From the reviews: "This book provides an overview of all areas of age-related hearing loss, from physiology to epidemiology to processing of spoken language. ... targeted at those who are interested in hearing research, advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. ... This topic is covered thoroughly in a well-balanced and comprehensive way. ... the book provides an 'overview of contemporary research trends from interrelated disciplines whose studies aim to meet this compelling need.'" (Melanie Moriarty, Doody's Review Service, April, 2010) "Designed to introduce new researchers to fundamentals and veterans to interesting areas of audiology ... . The 10 studies here are by scientists who study presbycusis - hearing loss attributed to the aging process - from the perspective of a complementary discipline such as physiology, otolayngology, neurobiology or psychology."
