Otoacoustic Emissions: Clinical Applications

by Martin S. Robinette (Editor), Theodore J. Glattke (Editor)

Overview

A new edition of a best-selling text with a CD-ROM by Dr. David Kemp

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.

Editorial Reviews

This book consists of 14 chapters with contributions from 24 authors providing an overview of the topic of otoacoustic emissions (OAE), including normal characteristics for major types of OAE and findings in selected clinical populations. OAE have recently emerged as a valuable clinical tool in the assessment of auditory function. The book serves as an introduction to OAE for graduate-level audiology students and those clinicians who lack formal course work on the topic. This is textbook for graduate-level audiology students or for practicing clinical audiologists. It also might be of interest to otolaryngologists and basic hearing scientists concerned with cochlear function. The book is edited by two authors who are well-known for their research and clinical experience with OAE. It begins with an introduction by the discoverer of OAE, Dr. David Kemp. All contributors have published on the topic of OAE and the information is current. The book presents a detailed review of OAE. The focus is on information underlying the understanding of OAE, rather than on clinical protocols, guidelines for interpretation, and troubleshooting. Clinicians are likely to be disappointed by the lack of easy-to-find practical information. Also, there is a distinct emphasis on transient versus distortion product OAE. The were numerous errors in the citation of references, particularly for chapter 3. Nonetheless, as the first book devoted exclusively to OAE, it will be welcomed by the audiology community.

A complete reference...useful for graduate students in audiology, residents in otology, and practicing clinicians...A valuable tool...includes an impressive list of contributors...Martin Robinette and Ted Glattke are well known experts.—Doody's Book Reviews

Praise for the second edition: "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

"A comprehensive and up-to-date book that covers the gamut of OAE issues...an excellent review...will serve well as both an academic text and as a reference for the practicing audiologist." —Doody's Review Journal

"Fascinating...an impressive list of contributors...good coverage of all clinical aspects...detailed summaries of recent advances in the basic science of emissions...a valuable addition to any clinic where OAEs are performed." —ENT News

"Otoacoustic Emissions provides an excellent coverage of the fundamental[s] of otoacoustic emissions and their use clinically, for diagnosis and for screening. It is especially noteworthy that a clinical text covers the basic science to such a great extent. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of otoacoustic emissions that are important for its use in hearing screening and diagnosis of hearing disorders. This book should be a required reading for all who use otoacoustic emissions for clinical purposes, and it is also a valuable reading for researchers in both clinical and basic hearing science that regard the ear. The book serves as an inspiration for improvements of currently used applications of otoacoustic emission and for development of new applications of this valuable clinical tool."—Otology & Neurology

Acclaim for the first edition: "A marvelous text that should be mandatory reading...An important addition to the professional library." - -Audecibel

"An excellent reference for audiologists who wish to incorporate otoacoustic emissions in clinical practice. I strongly recommend it." - -Volta Review
