Riassunto

Otoacoustic emissions now play an important role in hearing screening and the clinical assessment of children and adults. However, a new wave of evidence is challenging our fundamental understanding regarding OAE sources and mechanisms. Similarly, just as we have settled on methods and protocols for clinical uses of otoacoustic emissions, ongoing research suggests new opportunities for evidence-based clinical applications. In Otoacoustic Emissions: Principles, Procedures, and Protocols, Drs. Dhar and Hall have collected the latest information on OAEs - from basic research to clinical applications. The book is concise, but comprehensive, and covers the essentials of the subject from innovative and up-to-date perspectives. The material covered in the book is appropriate for intermediate and advanced students, and ideal for practitioners. With a consistent focus on practical information needed by the clinical audiologist, and a eye to future developments, authors Dhar and Hall systematically raise and answer questions necessary for a thorough understanding of OAEs, and an appreciation of their clinical value.

L'autore:

Sumitrajit (Sumit) Dhar, PhD has studied Audiology and Hearing Science at the Mumbai University (India), Utah State University, and Purdue University. At Purdue, Sumit completed his PhD in 2001 under the tutelage of Professors Glenis Long and Arnold Tubis. Between 1992 and 2000, Sumit has held several clinical positions as audiologist, audiology-supervisor, and clinic manager. His first academic appointment was at Indiana University, Bloomington. Today, Sumit is Associate Professor at the Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Northwestern University where he teaches courses in audiology and applied hearing science and is actively involved in the operation of the AuD program. Research in his lab is primarily focused on the theory and practice of otoacoustic emissions as they relate to cochlear mechanics and auditory behavior. His research is currently funded by the National Institutes of Health and the Hugh Knowles Foundation at Northwestern University. He has also received funding from the Deafness Research Foundation in the recent past.
James W. Hall III, PhD received a Bachelor's degree in biology from American International College, a Master's degree from Northwestern University and, in 1979, his PhD in audiology from Baylor College of Medicine under the direction of Dr. James Jerger. Since then, he has held clinical and academic audiology positions at major medical centers. Dr. Hall is now Clinical Professor in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at the University of Florida in Gainesville where he maintains a clinical practice, participates in funded research, and serves as a clinical instructor and mentor in the Doctor of Audiology on-site and distance learning programs. He also holds an appointment as Extraordinary Professor in the Department of Communication Pathology at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Dr. Hall's major clinical and research interests are clinical electrophysiology, auditory processing disorders, and tinnitus/hyperacusis. He regularly lectures internationally on these and other audiology and hearing-related topics. Dr. Hall is the author of over 125 peer-reviewed journal articles, monographs, or book chapters, as well as seven textbooks including the Handbook of Otoacoustic Emissions, the New Handbook of Auditory Evoked Responses, Audiologists' Desk Reference (Volumes I and II), and the recently published Objective Assessment of Hearing.
