Ears are arguably one of the most important features of the body and a defining feature for most of us. But they don't just control our hearing, there's a lot more going on inside. They are essential ...

Researchers in Switzerland have 3D printed the most true-to-life human ear yet created in a laboratory using patients’ own cartilage cells. For more than three decades, scientists have been trying to ...

A human ear attached to a woman’s foot sounds like a stunt from a horror film, yet it is the centerpiece of a real, carefully planned medical rescue. In a world first, surgeons in China temporarily ...

Microsurgery just achieved what seemed impossible: Chinese surgeon Qiu Shenqiang successfully grafted a human ear onto a patient’s foot as a life-saving reconstructive measure. The procedure, ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels natural. The study offers the promise of grafts ...

Vestigial human ear muscles react to sounds even if the external ear does not move. This could be used to build better earing aids. If you hear something interesting, you might prick up your ears.

The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...

The ears are arguably one of the most important features of the human body. They allow us to hear the world around us every day, but that’s not all. Inside our ears is a complex structure that helps ...

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and feels ...
