More exciting developments are expected from our current researchers who are pursuing interests in the fields of cochlear biophysics, cochlear and vestibular hair cell transduction, vestibular ...

A cochlear implant may benefit those with severe hearing loss. Implanted in the cochlea, it has many advantages, but there are also drawbacks. The cochlea is the spiral-shaped organ in your inner ear.

Most acoustic neuromas begin in the vestibular nerve, which helps you keep your balance. Tumor growth leads to hearing loss and balance disorders. Some acoustic neuromas begin in the cochlear nerve, ...
