Noise and the brain : experience dependent developmental and adult plasticity [E-Book] / Joe J. Eggermont, Emeritus Professor of Physiology & Pharmacology, and Psychology, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
In our industrialized world, we are surrounded by occupational, recreational, and environmental noise. Very loud noise damages the inner-ear receptors and results in hearing loss, subsequent problems with communication in the presence of background noise, and, potentially, social isolation. There is...
