""We have built on the previous edition by adding new chapters relating to genetics, neuroplasticity, expanding criteria for implantation, the application of implant technology to tinnitus and vestibular issues, music perception, intraoperative monitoring, device reliability and reimplantation, and the use of quality-of-life and outcome measures--areas that occupy the forefront of cochlear implantation. Other chapters have been revised to reflect current research and clinical applications and provide the most recent information related to the clinical and translational sciences that continue to advance this exciting technology and its implementation. Patient outcomes, candidacy criteria, technical design, surgical technique, and programming and processing concepts are constantly progressing, and increasing numbers of individuals are gaining significant benefit. Our goal was to create a book that will provide both experienced and new and budding otolaryngologists-head and neck surgeons, neurotologists, audiologists, neuroscientists, neurophysiologists, speech pathologists, teachers of the deaf, psychologists, and others interested in cochlear implants with an extraordinary resource for years to come"--Provided by publisher."
"Covering all aspects of cochlear implantation and related sciences for the many specialists working in the field, this volulme emphasises the most recent developments in basic and clinical sciences, including: the effects of electrical stimulation; processing capabilities; preoperative criteria; medical, surgical and radiological issues; device programming; rehabilitation; and education. It discusses the full continuum of care in cochlear implantation in adults and children -- combining basic principles and theory with practical clinical management. Also: complete sections on hair cell regeneration, deprivation and effects of electrical stimulation; a full section on cochlear implant imaging -- never available before; new perspectives on outcomes measurement; and future directions in implant design and processing strategies."

"This second edition provides intensive review of the newest cochlear implant technology. It covers the important issues of cochlear implant candidacy evaluation, surgical treatment options, with discussion of the latest programming methods and new speech processing strategies. Written by well-known experts in the fields of otolaryngology, otology, neurotology, and speech and hearing, this text includes the most cutting edge information on bilateral cochlear implantation, electroacoustic stimulation, the totally-implantable cochlear implant, surgical techniques in both the normal and abnormal cochleae, as well as the genetics of hearing loss, medical and surgical complications, and auditory brainstem implants."@en
