Hearing and Balance
Hearing and Balance by Open University Course Team is a comprehensive exploration of auditory and balance systems, published by Open University Worldwide on March 15, 2009. This 108-page book is presented in English and delves into the nature and properties of sound waves, the anatomy of the ear, and the specialized functions of its various parts.
Readers will find detailed discussions on the mechanism of transduction, which explains how hair cells convert mechanical impulses from sound waves into electrical signals. The book also covers auditory perception, including aspects of speech and music, as well as hearing defects and their remedies. Additionally, it examines the role of the semicircular canals in maintaining balance, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the science of hearing and balance.
Official synopsis Publisher
This block explores the nature and properties of sound waves; the anatomy of the ear; and the specialised functions of the outer, middle and inner ear. It goes on to examine the mechanism of transduction (how hair cells convert the minute mechanical impulses brought about by sound waves into electrical signals); auditory perception, including both speech and music; and hearing defects and remedies. Finally, it describes the role of the semicircular canals in determining our sense of balance.
