商品簡介
Intended as a supplemental text for residency training programs, this collection describes the technical aspects of hearing aid fitting and addresses areas that can be particularly challenging to new physicians, such as fitting the pediatric patient with hearing loss or the patient with hydropic hearing loss with a changing baseline audiogram. One lengthy chapter reviews scientific evidence on potential nutriceutical interventions to protect hearing health. Other topics of the 17 contributions include talking to the patient about hearing loss, management of tinnitus, implantable hearing devices, assistive listening devices, a business model of hearing aid dispensing, and the future of hearing aid research. Dr. Derebery is a professor at USC's school of medicine and Dr. Luxford is clinic director of the Children's Center of the House Ear Institute.
