"This comprehensive textbook spans a wide variety of issues ranging from cutting edge research and theory to practical topics...Robinette and Glattke have taken a good book and made it even better...especially notable are the new chapters on suppression of otoacoustic emissions, David Kemp's perspective on future applications and Michael Gorga and colleagues' explanation of OAEs and hearing loss...should appeal to many levels." --www.audiology.org"
This is a multi-authored text, written by some of the most renowned experts in their respective fields. Of the 27 authors in the second edition, 11 are new. Many new chapters are included in this edition covering topics such as emission supression, calibration, differential diagnosis, and more! David Kemp, a pioneer in the field of otoacoustic emissions authors the lead chapter on the future of OAEs. The new edition of the best-selling "Otoacoustic Emissions: Clinical Applications" provides a thorough review of the complex physiology of the ear and clinical applications of the latest research on otoacoustic emissions. The book features new chapters on such important topics as middle ear function enhanced by reflectance measurements and the use of otoacoustic emissions as a preclinical measure of susceptibility to hearing loss. Accompanying the book is a CD-ROM developed by Dr. David Kemp, Ph.D., which contains animations, movies, and interviews. The CD-ROM serves as an indispensable aid to both teaching and reviewing key concepts.
From physiological phenomena to diagnostic and clinical applications, this book is a complete reference on otoacoustic emissions that will provide graduates in audiology and residents in otolaryngology and otology with all the essential information needed for research and professional practice.
