Bio-inspired ear probe may enhance early hearing loss diagnosis
Binghamton University Assistant Professor Jian Zhou, PhD '18, will lead a five-year, $1.84 million project funded by the National Institutes of Health to create a dual-sensing ear canal probe that will more accurately and reliably detect otoacoustic emissions.
NIH Awards $1.84M to Develop Spider-Inspired Ear Canal Probe for OAE Detection
A Binghamton University-led team is using bio-inspired flow microphone technology — modeled on how spiders sense sound through their webs — to develop a dual-sensing ear canal probe designed to detect otoacoustic emissions with greater accuracy and reliability. A five-year, $1.84 million National Institutes of Health grant will fund the development of a novel dual-sensing ear canal probe that combines particle velocity sensing with traditional a…
[This article was originally published on February 11, 2026] The symptoms of tinnitus refer to heard noises without a real sound cause. Bounces, whistles, sneezes... These hearing perceptions affect a growing number of people. Often minimized, they can nevertheless signal the first signs of hearing disorder. By better understanding their origin, the researchers hope to improve prevention. They also want to better manage these invisible but very …
If you hear worse or worse at once, don't take it lightly. A timely hearing test can help you find the cause.
New Ear Probe to Detect Hearing Issues Is Based on How Spiders 'Hear' Through Their Webs
BYLINE: Chris Kocher Newswise — Binghamton University Assistant Professor Jian Zhou, PhD ’18, will lead a five-year, $1.84 million project funded by the National Institutes of Health to create a dual-sensing ear canal probe that will more accurately and reliably detect otoacoustic emissions. Zhou will collaborate with co-investigators Distinguished Professor Ronald Miles at Binghamton University and Professor Christopher Shera at the Un…
