Abstract

Hearing damage through blast is a major problem in the armed forces. Blast can cause damage to all stages of the auditory pathway: from the outer, middle and inner ear to the different parts of the brain that successively process the complex sound information. In this chapter, we give an overview of the main stages of the auditory system, their main functions and the types of impairments that can occur to them through blast. We then describe prevention, diagnostic strategies as well as treatment and rehabilitation methods. We also discuss current research into improved prevention and treatment and conclude with a brief summary.
