This book bridges the gap between theory and clinical application for electro-acoustic and electro-physiologic assessment of hearing loss across the age range. Strategies and techniques for screening and diagnosis of hearing loss are presented clearly and simply. The authors incorporate findings of accumulated clinical experience and recent clinical research in a readable review of electro-acoustic measures (immittance measures and otoacoustic emissions) and electro-physiologic measures (electrocochleography, ABR and ASSR) that are essential for best practice in audiology today. This book is a one-stop resource for clinicians who are responsible for the diagnostic auditory assessment of children and adults.

Joseph Kei, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Queensland, International Journal of Audiology, (2010): "... This new text provides a succinct and precise description of the clinical applications of objective assessments. The authors have done an exemplary job explaining why and how an objective assessment tool is used in ordinary clinical settings. Numerous figures and tables are integrated with the text to enhance understanding of the clinical materials by the reader." Ishara Ramkissoon, Dept of Speech Pathology and Audiology, University of Alabama, Ear & Hearing, (2011): "Objective Assessment of Hearing is an excellent first book in the Electrophysiology component of the Core Clinical Concepts Series. This book is practical and easy reading that students and practitioners will appreciate...this book's focus on clinical learning will be highly appreciated by students and clinicians. Course instructors might need to supplement reading on this topic for advanced scholarship or teaching purposes. The use of color illustrations throughout increases the book's effectiveness.
