Fly's hearing ability studied to develop better hearing aids
Canada-based scientists are studying a fly's "exceptional" hearing ability using spherical treadmills to observe its directional accuracy. Scientists found the fly 'Ormia ochracea' has mechanically-coupled eardrums, which helps it from being distracted by noises and move towards the right direction. Engineers would try to develop artificial sensors based on the fly for better hearing aids, radars.
