Summary

This second edition provides intensive review of the newest cochlear implant technology. It covers the important issues of cochlear implant candidacy evaluation, surgical treatment options, with discussion of the latest programming methods and new speech processing strategies.Written by well-known experts in the fields of otolaryngology, otology, neurotology, and speech and hearing, this text includes the most cutting edge information on bilateral cochlear implantation, electroacoustic stimulation, the totally-implantable cochlear implant, surgical techniques in both the normal and abnormal cochleae, as well as the genetics of hearing loss, medical and surgical complications, and auditory brainstem implants. This is an exceptional professional reference for the otolaryngologist, otologist, audiologist, and speech pathologist.
