Cochlear hearing loss affects both the sensory and perceptual aspects of hearing, requiring specialized understanding and management. This book explains the anatomy and physiology of the cochlea and the nature of sensorineural hearing loss. It discusses causes such as noise exposure, aging, and ototoxicity. Audiological assessments, hearing aid technologies, and rehabilitative strategies are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on individualized care planning and counseling. The book supports audiology and hearing science professionals seeking deeper insight into inner ear dysfunction.
