Cuticulosomes are organelles found in the hair cells of birds that are composed of ferritin nanoparticles, form rapidly after hatching by the fusion of vesicular structures, and may play an indirect role in magnetic sensation.
The mammalian utricle can better regenerate hair cells compared to the cochlea because it maintains hair cell gene loci in a more transcriptionally accessible state.
Auditory representations of natural sounds are similar in primary auditory cortex of ferrets and humans, but diverge sharply in non-primary areas for speech and music sounds.
A comprehensive battery of behavioral, electrophysiological and functional MRI techniques has allowed the development of a data-driven conceptual model of the tinnitus-hyperacusis network.
Mammalian primary sensory inner hair cells play an active role in auditory information processing, such that they show a preference for either timing or intensity coding.

Mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss causes changes in the neurophysiological functioning that emerge during adolescence, as suggested by both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.
