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. However, the perceptual changes that accompany cochlear damage have been neglected, and this book provides a theoretical framework for understanding and interpreting these perceptual changes.

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.

Chapter 1 - The physiology and function of the normal and damaged cochlea ; Chapter 2 - Absolute thresholds and frequency selectivity in normal and impaired hearing ; Chapter 3 - Loudness perception and intensity resolution in people with normal and impaired hearing ; Chapter 4 - Effects of cochlear damage on temporal resolution and temporal integration ; Chapter 5 - Pitch perception and frequency discrimination in normally hearing and hearing-impaired people ; Chapter 6 - Sound localization and binaural hearing in normal and hearing-impaired people ; Chapter 7 - Speech perception by people with cochlear damage ; Chapter 8 - Limitations and potentials of hearing aids
