Auditory Electrophysiology (ePub)

A practical guide to auditory electrophysiology, from the laboratory to the clinic

Auditory Electrophysiology: A Clinical Guide, Second Edition by auditory electrophysiology clinicians, researchers, and educators Samuel R. Atcherson and Tina M. Stoody fills a gap in the literature. The second edition features up-to-date text and references on all aspects of auditory evoked potentials (AEPs). New perspectives include automated newborn hearing screening, frequency-specific auditory brainstem response assessments, differential diagnosis of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, evaluation of balance and fall risk assessment, central auditory function testing, surgical applications, and animal audiology.

The first section includes four chapters on the foundational science and instrumentation of AEPs. Section two starts with a chapter on electrocochleography, followed by six chapters discussing various responses and potentials. Section three features eight chapters focused on clinical applications with relevant case studies. The final section provides practical guidance on various aspects, from patient-related management to stimulation calibration and generation.
