Scientists at the Weizmann Institute have discovered how a membrane in the inner ear may allow us to hear different frequencies Modern hearing aids, though quite sophisticated, still do not faithfully reproduce sound as hearing people hear it. New findings at the Weizmann Institute of Science shed light on a crucial mechanism for discerning different sound frequencies and thus may have implications for the design of better hearing aids.
