This work proposes an active road noise control (RNC) system that effectively controls non-stationary noise inside the cabin by using a data-driven model to predict primary noise in passenger’s ears ...

Researchers in the UK have received approval to conduct the first ever human trials for a stem cell treatment to reverse ...

Recent headlines in the United Kingdom earlier this year attributed noise-canceling headphones as a possible culprit in ...

People can intuitively sense how biodiverse a forest is just by looking at photos or listening to sounds, and their gut ...

A single shot of gene therapy restored hearing in people born deaf, with most showing improvement within weeks and some ...

How Do Hearing Aids Work? Hearing aids work by amplifying sound through a three-part system: The microphone receives sound and converts it into a digital signal. The amplifier increases the strength ...

The OTOF gene encodes otoferlin, a protein that plays a critical role in hearing. It helps transmit sound signals from the ...

Nicotinic receptors — a family of ligand-gated ion channels that mediate the effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine — are among the most well understood allosteric membrane proteins ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

These receptors also have a large cytoplasmic loop that is involved in receptor biosynthesis, assembly, transport, clustering, anchoring and modulation, but its structure is outside the scope of ...
