Special Topics is the third book in a three-book series series focused on Translational Perspectives in Auditory Neuroscience. The book interweaves both basic and applied research, and hence provides "translational" perspectives on "hot topics" in hearing science. The first book in the series is Normal Aspects of Hearing. The second book is Hearing Across the Lifespan-Assessment and Disorders and provides "translational" perspectives on current topics in hearing science. All three books in the series are also available to purchase as a bundle.
