Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common form of hearing loss, resulting from damage to the hair cells in the
inner ear or problems with the nerve pathways that convert sound waves from the
inner ear to the brain.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is brought on by specific head movements which cause crystals in the
inner ear to move into the wrong position.
Therefore, with respect to both
inner ear BC mechanisms of fluid inertia (mechanism 3) and distortion (mechanism 4), the displacements of the oval window would then be greater and more similar to those of the round window.
All these stimulate the
inner ear, bringing on the vertigo attacks.
When fluid from the
inner ear begins to move out to compensate for the dehydration, it triggers the imbalance.
Nowadays, cochlear implant system which has been successfully applied all over the world can recover hearing ability of these patients.1,2 For a successful cochlear implant surgery, anatomical structures of the
inner ear and auditory nerve should be intact.
Eri Hashino and Karl Koehler, however, have derived methods for generating
inner ear organoids from pluripotent stem cells in a dish.
The researchers noticed that skin was a byproduct of the
inner ear growth process.
Both Proxl and prospero play important roles in the development of various embryonic tissues and organs, such as the central nervous system [18,19] and
inner ear [7, 20,21].
Doctors do not take biopsies of the
inner ear. This is because it is very difficult to reach without causing problems to other structures around it.
