A study reveals that tiny ear muscles flex when people focus on specific sounds in noisy environments. Once vital for movement in ancestral species, these muscles no longer serve a major function in modern humans but may hold potential for hearing aid advancements. Researchers observed that superior auricular muscles react to difficult listening tasks, while posterior…A study reveals that tiny ear muscles flex when people focus on specific sounds in noisy environments.
