Hearing An Introduction And Practical Guide (Pb 2016) Paperback

Hearing is crucial for effective communication, allowing us to localize sounds with remarkable precision and detect even the smallest time differences, such as the time it takes for sound to travel from one person's mouth to another's ear. Despite its importance, hearing loss is often underdiagnosed, not well understood, and a leading cause of social isolation. Hearing: An Introduction and Practical Guide offers a fundamental understanding of hearing science, the causes of hearing loss, and how to clinically assess and treat it. The book is structured into three sections. The first reviews the anatomy, physiology, and principles of hearing. The second focuses on clinical and audiological assessments, as well as ear imaging techniques. The third section delves into the various causes of hearing loss, their management, and hearing rehabilitation options. Clear, concise, and thorough, Hearing: An Introduction and Practical Guide is an invaluable resource for ENT surgeons, general practitioners, and trainees, providing a practical reference for assessing and managing hearing loss in patients.
