Joyce Shen was devastated when doctors said her firstborn, Emory, hadn't passed her newborn hearing screening. Emory was diagnosed with profound sensorineural hearing loss in both ears as an infant, meaning sounds are extremely muffled.

California’s governor vetoed a bill extending insurance coverage for kids with hearing loss, but most states now require it.

A person's hearing can be damaged by loud noise, aging and even certain medications, with little recourse beyond a hearing aid or cochlear implant.

Mice studies in California show the way to a new drug that could prevent hearing loss from loud music and aging.

They found that mutations in this gene trigger a molecular process known as the unfolded protein response (UPR), leading to the death of hair cells in the inner ear, contributing to deafness.

Researchers have found a gene that links deafness to cell death in the inner ear in humans – creating new opportunities for averting hearing loss.
