Helping The Deaf Hear
Otolaryngologists develop a
new, implantable hearing
aid. It works with a
transmitter worn behind the
ear that sends sound
vibrations from her deaf
side through the skull to
her good ear. It's called

3-D Hearing Aid
In a new study, 34
normal-hearing and 18
cochlear-implant subjects
were tested on three
speech-perception tasks
known to be notoriously
difficult for
cochlear-implant users:

Two Ears Are Better Than One
Unlike other acoustical
devices such as hearing
aids, which just amplify
sounds, cochlear implants
mimic what happens inside
the ear, changing sound
waves into electrical

Breaking Sound Barriers
A new high-tech glove
enables the translation of
sign language into written
text, facilitating
communication for the
hearing or speech impaired.
The glove senses movements

Neurologists Use New Brain Scanning Device To Better Control Seizures
Doctors are now using a new kind of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which measures brain activity in real time. In some cases, MEG can pinpoint the source of an epileptic seizure much ... > more -
Physiologists Investigate The Role Of Perception In Motion Sickness
The cause of motion sickness is being investigated by a researcher with a new idea: that the cause is movement, not perceptual differences. A series of motion-sickness-inducing tests shows that those ... > more -
