The Aging Auditory System (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research)
By Sandra Gordon-Salant, Robert D. Frisina, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay
* Publisher: Springer
* Number Of Pages: 304
* Publication Date: 2009-11-18
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1441909923
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781441909923
Product Description:
This volume brings together noted scientists who study presbycusis from the perspective of complementary disciplines, for a review of the current state of knowledge on the aging auditory system. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is one of the top three most common chronic health conditions affecting individuals aged 65 years and older. The high prevalence of age-related hearing loss compels audiologists, otolaryngologists, and auditory neuroscientists alike to understand the neural, genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying this disorder. A comprehensive understanding of these factors is needed so that effective prevention, intervention, and rehabilitative strategies can be developed to ameliorate the myriad of behavioral manifestations.
The aim is to provide students and researchers in auditory science and aging with a understanding of the various effects of aging on the auditory system.
