The second edition of Disorders of the Auditory System reflects the combined efforts of renowned audiologists and otologists to provide to the reader with both the audiologic and medical aspects of auditory dysfunction associated with disorders of the peripheral and central auditory system. This book includes numerous insightful case studies covering both classic and unique clinical presentations that will provide informative reading for students and professionals in the fields of audiology, otology, and neurology.New to the Second Edition:•Coverage of additional auditory disorders, including meningitis, cytomegalovirus, enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome, and barotrauma •New case studies •Updated references and resources•Access to a PluralPlus companion website that includes PowerPoint lecture slides

This updated, second edition of ''The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Correlates'' remains an essential text for audiology students and clinicians. The text is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral auditory systems. Readers will benefit from the important link between science and clinical practice, with integrated clinical correlates found in each chapter.Key Features:*Presents balanced coverage of both the peripheral and central auditory systems*Integrated clinical correlates establish the link between science and practice*Substantial use of review articles and secondary sources enhances general understanding*Numerous anatomical sketches and photographs supplement learningNew to this Edition:*A newly designed two-color interior provides increased readability*A new chapter providing an overview of normal development of the auditory system, plasticity of the central auditory system, and aging effects on the peripheral and central auditory systems*A number of new illustrations*New and updated information on synaptic ribbons, neuropharmacology of cochlear function, cryoloop cooling, and the vascular network of the brainstem*Updated references, review articles, and readings*Access to a PluralPlus companion website that includes a PowerPoint image bank''The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Correlates, Second Edition'' is an essential text for graduate programs in audiology and a valuable reference for audiologists at any stage of their career.
