A cochlear implant is a complex electronic device that can improve hearing in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. While the implant does not restore normal hearing and differs from hearing aids, which amplify ...

Addressing chronic hearing loss

Even though chronic hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic conditions for people 65 and older, less than 20% seek help for it, says Michael Hefferly, Ph.D., an audiologist at Rush. One reason: lack of awareness. ...

New record: Laser for surgery cuts bone deeper than before

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough. Researchers at the University of Basel have now demonstrated a way ...

Smarter tissue and organ repair thanks to next-gen hydrogel

A multidisciplinary team have built hydrogels built entirely from synthetic peptides so their properties can be precisely tailored through chemical design. By harnessing the power of collagen-inspired peptides and light-triggered ...
