This book is structured on evaluation of recent diagnostic tools (genetic, audiological, and radiological) and the consequences of hearing loss in children completed by nonsurgical and surgical modalities, including the latest in the form of Auditory Brainstem Implants. It also explores cutting edge treatments in the form of genetic therapeutic modalities. It dives into the causes of hearing loss, both conductive and sensorineural, and addresses how to treat them. This book is a text that unifies all of these subjects into one, written by the most eminent and deeply respected authors and researchers in the field.
