Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Martin J Audiffred, M.S.(Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals)
Description: Starting with the history and design of cochlear implants, then proceeding to the fitting and managing of the person and the device, this book is a collection of professional articles on all aspects of cochlear implants.
Purpose: This was designed to be a useful and practical resource for the managing of children, and to some extent adults, who have or may be candidates for a cochlear implant.
Audience: The articles in this resource would be of a greatest value to professional team members working with cochlear implants. However, students and researchers would also find value in this book.
Features: The over 50 authors of these articles provide highly experienced clinical and research information in a very clear format. The charts, graphs, conclusions, future needs, and references provide readers with an arsenal of information.
Assessment: I highly recommend this book for all professionals who provide any level of service to people with a cochlear implant or may be a candidate for one. It collects information in one place that otherwise would have to be located in a number of other resources.
