Abstract
This chapter will introduce the reader to the purpose, content, and structure of Age-Related Hearing Loss: Causes and Consequences. In this book, recent advances in the study of age-related hearing loss are reviewed, including basic research with animal and human studies along with translational research. The book is broadly organized into several sections. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 examine age-related changes in the subcortical and cortical anatomy and physiology, drawing primarily on animal studies. Chapters 6 and 7 transition to understanding human age-related changes using electrophysiological measures. Chapter 8 places age-related hearing impairment in the context of overall health, both as an indicator and a major correlative factor in predicting health outcomes. Chapters 9 and 10 focus on behavioral and imaging changes with aging, in order to identify difficult listening situations and the cortical regions and connectivity that are most affected. Finally, Chapters 11 and 12 discuss remediation efforts using a variety of methods. Chapter 1 provides more detailed summaries of each chapter and concludes with thoughts about future directions for research on age-related hearing loss.
