Tinnitus Remedy: How to Stop Ringing in the Ears
Sunday 27th of May 2012 04:57:10 AM
Posted by admin / Under Ear Piercing Instrument
| One should always understand that we are all different so that it is impossible to suggest a single form of treatment that will work in every case and for every person. However, there is a very simple technique that has often shown to be effective in many cases of tinnitus (ringing in the ears.) Any person who is afflicted by this very unpleasant condition would do well to at least give this simple technique a try. To perform this technique, put the palms of your hands over your ears. The fingers are on the back of the head. The middle... |
New Hearing Device Shows Potential to Motivate People Reluctant to Wear Hearing Aids

Posted by admin / Under Ear Piercing Instrument
| It is estimated that only 20 percent of people who could benefit from hearing instruments seek help, many often waiting up to ten years from the time they could benefit from hearing amplification. Among those who try hearing instruments for the first time, acceptance can be slow and rejection rates high. Now, a new advanced technology hearing device from Oticon, Inc. shows the potential to deliver immediate benefits and motivate immediate acceptance by people new to hearing amplification. Results of a multi-center international study with first-time users conducted by researchers at Towson University in Baltimore, MD and Horzentrum in Oldenburg,... |

| University at Buffalo research showing that a new drug that eliminated tinnitus with a single dose in animal models is among the advances that will be presented at the Fifth Tinnitus Research Initiative Conference, "The Neuroscience of Tinnitus," sponsored by UB's Center for Hearing and Deafness Aug. 19-21 in Grand Island, N.Y. "The Neuroscience of Tinnitus" will explore new discoveries about the origins, diagnosis and treatment of tinnitus (the perception of sound without any acoustic stimulus), a disorder that affects 10-14 percent of Americans and is especially prevalent among Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. While various therapies can help some... |
Revolutionary biodegradable pellet targets glue ear infection

| A revolutionary biodegradable pellet which slowly releases antibiotics into the middle ear could transform the lives of thousands of children who suffer from glue ear. Scientists at The University of Nottingham have developed the tiny controlled-release antibiotic pellet which can be implanted in the middle ear during surgery to fit grommets, or small ventilation tubes. Over a period of three weeks it will release effective quantities of antibiotics to target any infection which can, in up to 20 per cent of cases, result in children having to return for a second and sometimes a third operation. The team has been... |
Waterproof hearing aid offers new hope for sufferers

| In the past, it has been impossible to find hearing aids that work in a moist environment. But now a waterproof hearing aid has been developed and it is on the market in the US, Australia and in parts of Asia including Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Trials for humidity tolerance have been carried out in Australia. THORBURN: Well the most significant thing is that for hearing aid wearers water's always been a major problem. Not just water as you think of a splash from the rain, but humidity, which gets right into the core... |
New Mechanism May Improve Hearing Aids
Sunday 27th of May 2012 04:57:10 AM
Posted by admin / Under Ear Piercing Instrument
| Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts have been researching how the human ear distinguishes between sounds with subtle differences. They have identified a particular mutation affecting the tectorial membrane inside the inner ear which interferes with the way sounds are sorted during the hearing process. Researchers hope that further study of this mechanism may lead to new hearing aids and other assistive devices that are much more effective than the models currently on the market. Scientists have long known that hair cells along the basilar membrane inside the cochlea translate sound waves into electrical impulses that... |

Ban on hearing aids is forcing out veteran New York City police officers
Sunday 27th of May 2012 04:57:10 AM
Posted by admin / Under Ear Piercing Instrument
| The New York Police Department’s policy regarding a job candidate’s hearing ability is straightforward enough: Applicants who fail a basic hearing test will not be hired as officers. But for police officers already on the job, the policy is not so clear-cut. After years of informally allowing officers to wear hearing aids, and even paying for some, the department in late 2009 began enforcing a ban on the hearing devices, forcing older officers who had them to retire and instructing younger officers to stop wearing them at work. Two of those forced to retire have filed a complaint with the... |

| New software 'hearing dummies' are part of cutting-edge research that promises to revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of hearing impairments. The work could also be used in the long-term to develop a radical new type of hearing aid that can be customised using the hearing dummy to meet the different needs of individual patients. If the procedures gain clinical acceptance, a device could reach the market within 4 years. The research is being carried out by a team at the University of Essex with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The aim has been to enable... |

New Link in Tinnitus Research

| Researchers at The University of Western Australia have shown changes in a part of the brain previously not known to be involved in tinnitus generation. The nerve cell types and the chemistry of the neural circuitry in this part of the brain differ subtly from those other parts of the brain previously thought to be involved. This means the results published in The Journal of Neuroscience could be potentially important for the future development of drug treatments. Tinnitus is a potentially debilitating disorder of hearing which is characterised by the perception of non-existent sounds, usually roaring, hissing or ringing in... |

| DETROIT – A study by Henry Ford Hospital shows a direct association between cotton swab use and ruptured eardrum. The study also shows that in most cases the rupture heals on its own and surgery is only necessary for the most severe cases. "In the past, many otolaryngologists have wondered if surgery is really necessary to treat a ruptured eardrum. The results of this study show that 97 percent of cases healed on their own within two months, proving that most cases do not require surgery," says Ilaaf Darrat, M.D., an otolaryngologist at Henry Ford Hospital and co-author of the... |

| Relief may be on the way for sufferers of tinnitus – the constant ringing in the ears that can drive people to suicide. The way the condition works has been identified by scientists, who now hope to find drug treatments for it. Tinnitus, which can develop following exposure to loud noises, infections or blockages in the ear, is caused by reduced activity of inhibitory neural pathways in the brain’s auditory centre, according to US researchers. About one in ten people suffer from it on a permanent basis. ‘This auditory imbalance leaves the patient hearing a constant ringing, buzzing or other... |

It’s Not Over When It's Over: Storing Sounds in the Inner Ear
Sunday 27th of May 2012 04:57:10 AM
Posted by admin / Under Ear Piercing Instrument
| Research shows that vibrations in the inner ear continue even after a sound has ended, perhaps serving as a kind of mechanical memory of recent sounds. In addition to contributing to the understanding of the complex process of sound perception, the results may shed light on other fascinating aspects of the auditory system, such as why some gaps between sounds are too brief to be perceived by the human ear. The study is published by Cell Press in the April 5th issue of Biophysical Journal. The inner ear contains a structure called the cochlea that serves as the organ of... |
