A brain-inspired algorithm could improve word recognition accuracy in noisy situations by up to 40 percentage points.

A new discovery provides important insights into how faint sounds entering the human cochlea can be amplified enough for us to hear them.

Lots of kids are using earbuds and headphones, a poll finds. Experts share why that could be bad for hearing and what you can do about.

Eye movements can be decoded by the sounds they generate in the ear. The finding could lead to new clinical tests for hearing.

Delivering drugs into the inner ear may "represent an important step towards using gene therapy to restore hearing in humans."

Some estimates find that at least 50% of adults over 75 develop hearing problems. A new study sheds light on why.

Brain-wave data from a routine test given at birth could help diagnose autism in early infancy, say researchers.

They have no external ears, but snakes can hear and react to sound a lot more than some people might think, researchers find.

Researchers are getting closer to identifying the mechanisms that may promote cochlear hair cell regeneration in mammals to restore hearing.

Birds and fish can regain lost hearing, but mammals can't. Researchers may be getting close to identifying the mechanism that could make that happen.
