They are cheaper to buy and don’t require a doctor’s prescription. But OTC hearing aids come with some limitations.
They are easy to get, and far less costly than prescription hearing aids. But over-the-counter devices are not the answer for everyone with hearing issues.
Noise can be so unpleasant that we regulate construction work and music concerts - but we only consider human hearing ranges.
A device could be use to transmit a camera’s video feed into moving patterns of electrical stimulation on the surface of the tongue.
We have underestimated the energy potential of our ears: deformations in the ear canal could be used to power in-ear technologies.
Understanding why the two are connected could be key in finding treatments – or even a cure – for tinnitus
It’s intriguing how some people experience ASMR while others don’t - our latest research suggests that many ASMR responders are highly sensitive “orchids”.
There is a lot to consider when buying a new pair of headphones. A professional musician and acoustics researcher explains how the science of sound and quirks of human hearing make for a great listening experience.
Wireless earphones have freed us from devices. It’s tempting to wear them all day for phone calls, podcasts and music but research into hearing aids suggests this can create a sticky problem.
If you’ve ever cringed after hearing a recording of yourself, you’re not alone.
By looking at the eye bones and ear canals of extinct dinosaurs, researchers show that a small ancient predator likely hunted at night and had senses as good as a modern barn owl.
Higher levels of stress was just one of the reasons the hearing problem may have worsened for many people.

Imagine being able to detect a smell from more than a kilometre away. Dogs can sniff out things from a greater distance than that.

Audiologists recommend enhanced communication strategies in the time of coronavirus to help the nearly 60 million Americans living with hearing loss in one or both ears.
All of the senses have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic, not because the senses have changed, but because the world has, writes a sensory historian.
Children between 12 and 16 years old with mild-to-moderate hearing loss showed differences in their brain responses.
Armstrong always insisted that he said, ‘That’s one small step for a man.’ Yet everyone omits the ‘a’ when they repeat the quote. A linguist tries to get to the bottom of what happened.
