Book description
The new edition of the best-selling
Otoacoustic Emissions: Clinical Applications
provides a thorough review of the complex physiology of the ear and
clinical applications of the latest research on otoacoustic emissions.
The book features new chapters on such important topics as middle ear
function enhanced by reflectance measurements and the use of otoacoustic
emissions as a preclinical measure of susceptibility to hearing loss.
Accompanying the book is a CD-ROM developed by Dr. David Kemp, Ph. D.,
which contains animations, movies, and interviews. The CD-ROM serves as
an indispensable aid to both teaching and reviewing key concepts. From
physiological phenomena to diagnostic and clinical applications, this
book is a complete reference on otoacoustic emissions that will provide
graduates in audiology and residents in otolaryngology and otology with
all the essential information needed for research and professional
practice. "A complete reference...useful for graduate students in
audiology, residents in otology, and practicing clinicians...A valuable
tool...includes an impressive list of contributors...Martin Robinette
and Ted Glattke are well known experts."--Doody's Book
Reviews_x000D_ _x000D_ Praise for the second edition:_x000D_ "This
comprehensive textbook spans a wide variety of issues ranging from
cutting edge research and theory to practical topics...Robinette and
Glattke have taken a good book and made it even better...especially
notable are the new chapters on suppression of otoacoustic emissions,
David Kemp's perspective on future applications and Michael Gorga and
colleagues' explanation of OAEs and hearing loss...should appeal to many
levels." --www. audiology. org_x000D_ _x000D_ "A comprehensive
and up-to-date book that covers the gamut of OAE issues...an excellent
review...will serve well as both an academic text and as a reference for
the practicing audiologist." --Doody's Review Journal_x000D_
_x000D_ "Fascinating...an impressive list of contributors...good
coverage of all clinical aspects...detailed summaries of recent advances
in the basic science of emissions...a valuable addition to any clinic
where OAEs are performed." --ENT News _x000D_ _x000D_
"Otoacoustic Emissions
provides an excellent coverage of the fundamental[s] of otoacoustic
emissions and their use clinically, for diagnosis and for screening. It
is especially noteworthy that a clinical text covers the basic science
to such a great extent. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of
all aspects of otoacoustic emissions that are important for its use in
hearing screening and diagnosis of hearing disorders. This book should
be a required reading for all who use otoacoustic emissions for clinical
purposes, and it is also a valuable reading for researchers in both
clinical and basic hearing science that regard the ear. The book serves
as an inspiration for improvements of currently used applications of
otoacoustic emission and for development of new applications of this
valuable clinical tool."--Otology & Neurology_x000D_ _x000D_
Acclaim for the first edition:_x000D_ _x000D_ "A marvelous text
that should be mandatory reading...An important addition to the
professional library."_x000D_ - -Audecibel_x000D_ "An
excellent reference for audiologists who wish to incorporate otoacoustic
emissions in clinical practice. I strongly recommend it." - -Volta
