Light may bring sound to the deaf

London, Nov 21 : Researchers at Northwestern University in Chicago have made a new discovery that could lead to better cochlear implants for deaf people.

They have found that infrared light can stimulate neurons in the inner ear as precisely as sound waves, reports New Scientist.

A healthy inner ear uses hair cells that respond to sound to stimulate neurons that send signals to the brain. However, hair cells can be destroyed by disease or injury, or can contain defects at birth, leading to deafness. In such cases, cochlear implants can directly stimulate neurons.

The hearing provided by implants is good enough to enable deaf children to develop speech skills that are remarkably similar to hearing children''s.
