New research reveals the unique patterns of gene expression in specific neurons in the brain that process the signals of sound and enable communication.

Digital hearing aids can, indeed, change some sounds, making them slightly sharp or flat. Here’s how to fix it.

This study suggests that this class of neurons may compensate for age-related loss of vestibular function to maintain balance performance in older animals.

Future treatments for hearing loss—including gene therapy—could come to rely on a tiny 3D-printed microneedle.

From motherhood to Mexican streets, my world is expanding even as my hearing and vision diminish.

By understanding which AAV serotype works best for delivering genetic instructions to specific brain cells and sharing this information in an open-access journal, researchers can design better experiments and potentially develop treatments for brain-related conditions.

During this season of giving, we’re proud to remind our community that Hearing Health Foundation consistently earns top ratings from trusted charity watchdogs.

There are simple strategies we can all embrace to create a more inclusive holiday experience that everyone can enjoy and to ensure our loved ones truly feel the love and joy we have for them.

I wanted to create a story that not only celebrated the beauty of differences but also conveyed the importance of empathy and understanding. My heart was set on crafting a tale that could empower children with hearing loss while also educating their peers about the significance of inclusivity. 

I’d like to share four important breakthroughs in hearing research over the past year, and how each also connects back to Hearing Health Foundation, to varying degrees. These major advances offer hope for how we might improve or restore hearing and, by extension, bring a bit more of that wonderful world into everyone’s lives.

Their experiments revealed a class of DNA control elements known as “enhancers” that, after injury, amplify the production of a protein called ATOH1, which in turn induces a suite of genes required to make sensory cells of the inner ear.
