While hereditary hearing loss presents challenges, the latest innovations in hearing technology, combined with strong family support, allow those affected to thrive. Hearing loss is one of the most ...

Mutations in a gene known as CPD play a crucial role in a rare form of congenital hearing loss, an international team of researchers has discovered. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

A team of scientists from the University of Sharjah say they have invented a biosensor capable of detecting the gene mutations responsible for the loss of hearing. The sensor, comprising nanoparticles ...

Researchers at the John T. Macdonald Department of Human Genetics and the John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have found that inherited ...

The tale of Opal Sandy, a deaf baby, has captured widespread interest. Restoring her hearing through gene therapy holds potential for individuals with genetic deafness and other inherited conditions.

Researchers have found a gene that links deafness to cell death in the inner ear in humans – creating new opportunities for averting hearing loss. A person's hearing can be damaged by loud noise, ...

A treatment that is effective against hearing loss caused by the 'MPZL2 gene' mutation has been developed. A research team ...

Young adult mice with a genetic form of progressive deafness can hear again after being treated with an experimental CRISPR gene therapy that its creators hope to eventually use in humans. In an ...

Fruit fly models of deficiency in a gene called CPD show defects in Johnston’s organ (JO), a sensory organ on the antennae that helps sense gravity, wind flow, and near-field sound. This confocal ...
