Tens of millions of years ago, our primate ancestors responded to noises in much the same way many other mammals do, pricking their ears and deftly turning them towards the sound's source. While a few ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...

The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...

It turns out the human ear got off to a fishy start. Literally. A fascinating new study reveals that the mammalian outer ear ...

Anthropometry of the human ear encompasses the systematic measurement and analysis of its dimensions and morphology. This field provides vital normative data for applications in clinical ...

In almost every species, ear movement can be a clue that the animal is trying to pay close attention to something. When people are trying hard to listen to something, the body seems to do its best to ...

The outer ear or external ear is the visible portion of the ear which serves as a protective organ for the eardrum. It gathers and controls sound waves into the middle ear. Ear Flap (Pinna) – The ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...
