Intricately shaped and amazingly sensitive, ears are the organs of
hearing and balance. When something goes wrong with the
ears-whether infection or cancer, eardrum perforation or hearing
loss-our overall well-being is generally disturbed. In The Ear
Book, Drs. Thomas J. Balkany and Kevin D. Brown, recognized experts
on ears and hearing, explain how the anatomy of the ear facilitates
hearing and balance and then examine the causes, symptoms, and
treatment of common problems of the outer, middle, and inner ear.
Their explanations take the mystery out of hearing aids, the proper
care of ears, and how the pressurized conditions of scuba diving
and air travel affect the ears. And they debunk ear-related
myths-from the notion that exposure to loud noise strengthens the
ear to the idea that tinnitus can be cured with nutrients-and urge
readers to stop using ear candling or Q-tips to get rid of wax.
Drs. Balkany and Brown address such common questions as: Can
dizziness be cured? How loud is too loud? Why do my ears ring? Do
cochlear implants work for nerve deafness? What promise do
innovations in gene therapy and stem cell therapy hold for the
future? Fully illustrated and including helpful tables, hearing
preservation tips, a glossary of terms, lists of ear medications
and resources, and suggestions for further reading, The Ear Book is
sure to be a welcome family guide.
