However, your brain may still be struggling to interpret what you’re hearing, especially if you have age-related hearing loss.  … Read More: Have hearing loss? Here’s why you may want to try… »

Hypothesis underlying the sensitivity of mammalian auditory system overturned

A new study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus challenges a decades-old hypothesis on adaptation, a key feature in how sensory cells of the inner ear (hair cells) detect sound. The paper, out today in Science Advances, examines how hair cells transform mechanical forces arising from sound waves into a neural electrical signal,… Read More: Hypothesis underlying the sensitivity of mammalian auditory system overturned »
