In an effort to better understand how the inner ear can hear the quietest of noises, researchers from Yale University ...

Cleaning wireless earbuds with detachable silicone tips, like the AirPods Pro or JBL Reflect Flow Pro, is simpler due to the ...

Human ears try to move while listening to a sound, a recent study by Saarland University in Germany has revealed. Movement of ears is a common trait in animals, which not only help them focus on a ...

Andreas Schroer, the lead researcher from Saarland University in Germany, explained that it's thought our ancestors lost the ability to move their ears around 25 million years ago. However, it's hard ...

The muscles that enable modern humans to wiggle their ears likely had a more important job in our evolutionary ancestors. . | Credit: Khmelyuk/Getty Images The little muscles that enable people to ...

Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

A mechanism that activates specific muscles in our ears is a leftover from our evolutionary past, back when our ancestors depended more on their hearing for survival.

The human ear has a complex, previously unidentified set of "modes," which Yale physicists have found. These modes place significant limitations on how the ear can detect a remarkable range of ...

Research links human outer ears to cartilage in fish gills. Gene-editing experiments confirm evolutionary connection. Findings date back to marine invertebrates 400 million years ago.

Some people experience fluttering sounds in the ears that come and go ... Accumulation may occur from overproduction or a lack of self-cleaning. When earwax accumulation causes hearing loss ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of gene-editing experiments.

To test whether enhancer activity — and therefore gene regulation — is similar in fish gills and human outer ears, Crump and his colleagues inserted human outer ear enhancers into zebrafish ...
