Color Atlas of Otology: Diagnosis and Management presents brilliant photographs of different otological disorders. The book has been divided into four sections covering all aspects of ear pathology, radiology, and surgical and postsurgical outcomes. All images are accompanied by a brief discussion about the disease and its management. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of temporal bone has changed the scenario in cases of cholesteatoma and its complications, and a chapter has been added to give a detailed outlook on this. There are step-by-step detailed photographs of surgical procedures with explanations; the surgical steps are given in detail so that postgraduates and consultants can use them as a surgical road map to a particular disease. Salient features: Detailed color photographs of different ear pathologies. CT scans of temporal bone for different complicated pathologies of ear diseases. Step-by-step detailed images of different surgical procedures.

Hearing, health and technologies are entangled in multi-faceted ways. The edited volume addresses this complex relationship by arguing that modern hearing was and is increasingly linked to and mediated by technological innovations.

Dette kompendie henvender sig til lærere eller andre fagprofessionelle med relation til et skolebarn med høretab. Kompendiet beskriver ny og opdateret viden om børn med høretab og giver svar på en række problemstillinger, man som lærer står i, når man skal modtage et barn med høretab i klassen. Viden giver handlemuligheder, og derfor er det relevant for eksempel at vide, hvad konsekvenserne af et høretab er, og hvad man som lærer kan gøre for at øge trivsel og ligeværdig inklusion. Find svar på, hvilke indsatser der virker og understøtter barnet med høretab og giver mulighed for, at han/hun/de kan udvikle sig på linje med jævnaldrende med typisk hørelse. Kompendiet er inddelt i afsnit, der bevæger sig fra det teoretiske til det praktiske. Kompendiet kan med fordel læses kronologisk, fordi man på den måde får vigtig baggrundsinformation, men man kan også læse de enkelte afsnit ud fra interesse.

Much research has been conducted to provide researchers and hearing healthcare professionals with updated information in regard to hearing assessments, results interpretation and case management. This ongoing research is particularly imperative to guide clinicians with optimized methods in assessing and managing pediatric patients with hearing impairment and disability. As such, tremendous research efforts have been made in determining the most optimum methods in assessing hearing using both subjective and objective tests. Since hearing loss can occur due to disrupted peripheral and/or central auditory pathway, there is also a growing interest to study children with auditory processing disorder (APD). Even though notable achievements have been observed in understanding APD, more research is required, particularly in establishing a gold standard APD test and its specific interventions. Aditionally, having an objective test such as speech-evoked auditory brainstem response is beneficial to understand how speech sounds are encoded within the brainstem region in hearing-impaired children, as well as in those with compromised neural function. In this book, we have gathered research from Malaysia and India in this field and hope it will be of interest to our readers.

Hearing loss is one the commonest disabling diseases affecting populations of all ages worldwide. The impairment of hearing may be the cause of impaired language development in children, the cause of scholarly issues in adolescents, the cause of worsening of quality of life in the adults, and the cause of isolation of aged people. In this book, the authors present the hearing loss in all its facets, starting from the basis of pathophysiology and anatomy, passing through the clinical and instrumental diagnosis and, finally, describing the most important diseases causing hearing loss with reasonable treatment options. A section was dedicated to the imaging of the ear with about 100 original figures. The readers will find a complete classification of genetic hearing loss and all information related to congenital deafness as well. A wide section was reserved to the description and discussion of the most important pathology leading to hearing loss (Meniere''s disease, otosclerosis, trauma and occupational hearing impairment, etc.). The treatment of hearing loss is continuously evolving with the progress of technology, and the authors gave a wide space to describe all treatment options available for the patients, providing all information useful to manage hearing disease correctly.
