Download or read book Cochlear Implants Basic Textbook written by Sandro Burdo and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2023-10-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on cochlear implantation includes very few introductory textbooks, while many publications are devoted to updating or explaining specific aspects of the topic. The neophyte may struggle to understand specialized texts due to lacking basic knowledge. Even the expert may need an overview of the various cochlear implant models, taking advantage of a technical summary related to the main concepts of audiology and otology. Cochlear Implants by Sandro Burdo is a textbook written by a single author who maintains a logical order of chapters, making learning more accessible because it follows a sequence. Although it is an introduction, the book also covers the topic from a technical standpoint, but with essential reminders of audiology and otology necessary to understand how the various device components simulate auditory anatomy-physiology. The author describes all brands without any comments on quality or preference to allow readers to build their opinions. However, careful reading reveals that the devices are not similar but present significant differences that professionals should consider in making a rational choice for individualized implant fitting. This knowledge will help the clinician to develop the critical sense that will lead to a view based on concrete and scientific considerations. In other words, they are not being prey to the promotional ads of companies that often exaggerate certain product features while hiding their limitations. The text consists of three main parts: - basic science (acoustics and electricity); - auditory anatomy and pathophysiology; - cochlear implant technology, for a total of 240 double-column pages, 143 figures, and 13 tables, confirming the educational purpose of the book with 1.5 illustrations per page. Clinical aspects are covered briefly because discussing them in depth would have meant going off-topic. And since clinical elements such as indications, contraindications, etc., are the only topics covered in other books, repeating concepts that are now more than familiar was unnecessary. Finally, it may be helpful to know that the author used the simple language of a high school textbook, putting all the topics into an organic design in which the three main themes mentioned above interact.

Download or read book Cochlear Implants written by David S Haynes and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who has a severe or profound hearing loss. A cochlear implant does not cure deafness or hearing impairment, but is a prosthetic substitute which directly stimulates the cochlea. There are over 250,000 users worldwide with 12,000 in the UK. This book is a multidisciplinary guide to cochlear implantation in children and adults with sensorineural hearing loss (where the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ, ie the cochlear and associated organs). Beginning with discussion on the aetiology of hearing loss and assessment of cochlear implant candidacy, the next chapter discusses preoperative cochlear implant imaging. Each of the following sections provides in depth coverage of different types of cochlear implantation and their potential outcomes. The final sections examine miscellaneous topics such as music perception in cochlear implantation, drug eluting electrodes, cost effectiveness, and reliability reporting. Authored by internationally recognised, US-based specialists, the text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs and illustrations.
