COVID-19 Results In Hearing Loss

Hearing loss and other auditory problems are strongly said to be associated with Covid-19 as per a study led by Professor Munro at the University of Manchester and NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), published in the ...

New Implant Improves Balance in People With Inner Ear Disorder

A new stimulator helps facilitate walking, relieve dizziness, and improve patients' quality of life with bilateral vestibular hypofunction (BVH), a inner ear disorder. Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers had surgically implanted a stimulator ...

Ringing Sensation in the Ear (Tinnitus) Worsens During COVID-19 Pandemic

Patients with tinnitus (a ringing sensation in the ear) have reported that during this pandemic their hearing condition is worsening. Hearing specialists commented that this may be due to stress or changes in the patient’s normal routine. ...

New Theory Explains Link Between Hearing Loss and Dementia

There is a common underlying cause for hearing loss and dementia in the brain's memory centers. The memory center that manipulates noise is also the most common site for the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Hearing loss during mid-life account for ...

Link Between Hearing Loss and Neurocognitive Deficits

In childhood cancer survivors, severe hearing loss was linked to neurocognitive deficits independent of the type of therapy, said St. Jude Children's Research Hospital researchers. The work appears as an advance online publication today in JAMA ...

Age-Related Hearing Loss Caused by Loss of Hair Cells, Study

Proteins That Might Restore Damaged Sound-detecting Cells in the Ear Discovered

A pair of proteins that precisely control when sound-detecting cells, known as hair cells are born in the mammalian inner ear have been discovered by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers. The proteins, described in a report published in eLife, may ...

Damaged Sound Detection Cells In The Ear Restored Using New Proteins

Irreversible deafness may be recovered in the future using the newly identified proteins. Using genetic tools in mice, researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have identified a pair of proteins that precisely control when sound-detecting ...

New Guideline to Improve Awareness on Sudden Hearing Loss

A new guideline to improve implementation and awareness on sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) has been issued by The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation and published in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. SSNH ...
