Everyday Audiology: A Practical Guide for Health Care Professionals

Drawn from lectures given to ENT residents and case reports conducted by clinical audiologists at WVA University School of Medicine, this practical and handy desk reference helps readers understand the essentials of audiology quickly - without sacrificing accuracy.

Divided into three parts—Evaluation of Hearing Disorders, Evaluation of Balance Disorders, and Rehabilitation of Hearing Disorders—the book visually depicts audiological diagnostic procedures, including the history and physical examination of hearing. It further describes appropriate use and interpretation of audiological evaluations, including those audiological evaluations that are available, when they are useful, and how to interpret the results meaningfully for proper diagnosis and treatment.

As a reference resource for otolaryngology residents, it contains clinically relevant norms and values that are useful for clinical interpretation and is organized for quick access by covering a given concept or procedure, with examples, figures, and tables on facing pages.
