A research team from the Kunming Institute of Zoology (KIZ) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated for the first ...

Auricular vagal neuromodulation therapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment that could aid cardiovascular disease ...

One child who has benefitted from the programme is ten-year-old Callum Stein. His journey began with his newborn hearing screening when he was just one day old. He then underwent a diagnostic auditory ...

When the hair rises on the back of your neck through a process called piloerection or something hurts so much your primitive response prompts you to run away, your body can completely block out pain ...

Numerous studies in humans and other mammals show marked changes in hearing sensitivity with age due to deterioration of the peripheral and/or central auditory system. Birds, on the other hand, ...

Investigators are developing a new type of auditory brainstem implant that is designed to be soft, and flexible and address limitations of models currently in use. These implants may one day benefit ...

The novel auditory brainstem implant used in the study, including a close-up of the 11 soft electrodes that comprise the implant. A new study co-led by Mass General Brigham researchers points to a ...

A new study co-led by Mass General Brigham researchers points to a promising new type of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) that could benefit people who are deaf due to Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) ...

A team has developed a soft, thin-film ABI. The device uses micrometer-scale platinum electrodes embedded in silicone, forming a pliable array just a fraction of a millimeter thick. This novel ...

The soft auditory brainstem implant (ABI) developed at EPFL is designed to gently conform to brain tissue, enhancing signal precision and patient comfort. Over the last couple of decades, many people ...

Over the last couple of decades, many people have regained hearing functionality with the most successful neurotech device to date: the cochlear implant. But for those whose cochlear nerve is too ...

This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the correlation between click-evoked auditory brainstem responses and behavioral hearing tests. We recruited a total of 16646 infants born in ...
