DESCRIPTION
Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological
Perspective for Diagnosis and Treatment emphasizes
the physiological perspective of voice disorders—
and the behavioral and emotional factors that can
influence these changes. Readers will find a strong
foundation in normal phonatory physiology and
acoustics as well as pathophysiology arising from
voice misuse, abuse, or neurological involvement.

DESCRIPTION
Thoroughly updated for its Second Edition, this
book provides an in-depth discussion on prosthetic
restoration of hearing via implantation. The
text succinctly discusses the scientific principles
behind cochlear implants, examines the latest
technology, and offers practical advice on how to
assess candidates, how to implant the devices, and
what rehabilitation is most effective. The authors
thoroughly examine the outcomes of cochlear
implantation, the impact on the patient's quality
of life, the benefits in relation to the costs, and the
implications of cochlear implants for language and
speech acquisition and childhood education.
