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.
