Abstract:
(text automatically translated from Italian) The lesson provides the main basics of the different types of deafness, how they can be compensated by hearing aids and on environmental measures that can be taken to prevent disability resulting from hearing loss. Are addressed in detail the anatomical and physiological structures of the auditory from the periphery up to the nerve centers of the auditory cortex, but this is preceded by the development of characteristics relating to the sound source or the frequency, intensity, time domain and also propagation phenomena. Following the deepening of diagnostic tests for the newborn, adult and elder are and then the various therapies, detailed research into the auditory prosthetic therapy either by conventional technologies (analog and digital) and through cochlear implants (or cochlear implants) . The lesson concludes with a few words on the issues of noise pollution.
