DESCRIPTION:Hearing loss affects more than 10% of the adult population in 
 most countries\, and is especially prevalent among the elderly.  The most 
 common form of hearing loss arises from dysfunction of the cochlea in the 
 inner ear.  In most cases\, the only form of treatment is via hearing aids
  or (for profound losses) cochlear implants.  In this talk I will review s
 ome of the perceptual consequences of hearing loss\, which involve much mo
 re than just loss of sensitivity to weak sounds.  I will then describe the
  signal processing that is performed in hearing aids and will consider the
  extent to which hearing aids "compensate" for hearing loss.  Possible ave
 nues for the future will be discussed.\n\n___________\n
