Hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea is amongst the most
common forms of hearing loss in the developed world and affects
approximately 70f the population. Over the last 20 years there has
been a revolution in our understanding of the mechanisms of sound
analysis in the normal cochlea. The mechanisms associated with
cochlear hearing loss are also better understood as a result. Most
advances in understanding, however, have been related to
physiological mechanisms.
Cochlear Hearing Loss, 2e focuses on the perceptual changes in
hearing associated with cochlear hearing loss and relates those to
the underlying physiological mechanisms. The book provides a
theoretical framework for understanding and interpreting the
perceptual changes in hearing experienced by sufferers so that
readers will understand not just what happens, but also why it
happens. A discussion of the limitations and benefits of hearing
aids is also provided, along with an overview of digital hearing
aids.
Topics discussed within Cochlear Hearing Loss, 2e include: the
physiology of the peripheral auditory system; absolute thresholds;
frequency selectivity and masking; loudness, pitch and speech
perception; sound localisation and binaural processing; signal
processing in hearing aids, and methods of adjusting hearing aids
to suit the individual.
"This revised and substantially updated 2nd edition contains
essential reading for audiologists, hearing-aid dispensers,
hearing-aid acousticians, researchers in hearing science,
otologists, ENT specialists and students in related
disciplines."
