A recent study indicates that 20 million people in the United
States have significant sensorineural hearing loss. Approximately
95% of those people have partial losses, with varying degrees of
residual hearing. These percentages are similar in other developed
countries. What changes in the function of the cochlea or inner ear
cause such losses? What does the world sound like to the 19 million
people with residual hearing? How should we transform sounds to
correct for the hearing loss and maximize restoration of normal
hearing?
Answers to such questions require detailed models of the way that
sounds are processed by the nervous system, both for listeners with
normal hearing and for those with sensorineural hearing loss. This
book contains chapters describing the work of 25 different research
groups.
A great deal of research in recent years has been aimed at
obtaining a better physiological description of the altered
processes that cause sensorineural hearing loss and a better
understanding of transformations that occur in the perception of
those sounds that are sufficiently intense that they can still be
heard. Efforts to understand these changes in function have lead to
a better understanding of normal function as well. This research
has been based on rigorous mathematical models, computer
simulations of mechanical and physiological processes, and signal
processing simulations of the altered perceptual experience of
listeners with sensorineural hearing loss. This book provides
examples of all these approaches to modeling sensorineural hearing
loss and a summary of the latest research in the field.
