Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Hearing Loss and Deafness: Identification, Management, Prevention, and Rehabilitation," aims to comprehensively address the many aspects and dimensions of hearing loss. With a focus on diagnosis, prevention, and both established and cutting-edge interventions, this Special Issue aims to define current practice and show case advancements in the field.
Emphasizing the importance of early identification and intervention, this Special Issue will explore new and established techniques for diagnosing hearing loss across age groups, from neonates to older adults. Incorporating the latest technologies, including genetic testing, audiometric assessments, and imaging modalities, the goal is to provide readers with a detailed and pragmatic understanding of modern hearing loss diagnostics.
This Special Issue will cover the management and rehabilitation of individuals with hearing impairments, encompassing a range of interventions from hearing aids and hearing implants to cochlear and auditory brainstem implants. Special attention will be given to emerging technologies and rehabilitative strategies aimed at optimizing auditory function and enhancing quality of life.
By inviting contributions from experts in audiology, otolaryngology, speech–language pathology, and related disciplines, this Special Issue aims to offer a diverse array of perspectives and insights. Original research and review articles from referral centers and academic institutions will enrich the discussion, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes for individuals affected by hearing loss and deafness.
