Full Description
Fundamental resource guides accurate diagnosis of various audiology disorders
While many audiology diagnostic tests and procedures have stood the test of time, ongoing technological advancements that continue to reshape the field have transpired since the last edition of Audiology: Diagnosis was published in 2007. The third edition, edited by nationally-renowned audiologist and educator Samuel R. Atcherson provides new and established audiologists with essentials for diagnosing hearing and balance disorders in the 21st century. Along with the updated Audiology: Treatment and Audiology: Practice Management, the three volumes deliver an invaluable and comprehensive resource for audiologists and students in graduate programs.
Featuring 27 chapters, the new edition preserves foundational topics and eliminates superfluous topics, while integrating new additions to reflect the field's ongoing evolution. The updated resource focuses primarily on audiology diagnostic and screening tools—from the peripheral to central auditory and vestibular systems—across the age continuum. New chapters include acoustic stimuli in diagnostic audiology, outer ear examination, assessment of tinnitus and hyperacusis, clinical applications for auditory steady-state responses, public health in audiology, diagnostic audiology via telemedicine, and communicating diagnostic results to patients and families.
