For many, the frustration of hearing sounds but struggling to follow rapid conversations, especially in noisy settings, is a ...

Researchers identify a brain pathway in humans that enables rapid, unconscious fear responses to scary sounds, similar to visual fear shortcuts.

Scientists have discovered a brain pathway that explains why scary sounds can trigger fear before you even understand what you’re hearing.

Preclinical studies on animals have identified brain pathways that drive quick, protective fear responses to "scary" sounds.

A study has demonstrated a new technique for mapping the human auditory pathway, granting insights into the development of the auditory-language network in children with profound hearing loss.

Hearing is complex, involving several intricate processes and ending with higher-level processing in the brain. That being said, hearing keeps us connected with the world around us. As an audiologist, ...

Patients with chronic back pain exhibit auditory hyperresponsivity linked to specific neural pathways and multisensory sensitivity patterns.

Physiological recordings in animals, including humans, have been consistent with two pathways in auditory regions, but conclusive evidence was lacking. Now, researchers have separated the "what" and ...

Researchers have developed a non-invasive method for mapping the human auditory pathway, which could potentially be used as a tool to help clinicians decide the best surgical strategy for patients ...
