International Archives of Otorhinolaryngology, 2009 Introduction: The stapedial reflex is a stapedial muscle contraction located in the middle ear, induced by an intense acoustic stimulus. It is expected that individuals with auditory thresholds within the normality standards have stapedial reflexes once ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Clinical applications of the human brainstem responses to auditory stimuli [PDF]
A technique utilizing the frequency following response (FFR) (obtained by auditory stimulation, whereby the stimulus frequency and duration are mirror-imaged in the resulting brainwaves) as a clinical tool for hearing disorders in humans of all ages is ...

A case of auditory neuropathy revealed by OTOF gene mutation analysis in a junior high school girl
Journal of Otology, 2017 Objective: Congenital auditory neuropathy (AN) affects hearing and speech development. The degree of hearing difficulty in congenital AN varies as a function of pathology at the inner ear hair cell (IHC) synapses or the auditory nerve.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

A ratchet mechanism for amplification in low-frequency mammalian hearing
, 2010 The sensitivity and frequency selectivity of hearing result from tuned amplification by an active process in the mechanoreceptive hair cells. In most vertebrates the active process stems from the active motility of hair bundles.

Statistical shape modeling of the human inner ear through micro‐computed tomography imaging
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.In this study, 54 cadaveric temporal bone specimens underwent high‐resolution micro‐CT imaging. Images were semi‐automatically segmented and converted to 3D surface mesh models for morphological measurement and analysis. Statistical shape models were created for the inner ear, cochlea, and vestibular system, as well as for sex‐ and side‐based subgroups.
