Description

Aging Auditory System, Hardcover by Gordon-salant, Sandra (EDT); Frisina, Rob.... Aging Auditory System, Hardcover by Gordon-salant, Sandra (EDT); Frisina, Robert D. (EDT); Popper, Arthur N. (EDT); Fay, Richard R. (EDT), ISBN 1441909923, ISBN-13 9781441909923, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The topical volumes in the series are designed to introduce new researchers to fundamentals and veterans to interesting areas of audiology they might not run across otherwise. The 10 studies here are by scientists who study presbycusis--hearing loss attributed to the aging process--from the perspective of a complementary discipline, such as physiology, otolayngology, neurobiology, or psychology. Among their topics are the physiology of cochlear presbycusis, the cell biology and physiology of the aging central auditory pathway, binaural processing and auditory asymmetries, effects of senescent changes in audition and cognition on spoken language comprehension, the epidemiology of age-related hearing impairment, and lessons from animal models about interventions and future therapies.
