This research shows that it is possible to design gene therapies for the ear that are carefully targeted at supporting cells, an essential first step in applying targeted gene therapies to treat hearing loss in humans.

Our friends at Help America Hear want to share that their high school scholarship competition is open for high school seniors with hearing loss using hearing aids, cochlear implants, or bone anchored hearing aids. The essay application is due March 30.

One cost assessment method that has been increasingly used in medical literature is called “time-driven activity-based costing.” TDABC allows for a detailed step-by-step analysis of a process and its costs, which helps identify opportunities for reducing unnecessary costs and streamlining the process.

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.
