A Special Issue on "The Journey of Hearing and Hearing-Related Disorders over Time" is now available here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/B57567CJJO.
Hearing is a critical sense, which is a prerequisite for interpersonal communication, perception of the environment, and social interaction. However, hearing competence is not a stable capability but changes over time due to various reasons such as aging, acquired diseases, infections, environmental influences, and more.
This special issue welcomes original research articles and systematic reviews on the development of hearing or hearing-related disorders (e. g. tinnitus or hyperacusis) over time, the impact of an interaction between hearing loss and hearing-related disorders on the progress, the influence of potential treatments and methods to evaluate progression of hearing loss over time.
