and membranous parts of the inner ear. The ...

For the first time, researchers have shown that terahertz imaging can be used to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. The non-invasive method could ...

Scientists at the University of Michigan have developed the first micro-machined, life-sized, mechanical cochlea, the tiny organ responsible for converting acoustic vibrations into electrical signals ...

Older adults fitted with a cochlear implant to compensate for severe hearing loss have significantly poorer cognitive function than their normal-hearing counterparts. Hearing loss is a risk factor for ...

Researchers developed a new terahertz imaging method that was able to visualize internal details of the mouse cochlea with micron-level spatial resolution. An excised mouse cochlea is pictured.
