Audiology and Audiological Medicine

AUDIOLOGICAL medicine is a relatively new specialty in the British Isles and the editor of this two volume work is one of the outstanding British specialists in this field. He has gathered together most of the leading audiological physicians in this country and quite a few of distinction from overseas. In the preface he states that his plan is to cover all clinical aspects of this specialty, with the exception of the vestibular labyrinth and its disorders. In addition, he sets out to pay special attention to certain areas, such as the ultrastructure of the inner ear, where science is advanced with respect to clinical practice. He declares his aim with the newer techniques, such as evoked response audiometry, to give practical details for the benefit of those not familiar with the day to day practice of the tests.
