Unique textbook explores current and future applications of
auditory brain implants Research on the auditory brainstem implant
(ABI) has evolved from a highly specialized, narrow field to one
involving a wide spectrum of disciplines. Neurotologists,
audiologists, otolaryngologists, and neurosurgeons are on the front
lines of treatment, while many other specialists play active roles.
Auditory Brainstem Implants by renowned ABI experts Eric P.
Wilkinson and Marc S. Schwartz is the first dedicated book on ABIs
published to date. The state-of-the-art monograph brings together a
rich array of materials and resources from an impressive group of
pioneering clinicians from around the world. The text starts with
introductory chapters encompassing the history and development of
ABIs; relevant neuroanatomy and physiology; imaging of the cochlea,
cochlear nerve, brainstem, and auditory system; and clinical
indications for ABIs. Surgical chapters detail translabyrinthine,
retrosigmoid, and retrolabyrinthine approaches, pediatric
applications, auditory midbrain implants, device-specific
engineering, and intraoperative monitoring. Auditory testing,
performance variables, and results are also reviewed. The final
chapters focus on innovative future directions, such as penetrating
multisite microelectrodes and the use of optogenetics. Key
Highlights In-depth analyses and overviews enable clinicians from
different disciplines to expand their armamentarium and solidify
current areas of expertise Unique material on the relevant
neuroanatomy of brainstem implants improves understanding of ABI
challenges and outcomes Description of ABI results in tone
languages demonstrates applications in special populations
Pediatric topics including evaluation and surgery and implant
outcomes from the Hacettepe University team provide invaluable
treatment pearls Insightful perspectives on programming,
rehabilitation, and outcome assessment in adults enhance knowledge
Trainee and practicing otolaryngologists, neurosurgeons,
neurologists, audiologists, and speech pathologists will benefit
from reading this comprehensive ABI resource, either cover-to-cover
or by consulting specific chapters. This book includes
complimentary access to a digital copy on
