However, inner ear fluid levels reliably assess what is going on inside the inner ear," Oghalai said. "We have lots of treatment options available, but it often takes many weeks to figure out what ...

An accumulation of fluid in the inner ear is a somewhat rare disorder known as Meniere’s disease. It is estimated to affect about 615,000 adults in the United States, with 45,000 new cases ...

“ Previously, inner ear fluid buildup was thought to be primarily linked to Meniere’s disease. This study indicates that people exposed to loud noises experience similar changes,” he said.

Millions of years ago marine animals had hearing organs that allowed them to detect sounds in the water. When land dwelling animals evolved they now had to detect environmental sounds that traveled ...
