Annotation: The main goal is to convey a general understanding of the perceptual changes associated with cochlear hearing loss, and of the difficulties faced by the hearing impaired person. The reader should come away with a impression not only of what happens, but also of why it happens.

Publisher Description:
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.
