Repost from @nihgov A cross-section of an inner ear “organoid,” or mini inner ear, created by human stem cells. Sound-responding hair cells (red) of the inner ear are topped with hair cell bundles (yellow). #Ear organoids could allow researchers to easily model and test therapies for #hearing and balance disorders.⠀ ⠀ Credit: Karl R.

Type II Neurons in the Mouse Cochlea por NIH Image Gallery Por Flickr: Type II neurons (green) in the mouse cochlea contact many hair cells, but make up only a small fraction of the neurons in the auditory nerve—the nerve that sends sound information from the ear to the brain. Scientists are just beginning to study the role of Type II neurons in hearing.

Speech disorders, like pronouncing “f” as “s”, affect about 5% of children by the first grade. What causes most speech disorders, like stuttering, isn’t well understood, although scientists funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are looking into how the brain produces speech. The hope is to find the genetic causes, and perhaps a biological cure, along with improving speech therapy.

New Research Platform to Improve Hearing-Aid Technologies
A team of engineers from the University of California San Diego and audiologists from San Diego State University has set out an ambitious timetable for delivering two new electronic platforms to dramatically improve and accelerate research on better hearing aids. Led by Qualcomm Institute research scientist Harinath Garudadri as well as UCSan Diego co-principal investigators and Electrical and…

For the first time, scientists have used gene therapy to correct defective structures in the inner ears of newborn mice, according to results of a new study by researchers from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health. The mice had a type of hereditary deafness also found in humans.
NIDCD scientists have, for the first time, used gene therapy to fix inner ear defects in newborn mice.
