In the depths of your inner ear lies one of biology’s most intricate sound systems. A new discovery reveals that the cochlea — the spiral-shaped organ that turns sound into electrical signals — is ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of “modes” within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, ...

Hearing researchers at Macquarie University have shown that listeners rapidly learn and adapt to the characteristics of acoustic spaces to improve their understanding of speech and have found evidence ...
