''Cochlear Implants: Audiologic Management and Considerations for Implantable Hearing Devices'' provides comprehensive coverage of the audiological principles and practices pertaining to cochlear implants and other implantable hearing technologies. This is the first and only book that is written specifically for audiologists and that exhaustively addresses the details involved with the assessment and management of cochlear implant technology. Additionally, this book provides a through overview of hybrid cochlear implants, implantable bone conduction hearing technology, middle ear implantable implants, and auditory brainstem implants.Key Features:*Previously, audiology students and clinicians would need to purchase multiple textbooks to gain access to the comprehensive information contained in this book.*Each chapter features an abundance of figures supporting the clinical practices and principles discussed in the text and enabling students and clinicians to more easily understand and apply the material to clinical practice.*The information in this book is evidence based and whenever possible is supported by up-to-date peer-reviewed research.*This textbook provides comprehensive coverage of complex information and sophisticated technology in a manner that is student-friendly and in an easily understandable narrative form.*The concepts covered in the narrative text are presented clearly and then reinforced through additional learning aids including case studies and video examples.*Includes bolded key terms and a comprehensive glossary to improve retention of the material.*Full color design with numerous figures and illustrations''Cochlear Implants'' is the perfect choice for graduate level courses covering implantable hearing technologies because the book provides a widespread yet intricate description of every implantable hearing technology available for clinical use today. This textbook is an invaluable resource and reference for both audiology graduate students and clinical audiologists who work with implantable hearing devices. Furthermore, this book supplements the evidence-based clinical information provided for a variety of implantable hearing devices with case studies and clinical videos demonstrating basic management procedures and practices on a PluralPlus companion website.

Leverages real-life cases to foster in-depth understanding of pediatric audiologyPediatric Audiology Casebook, Second Edition is fully updated with more than 60 new cases presented in four sections, covering all facets of the diagnosis and management of hearing disorders in children. Renowned experts Jane R. Madell, Carol Flexer and rising stars Jace Wolfe and Erin C. Schafer have compiled an impressive compendium of basic to complex diagnostic cases, covering the most salient topics in the field. The book effectively bridges the gap between content knowledge and clinical application, enabling readers to put acquired theory into active practice by engaging in problem-based learning.Key FeaturesAll cases include key information for diagnosing and managing pediatric patients: clinical history, audiologic testing, evaluative reader questions, thought-provoking answers, definitive diagnosis, recommended treatment options, and final outcomeExpanded use of cochlear implants including implant performance issuesOvercoming challenges-from family non-compliance and complicated mapping-to professional collaboration and multidisciplinary assessmentsPaired with the best-selling textbook Pediatric Audiology: Diagnosis, Technology, and Management, Third Edition, this robust classroom duo is an essential resource for instructors and students alike. Acquire in-depth knowledge from the textbook, apply it to practical case studies, and achieve deeper understanding of the full spectrum of pediatric audiology.This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.

Cochlear implants offer significant benefits for children and adults with severe to profound hearing loss; however, to realize these benefits, the device must be carefully and correctly programmed. With current information on cochlear implant technology, Programming Cochlear Implants, Third Edition, a volume in the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series, is a valuable guide for clinicians providing services to cochlear implant users or as a teaching tool for graduate-level studentsProgramming Cochlear Implants, Third Edition introduces the basics of cochlear implant hardware and programming and continues through advanced programming techniques, with manufacturer-specific information and case studies. The text reviews clinical protocols for cochlear implant management; programming considerations for bilateral cochlear implant; troubleshooting during the programming process; device-specific programming techniques; use of objective measures to set cochlear implant programs; use of assistive listening devices with cochlear implants; and providing support to difficult-to-program users, such as infants, individuals with cognitive impairment, persons with disabilities, and so forth.New to the Third EditionThe latest hardware innovations in modern cochlear implant systemsAdvancements in software and programming approaches for cochlear implantsNew content on methods used to code sound intensity in cochlear implant systemsUpdates on the latest signal processing and input processing schemes and technologies used in cochlear implants Expanded discussion of programming considerations related to electric-acoustic stimulation and bimodal useRecent developments in hearing assistive technologies used by cochlear implant recipientsNew and updated information on objective measures in cochlear implant programming
