Summary

Designed to help readers gain the technical expertise to add this dynamic procedure to their daily practices, this new handbook details how, when and why to use OAE for pediatric and adult patients. Dr. Hall includes the latest "hands-on" advice for measurement, analysis, and interpretation of OAE data in this evolving procedure. Troubleshooting guidelines are also included, and practical case reports highlight common pathologies and applications. Reader friendly features abound - margin notes, chapter outlines, sidebar commentaries, and questions to check understanding of the material are included.
