Stanford Researchers Develop New Technology to Study Hearing

Stanford researchers have received Bio-X funding to develop a tiny moving probe to study the mechanical properties of sensory cells in the ear. Their research could lead to new treatments for hearing loss, and the probe may advance other scientists' research as well.

Interesting and comforting to see new developments. This probe may be used to aid hearing cell regeneration and better understand how the cochlear hair cells work in their normal functioning state.
