Hearing is a prerequisite for the evolution of language and thus
the development of human societies. It is the only major sense
whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates, starting with
sarcopterygians. The book explores the evolution of auditory
development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary
theories of neurosensory brain evolution, including the
telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar
papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons
to neuronal centers in the brain, and deals with how sound is
converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages.
The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2.6 billion
people by 2050. As such, the book explains and reviews hearing loss
at the molecular level to the behavioral level, and provides
suggestions to manage the loss.
