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