This book aims to impart an understanding of the changes in perception associated with cochlear hearing loss, of the difficulties faced by the hearing-impaired person and of the limitations of current hearing aids. Physiological data and perceptual data are inter-related and the book aims to present both data and concepts in an integrated way so that the reader comes away with an impression not only of what happens, but also why it happens.

Cochlear Hearing Loss,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cochlear Hearing Loss (Paperback)
Most books on hearing loss are written at a very basic level. This book explains in detail the dilemmas faced by a person with cochlear hearing loss and the limitations of current hearing aids-even digital programmable aids. This book would be appropriate for a person with a cochlear (neural) hearing loss who wants more information or for an audiologist or speech and hearing professional.
