Yale researchers discovered new cochlear hearing modes that influence how the ear amplifies sound and processes frequencies.

“If we can engineer an ear, that would be a better approach.” Spector’s team used 3D printing to create an anatomically accurate template of a human ear from polylactic acid bioink, a biocompatible ...

The human ear has a complex, previously unidentified set of "modes," which Yale physicists have found. These modes place significant limitations on how the ear can detect a remarkable range of ...
