Stanford-developed probe aids study of hearing

Stanford engineers and medical researchers have developed a tiny tool known as a force probe to study sensory cells in the ear, as Anthony Peng, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow in otolaryngology, and Anthony Ricci, PhD, professor of otolaryngology, discuss in this brief video. A Stanford News article provides more details on this Bio-X project and how, in contributing to scientists' understanding of how we interpret sound, the findings could inform new ways of treating some forms of hearing loss.
