Hearing Loss: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment covers hearing loss, causes and prevention, treatments, and future directions in the field, also looking at the cognitive problems that can develop.

Successful treatments of hearing loss deal with restoring hearing sensitivity via hearing aids, including cochlear, brainstem, or midbrain implants. Both the technical aspects and effects on the quality of life of these devices are discussed.

However, it is also a great reference for established audiologists, ear surgeons, neurologists, and pediatric and geriatric professionals. – Presents an in-depth overview of hearing loss, causes and prevention, treatments, and future directions in the field- Written for researchers and clinicians, such as auditory neuroscientists, audiologists, neurologists, speech pathologists, pediatricians, and geriatricians- Presents the benefits and problems with hearing aids and cochlear implants- Includes important quality of life issues
