SUMMARY:Hearing loss and hearing aids - Professor Brian Moore\, Department
  of Experimental Psychology
DTSTART:20120608T170000Z

CONTACT:Dr Xavier Moya
DESCRIPTION:Hearing loss affects more than 10% of the adult population in 
 most countries\, and is especially prevalent among the elderly.  The most 
 common form of hearing loss arises from dysfunction of the cochlea in the 
 inner ear.  In most cases\, the only form of treatment is via hearing aids
  or (for profound losses) cochlear implants.  In this seminar I will revie
 w some of the perceptual consequences of hearing loss\, which involve much
  more than just loss of sensitivity to weak sounds.  I will then describe 
 the signal processing that is performed in hearing aids and will consider 
 the extent to which hearing aids “compensate” for hearing loss.  Possi
 ble avenues for the future will be discussed.
