Publisher's Synopsis
Cochlear implantation has become an established method for the auditory rehabilitation of profoundly deaf patients. The patients benefiting from this procedure are more numerous and younger than ever before. This volume describes the latest developments in all aspects of cochlear implantation. A special feature of the book is the presentation of longterm results of this technique in both adults and children. The directions that future research should take to optimize existing systems and to develop more sophisticated ones are also considered. Otologists, neurophysiologists, surgeons, audiologists and educators of the deaf will find this book to be a valuable source of information on recent progress and new perspectives.
