Background. There are about 1.6 billion GSM cellular phones in use throughout the world today. Numerous papers have reported various biological effects in humans exposed to electromagnetic fields ...

This retrospective study was undertaken to assess the correlation between click-evoked auditory brainstem responses and behavioral hearing tests. We recruited a total of 16646 infants born in ...

Increasing the expression of a protein responsible for maintaining neuron health led to better-than-normal processing of auditory information, according to a new study. The findings open the door to ...

The advent of auditory prostheses has revolutionised the management of profound hearing loss. Cochlear implants (CIs) have long been established as an effective treatment for individuals with ...

A new study co-led by Mass General Brigham researchers points to a promising new type of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) that could benefit people who are deaf due to Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) ...

Investigators are developing a new type of auditory brainstem implant that is designed to be soft, and flexible and address limitations of models currently in use. These implants may one day benefit ...

The soft auditory brainstem implant (ABI) developed at EPFL is designed to gently conform to brain tissue, enhancing signal precision and patient comfort. Over the last couple of decades, many people ...

Scientists have developed a new flexible auditory brainstem implant, which closely conforms to the curved surface of the brainstem. EPFL researchers claimed that the technology has successfully ...
