Effects on noise exposure on the auditory functions.

Abstract

Noise induced hearing loss is accompanied by a wide variety of hearing deficits, including threshold and suprathreshold deficits, which often prevent effective rehabilitation even when hearing aids are used. A study of the neural mechanisms responsible for deficits associated with sensorineural loss is based on neurophysiological and anatomical research. In this paper, we intend to review the basic physiological characteristics of the peripheral auditory system.
