Opis

Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the physiological role of the cochlea (the inner ear), and the mechanisms of cochlear hearing loss, the most common type in adults, which results in distortions in sound perception. This is the first book to cover the topic; aimed at students and researchers in auditory rehabilitation and its technology, it explains the nature of hearing distortion and relates them to the underlying physiological mechanisms. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the changes that follow cochlear damage which had important implications not only for theories of normal perception but also the design of signal processing hearing aids.

Recenzje

a characteristically comprehensive and sure-footed contribution from the pen of Brian Moore ... It forms an exemplary addition to the Oxford psychology series ... The bulk of the volume deals in valuable detail with the main essential aspects of hearing affected by cochlear impairment ... this must be the most comprehensive and up to date review available of the perceptual consequences of cochlear hearing impairment ... It should be on the shelf of every professional in the field of hearing impairment who wants a critical outlook on the field.
