Description: This comprehensive, current, authoritative, and accurate survey of both audiometry and hearing disorders is appropriate for beginning and intermediate students alike, and is an excellent reference for all professionals. Beginning with a discussion of sound, what we hear, and how to measure hearing loss, the book continues with a systematic exploration of the pathologies likely to be found at the pinna, in the ear canal, the middle ear, the cochlea, the brainstem, and the cortical levels.

- The most interesting and informative photographs and illustrations of the pathologies likely to be encountered in a hearing clinic, provided by Dr. Michael Hawke, the world's foremost otological photographer. These illustrations help the reader to see and understand the pathologies as they discussed.

- Case Studies give both students and clinicians an illustration of the problem or procedure being discussed in a practical and easily understood manner.

- Contributions from leading experts; Dr. Anthony Jahn, whose work in auditory physiology is renown and Drs. Dean Garsteckiand Susan Erler, who have prepared the most definitive summary of the state-of-the-art of (re)habilitation of hearing loss.

- Authored by two audiologists and one otologist.

- The book represents a lifetime of clinical exposure. Working clinicians need to have a fundamental background and a ready reference to use when new and unusual cases appear. The text offers that combination.
