UVa Study Expected to Accelerate Development of New Therapies For Hearing and Balance Deficiencies that Impair Millions Worldwide
Birds, fish and amphibians can do something that humans and other mammals generally cannot: re-grow damaged or lost inner ear hair cells. view more (2007-09-26)
Kids with pets grow up to be snorers
A predisposition to adult snoring can be established very early in life. Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Respiratory Research describes possible childhood risk factors, including exposure to animals, early respiratory or ear infections and growing up in a large family. view more (2008-08-22)
'Laser tweezers' may help the hard of hearing
A University of Sussex neuroscientist has been awarded £775,000 by the Medical Research Council to continue his research into the causes of deafness, by looking at hair cells in the ear. "Hair cells are the sensory receptors in the ear. Sound vibrates the hairs, which produces an electrical current, and this current starts a chain of... view more... (2003-02-05)
Chronic ear infections linked to increased obesity risk
Ear infections are a painful rite of passage for many children. New research suggests the damage caused by chronic ear infections could be linked to people's preference for fatty foods, which increases their risk of being overweight as they age. view more (2008-08-15)
Whales are polite conversationalists
What do a West African drummer and a sperm whale have in common? According to some reports, they can both spot rhythms in the chatter of an ocean crowded with the calls of marine mammals -- a feat impossible for the untrained human ear. view more (2009-10-27)
New research offers insight into oral cancer, chronic pediatric ear infections, and hearing health
Three new studies published in the June 2008 edition of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery focus on what role gender plays in the prognosis of oral tongue cancer, chronic ear infections in children, and the success rates of hearing aid implants in the elderly. view more (2008-06-02)
UVa researchers restore genes in human inner ear cells
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have discovered a way to transfer genes, which they hope will restore hearing, into diseased tissue of the human inner ear. view more (2007-06-14)
Pertussis: Adults can fall severely ill too
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is not just a childhood disease. view more (2008-09-26)
Surviving dance club music (noise) with hearing intact
By tweaking a system in the ear that limits how much sound is heard, a global team of researchers has discovered one alteration that shows that the ability of the ear to turn itself down contributes to protecting against permanent hearing loss. The report appears this week in PLoS Biology. view more (2009-01-21)
Ear infection superbug discovered to be resistant to all pediatric antibiotics
Researchers have discovered a strain of bacteria resistant to all approved drugs used to fight ear infections in children, according to an article to be published tomorrow in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). view more (2007-10-17)
New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes. view more (2008-02-13)
Sepsis Could Be Underestimated In New-born Babies (p 1953)
UK authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that the incidence of disease caused by group B streptococcal infection in babies is underestimated because the 'gold standard' methods for bacterial detection may result in falsely negative results. Around one in 1000 babies experience a serious immune response (sepsis) to... view more... (2003-06-04)
Chinese and American paleontologists discover a new Mesozoic mammal
An international team of paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 123 million years ago in what is now the Liaoning Province in northeastern China. view more (2009-10-09)
Protein research could lead to new meningitis vaccine
New technology is leading to a vaccine against Group B Streptococci (GBS), a common cause of meningitis as well as a frequent cause of pneumonia in newborns. Key proteins have been found that can kick-start the immune system to fight these bacteria, scientists heard today (Tuesday 09 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General... view more...

Mobile phones and the inner ear
A new technique has been developed by researchers in the Netherlands to look at the effect of radiation from mobile phones on complex structures like the inner ear and eye. The technique called `quasistatic zooming` will help researchers calculate the amount of radiation from mobile phones absorbed by human tissue on scales of less than one... view more... (2002-04-26)
Musicians risk impaired hearing
A study from the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University, Sweden, showed that 74 percent of rock/jazz musicians in the test group have impaired hearing. But as many as 68 percent of classical musicians also evinced impairments. A large proportion of the musicians have troublesome combinations of hearing problems, such as tinnitus. view more (2002-09-16)
Paleontologists discover new mammal from Mesozoic Era
An international team of American and Chinese paleontologists has discovered a new species of mammal that lived 125 million years ago during the Mesozoic Era, in what is now the Hebei Province in China. view more (2007-03-15)
Chronic middle ear infections linked to resistant biofilm bacteria
Direct evidence of bacterial biofilms has been found on the middle ear tissue of children who suffer from chronic ear infections. view more (2006-07-12)
MRSA pre-screening effective in reducing otolaryngic surgical infection rates
Pre-operative screening of patients for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may be an effective way to reduce infection rates following otolaryngic surgeries, according to new research published in the January 2009 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. view more (2009-01-05)
Optical Solution Revives Hands Free Mobile Telephones
Hands free sets for mobile phones may be on the verge of a big comeback thanks to new research by the University of Warwick. Many people used hands free sets in an attempt to avoid what they perceived as a microwave radiation risk from holding a mobile phone close to one`s head. However when it was pointed out that the standard wire based hands... view more... (2002-09-02)
