Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the physiological role of the cochlea, and the mechanisms of cochlear hearing loss, the most common type of hearing loss in adults. This book is the first book covering this topic and aimed at the student and researcher working in the fields of psychophysics, audiology, and signal processing; the book covers the design of signal processing hearing aids. Readers in the field of auditory rehabilitation and its technology will also find this book very useful.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
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. * E F Evans, Keele University, British Journal of Audiology *
