Book description
Diseases of the ear make up a large part of primary practice and can be
challenging to diagnose and treat, especially for clinicians whose
knowledge and expertise in otology may be limited. Concise and
easy-to-read, here is your guide to almost everything that can go wrong
with the ears - a brief clinical encyclopedia of ear disease. The book

practice, and cuts through to important truths about ear symptoms,
