PDF-(READ)-Disorders of the Auditory System

Disorders of the Auditory System covers both classic as well as new disorders of the auditory system and reflects the combined efforts of renowned audiologists and otologists Perhaps for the first time both the audiological and medical aspects of auditory dysfunction associated with disorders of the peripheral and central auditory system will be covered in one text This book provides numerous insightful case studies that will provide informative reading for professionals in the fields of audiology otology and neurology. Overview. Capabilities of the Auditory System. What does the auditory system do and how well does it do it?. Hearing Sensitivity. The faintest sound that can be detected by the human ear is so weak that it moves the ear drum a distance that is equivalent to . What is a Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD). CAPD is a disorder that affects the way the brain processes auditory information. Individuals with CAPD have normal hearing but they have trouble recognizing and interpreting auditory information. .

This volume covers gene expression, mutations responsible for various forms of hearing loss, mapping and cloning, as well as mitochondrial and cellular genetics. The authors discuss the fundamentals of genetics so that the reader has a complete understanding of methods used in molecular genetic studies for hearing research. Chapters are also included on the uses of mouse models, genetic epidemiology and genetic counseling specifically for hearing disorders Disorders of the Auditory System covers both classic as well as new disorders of the auditory system and reflects the combined efforts of renowned audiologists and otologists.

The function of vertebrate hearing is served by a surprising variety of sensory structures in the different groups of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. This book discusses the origin, specialization, and functional properties of sensory hair cells, beginning with environmental constraints on acoustic systems and addressing in detail the evolutionary history behind modern structure and function in the vertebrate ear. Taking a comparative approach, chapters are devoted to each of the vertebrate groups, outlining the transition to land existence and the further parallel and independent adaptations of amniotic groups living in air. The volume explores in depth the specific properties of hair cells that allowed them to become sensitive to sound and capable of analyzing sounds into their respective frequency components. Evolution of the Vertebrate Auditory System is directed to a broad audience of biologists and clinicians, from the level of advanced undergraduate students to professionals interested in learning more about the evolution, structure, and function of the ear.
