Researchers at the University of Leeds have made a significant step forward in understanding the causes of some forms of deafness. view more (2009-03-04)
Memory impairment associated with sound processing disorder
Mild memory impairment may be associated with central auditory processing dysfunction, or difficulty hearing in complex situations with competing noise, such as hearing a single conversation amid several other conversations, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives... view more...

European researchers identify genetic determinants of deafness - September 1 is World Deafness Day
Deafness is a real and often underestimated health problem in Europe: 6% of the European population suffer of hearing impairment. It is now known that over 50% of all hearing impairments is caused by genetic factor. Over the last 7 years, the European Commission has channelled more than EUR10 million into research on different aspects of deafness.... view more... (2003-08-28)
New tool to assess speech development in infants, toddlers with hearing impairments
The number of hearing impaired infants and toddlers who are successfully aided by technological devices, such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, continues to grow, but there are still unknowns about these children's speaking abilities, according to a Purdue University expert. view more (2008-09-24)
Antibiotics do not appear helpful in preventing fluid buildup in children with ear infections
When prescribed to children with middle ear infections, antibiotics are not associated with a significant reduction in fluid buildup in the ear. view more (2008-02-19)
New insights into progressive hearing loss
In parallel studies in human and mouse, two groups of researchers have come to the same conclusion: that a new kind of gene is associated with progressive hearing loss. view more (2009-04-13)
Anti-angiogenesis treatment improves hearing in some NF2 patients
Treatment with the angiogenesis inhibitor bevacizumab improved hearing and alleviated other symptoms in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2). view more (2009-07-09)
Lower-dose fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy results in better hearing preservation
Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University have found that a lower dose of fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy for acoustic neuromas results in better hearing preservation and has the same tumor local control rate as a higher dose of therapy. view more (2008-12-18)
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)
Light shed on vision and hearing disorders
The most common hereditary condition that affects both hearing and vision is Usher Syndrome (USH). In the next issue of The EMBO Journal, scientists at the Institut Pasteur report on studies that have established the first link between Myosin VIIa, Cadherin 23 and Harmonin b. These three proteins were previously known to be involved in the... view more... (2002-12-16)
Yale researchers find environmental toxins disruptive to hearing in mammals
Yale School of Medicine researchers have new data showing chloride ions are critical to hearing in mammals, which builds on previous research showing a chemical used to keep barnacles off boats might disrupt the balance of these ions in ear cells. view more (2006-04-12)
Chemical Association: REACH European Public Hearing Was Encouraging - But Needs Work
Judith Hackitt, Director General of the Chemical Industries Association (CIA), said she was impressed by the quality of debate and questions among MEPs at the European Parliament Public Hearing on REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) in Brussels on Wednesday 19 January. view more (2005-01-21)
Nutrients might prevent hearing loss, new animal study suggests
Soldiers exposed to the deafening din of battle have little defense against hearing loss, and are often reluctant to wear protective gear like ear plugs that could make them less able to react to danger. But what if a nutritious daily "candy bar" could prevent much of that potential damage to their hearing? view more (2007-03-29)
Study to assess the effects of mobile phones on hearing nears end of first phase
Scientists at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) at the University of Southampton are nearing the end of the first phase of a study to assess whether the use of mobile phones has any adverse effect on the hearing of healthy young adults. The study into Potential Adverse Effects of GSM Cellular Phones on Hearing (known by the... view more... (2003-09-25)
Stanford researcher's discovery of ion channel turns ear on its head
Scientists thought they had a good model to explain how the inner ear translates vibrations in the air into sounds heard by the brain. Now, based on new research from the Stanford University School of Medicine, it looks like parts of the model are wrong. view more (2009-04-24)
One membrane, many frequencies
Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people perceive it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of better hearing aids. view more (2007-03-28)
Researchers find lack of key molecule leads to deafness
Researchers have identified tiny molecules that may lead to big breakthroughs in the treatment of hearing loss and deafness. view more (2009-04-17)
Hearing loss from chemotherapy underestimated
By 14, Peter Johnson had survived brain cancer and a relapse of the disease in his shoulder. But it was treatment for the last tumor that would create his life's greatest challenges. view more (2005-12-12)
MRI machines may damage cochlear implants
Patients with cochlear implants may want to steer clear of certain magnetic imaging devices, such as 3T MRI machines, because the machines can demagnetize the patient's implant, according to new research published in the December 2008 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery. view more (2008-12-01)
Overactive nerves in head and neck may account for 'ringing in the ears'
