We have previously shown that the dysfunctions of immunocompetent cells, but not abnormalities in the cochlea, cause the development of autoimmune sensori-neural hearing loss resulting from the ...

cochlear implants bypass nonfunctional or missing cochlear hair cells and directly stimulate surviving spiral ganglion cells of the distal cochlear nerve, enhancing both audibility and speech ...

Peripheral hearing loss is typically categorized as conductive (caused by impairment of the outer or middle ear) or sensorineural (caused by dysfunction in the cochlea or spiral ganglion).

This type is caused by a loss of neurons in the spiral ganglion. Audiometrically ... and will not be discussed further. Conductive cochlear presbycusis. This type is caused by an age-determined ...

"The cochlea, and in particular the hearing organ ... Several proteins were observed within the spiral ganglion, which contains the neuronal cell bodies that innervate the hair cells in the ...

New Math Model Finds That The Cochlea's Spiral Shape Enhances Low Frequencies Date: May 11, 2006 Source: Vanderbilt University Summary: For decades, hearing experts thought that the cochlea's ...

Elizabeth Ketchum’s poster titled "GATA3 and NEUROD1 Regulate the Projection of Spiral Ganglion Neurons from the Cochlea to the Cochlear Nucleus" looks at how the afferent neurons of the inner ear ...

Information about timing, frequency, and intensity of sounds is transmitted from the hair cells in the cochlea to the brain via spiral ganglion neurons by converting sound waves into nerve impulses.

Hearing ability can be improved with hearing aids or cochlear implants, but to this day there is no causal treatment for hearing impairments. Hair cells and spiral ganglion cells form very early ...

The blue spiral in the center of this field of green and white cells looks as if it might be a seashell. However, it is actually the cochlea of a newborn mouse. The cochlea is an organ in the inner ...
