The second edition of Disorders of the Auditory System reflects the combined efforts of renowned audiologists and otologists to provide 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. The book also includes color images of video otoscopy.

James Jerger: A Life in Audiology captures the author's extraordinary career in audiology spanning more than 60 years and provides a compelling picture of a life dedicated to the understanding of hearing. It is a personal account of his positive clinical and research achievements and lessons learned as a student, professor, clinician, scientist, colleague, and mentor.

Otology is an intriguing subdiscipline of otolaryngology—head and neck surgery. Ear disorders are one of the commonest diseases encountered in ear, nose and throat practice. The correct diagnosis of ear diseases requires a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy and its alteration in pathological conditions. Middle ear anatomy is quite complex. Rendering a concrete picture of middle ear using only words had been always a challenging task. The constant effort to solve the doubts of the students in the best possible way was the driving force behind this atlas. With this backup in mind, this comprehensive atlas was developed with lucid and relevant text which addresses normal and diseased state of tympanic membrane, ear canal and middle ear. The atlas consists of a total of 271 colored photographs obtained by using 4 mm zero degree sinuscope. The clarity and the optics of the endoscope give greater information of the ear conditions contrary to the traditional outpatient Bull's lamp or otoscopic examination. Before discussing the pathological conditions of the external and the middle ear, we have detailed the description of the normal tympanic membrane along with its variations. The appearance of the tympanic membrane is altered in various acute and chronic conditions affecting the middle ear. The alteration in its color, surface, intactness and position has been well illustrated in this atlas. The highlight of the atlas is unique approach of Exploration of the middle ear contents through subtotal perforation and its vast collection of pre and post operative images of Cartilage Tympanoplasty. This atlas will definitely supplement the standard ENT textbooks for a further in depth pictorial depiction of the ear disorders and thus facilitate proper diagnosis for dispensing appropriate treatment for otological disorders. We believe that this atlas will definitely be of immense help not only to the undergraduate and the postgraduate students, the ENT fraternity but also to general practitioners who also get a regular share of ENT patients. It is an update for the specialist treating otological pathologies as it is a “photogallery” of clinical findings accumulated over a period of time.

Clinical Otology is the complete reference for basic scientific information on the functioning of the ear and current techniques for the diagnosis, management, and rehabilitation of patients with common otologic disorders. In this edition the authors address important topics such as the genetic diagnosis of hereditary hearing loss, management of superior canal dehiscence, evidence-based management of otitis media with effusion, middle ear and brain stem implantable hearing devices, new applications of transtympanic therapy, and more. The book features the exquisite color photographs of world-class otologic photographer Eiji Yanagisawa, MD.Highlights of the third edition:New chapters on Molecular Biology and Clinical Otology, Molecular Disorders and Clinical Otology, Pharmacology of Otologic Drugs, and Cystic Lesions of the Petrous ApexMore than 400 illustrations and full-color photographs to aid the comprehension of key conceptsComprehensive lists of references for pursuing topics in greater depthAll otologists, otolaryngologists, audiologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, and students seeking to optimize patient care should add this state-of-the-art reference to their professional library.
