26. Signal processing approaches on otoacoustic emissions
Abstract : The recent achievement on the measurement of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) is based on a novel technical development of digital signal processing. OAEs measured in the external ear canal are normal by-products of the active process in hearing, which was discovered by Kemp (1978). READ MORE

27. A New Audiometric Bone Vibrator, Radioear B81, and the Bone Conduction Implant with Emphasis on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract : Hearing by air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC) are attributed to be the natural ways of stimulating the cochlea. With AC hearing, the cochlea is stimulated by air pressure variations via the ear canal, whereas with BC hearing, sound vibrations are transmitted thru the skull bone to the cochlea. READ MORE

28. Bilateral cochlear implants in children : clinical and methodological studies
Abstract : A cochlear implant (CI) restores functional hearing in individuals with bilateral severe- to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Despite hearing loss in both ears, CIs are usually provided unilaterally, excluding the alleged benefits associated with bilateral auditory stimulation. READ MORE

29. Stem cell in-vitro strategies for the induction of sensory neurons for inner ear cell therapy
Abstract : The cochlea, a part of the auditory system, is a complex structure consisting of several different types of cells including hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. In mammals, the regenerative potential of hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons is lost soon after the birth and damage to any of these cells causes sensorineural hearing loss. READ MORE

30. Positional Cloning of Disease Causing Genes : A Genetic Study of Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's Disease
Abstract : Positional cloning is a method to identify genes from their position in the genome without prior knowledge about function. We used this approach to investigate the basis for three distinct genetic disorders; Obesity, Ichthyosis Prematurity Syndrome and Meniere's disease. READ MORE
