In der vorliegenden 10. und 11. Auflage ist dieses Buch wiederum durch Verbesserungen, Zusatze und Streichungen dem gegenwartigen Stande der Wissenschaft angepaBt worden. Wie bisher soIl es auch jetzt in erster Linie allen Bediirfnissen der Studierenden und der Allgemeinpraktiker Rechnung tragen. Da es aber auch manche nicht anderweitig veroffentlichte Erfahrungen und Ansichten des Verfassers enthalt, wendet es sich auch an die Ohren-'und Kehlkopfarzte. Es ist aus klinischen V{)rtragen entstanden; jedoch wurde die auBere Einteilung in einzelne "Vorlesungen" aufgegeben, und die direkte Anrede ausgemerzt. Dagegen ist die freiere Anordnung des Stoffes, fiir die im klinischen Vortrage mehr didaktische als systematische Riicksichten maB gebend sind, beibehalten worden. Dadurch konnte manche Wiederholung vermieden und der Umfang des Buches in sehr maBigen Grenzen gehalten werden. Sehr ausfiihrlich ist alles dargestellt worden, was jeder Arzt von den Ohren-, Nasen- und Kehlkopfkrankheiten wissen und kennen muB. Auch wurde besondere Riicksicht auf die Bediirfnisse der auf dem Lande oder in kleinen Stadten, fern von spezialistischer Hilfe, wirkenden A.rzte genommen, damit sie sich in dringenden Fallen schnell und eingehend iiber das augenblicklich Notige orientieren konnen. In den der Therapie gewidmeten Abschnitten sind zwar solche Me thoden in den Vordergrund gestellt worden, fiir deren Brauchbarkeit der Verfasser aus eigener Erfahrung einstehen kann; doch wurden auch viele andere anerkannte Methoden beschrieben. Operative Eingriffe, die der Allgemeinpraktiker selbst ausfiihren kann, sind sehr genau, solche, denen nur der Spezialist gewachsen ist, mit wenigen \usnahmen nur kurz be schrieben worden."

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind.

Hearing loss is one the commonest disabling diseases affecting populations of all ages worldwide. The impairment of hearing may be the cause of impaired language development in children, the cause of scholarly issues in adolescents, the cause of worsening of quality of life in the adults, and the cause of isolation of aged people. In this book, the authors present the hearing loss in all its facets, starting from the basis of pathophysiology and anatomy, passing through the clinical and instrumental diagnosis and, finally, describing the most important diseases causing hearing loss with reasonable treatment options. A section was dedicated to the imaging of the ear with about 100 original figures. The readers will find a complete classification of genetic hearing loss and all information related to congenital deafness as well. A wide section was reserved to the description and discussion of the most important pathology leading to hearing loss (Meniere's disease, otosclerosis, trauma and occupational hearing impairment, etc.). The treatment of hearing loss is continuously evolving with the progress of technology, and the authors gave a wide space to describe all treatment options available for the patients, providing all information useful to manage hearing disease correctly.

Genes causing hearing loss display various modes of inheritance, with autosomal recessive being the most common. With so many cases of hearing loss having a genetic etiology, audiologists are certain to encounter these patients on a fairly regular basis. Audiologists who possess basic knowledge about genetics are better equipped to recognize when a genetics referral is warranted, thereby enhancing patient care. In this chapter, it is determined that a genetics evaluation can yield valuable information for patients and their families, such as prognosis, estimates of recurrence risks, and diagnosis of other family members. The second chapter will review causes of revision surgery, how to diagnose cases of failed cochlear implants and will discuss surgical and audiological outcome of revision cochlear implant surgeries, Speech recognition ability with a replacement cochlear implant may significantly increase or decrease from that with the original implant. Experienced cochlear implant patients facing reimplantation must be counseled regarding the possibility of differences in sound quality and speech recognition performance with their replacement device. The purpose of the following chapter is to correlate the results obtained through questionnaires concerning self-reported restriction in social participation and patient satisfaction / benefit with objective time assessment of device use. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study sample composed of and elderly and non-elderly adults of both sexes diagnosed with hearing loss and approved as candidates for hearing aid fitting at a university hospital. The goal of chapter four is to understand the main features of human posture and how it is possible to analyze it. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the influence of hearing loss and vestibular disorders on body posture. The objective of the concluding chapter was to analyze the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and frequency following response (FFR) in patients diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) who were referred to the outpatient hemoglobinopathy clinic at a public hospital in southern Brazil.

Hyperacusis and Disorders of Sound Intolerance: Clinical and Research Perspectives is a professional resource for audiology practitioners involved in the clinical management of patients who suffer from sound tolerance concerns. The text covers emerging assessment and intervention strategies associated with hyperacusis, disorders of pitch perception, and other unusual processing deficits of the auditory system. In order to illustrate the patients' perspectives and experiences with disorders of auditory processing, cases are included throughout.This collection of diagnostic strategies and tools, evidence-based clinical research, and case reports provides practitioners with avenues for supporting patient management and coping. It combines new developments in the understanding of auditory mechanisms with the clinical tools developed to manage the effects such disorders exert in daily life. Topics addressed include unusual clinical findings and features that influence a patient's auditory processing such as their perceptual accuracy, recognition abilities, and satisfaction with the perception of sound. Hyperacusis is covered with respect to its effects, its relation to psychological disorders, and its management. Hyperacusis is often linked to trauma or closed head injury and the text also considers the management of patients with traumatic brain injury as an opportunity to illustrate the effectiveness of interprofessional care in such cases.Interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy, self-efficacy training, and hearing aid use are reported in a way that enhances clinicians' ability to weave such strategies into their own work, or into their referral system. Hyperacusis and Disorders of Sound Intolerance illuminates increasingly observed auditory-related disorders that challenge students, clinicians, physicians, and patients. The text elucidates and reinforces audiologists' contributions to polytrauma and interprofessional care teams and provides clear definitions, delineation of mechanisms, and intervention options for auditory disorders.
