Description
The past decade has brought great advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying auditory pathologies. This volume presents recent developments in research and their potential translation to the clinical setting. It brings together the basic and clinical sciences very nicely in that while most chapters are written by basic scientists, each topic has a pretty direct clinical application or implication. Auditory Pathology: When Hearing is Out of Balance.- Genetics of Hearing Loss.- Cochlear Homeostasis and Homeostatic Disorders.- Tinnitus: Theories Mechanisms and Treatments.- Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease.- Age-Related Hearing Loss and Its Cellular and Molecular Bases.- Patterns and Mechanisms of Noise-Induced Cochlear Pathology.- Drug-Induced Hearing Loss.- Central Consequences of Cochlear Trauma.- Cell Death and Cochlear Protection.- Emerging Strategies for Restoring the Cochlea.
