دانلود کتاب Cochlear Hearing Loss: Physiological, Psychological and Technical Issues, Second Edition

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major changes in the way that hearing aids work, and the features they offer. This book will provide an understanding of the changes in perception that take place when a person has cochlear hearing loss so the reader understands not only what does happen, but why it happens. It interrelates physiological and perceptual data and presents both this and basic concepts in an integrated manner. The goal is to convey an understanding of the perceptual changes associated with cochlear hearing loss, of the difficulties faced by the hearing-impaired person, and the limitations of current hearing aids.Content: Chapter 1 Physiological Aspects of Cochlear Hearing Loss (pages 1–37): Chapter 2 Absolute Thresholds (pages 39–44): Chapter 3 Masking, Frequency Selectivity and Basilar Membrane Nonlinearity (pages 45–91): Chapter 4 Loudness Perception and Intensity Resolution (pages 93–115): Chapter 5 Temporal Resolution and Temporal Integration (pages 117–141): Chapter 6 Pitch Perception and Frequency Discrimination (pages 143–172): Chapter 7 Spatial Hearing and Advantages of Binaural Hearing (pages 173–199): Chapter 8 Speech Perception (pages 201–232): Chapter 9 Hearing Aids (pages 233–268):
