Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest information in audiological research with a strong emphasis on the vestibular system and the various types of hearing problems associated with otolith dysfunction. It is divided into two sections: "Vestibular Pathophysiological Features" and "Updates on Diagnosis and Therapy." Section 1 explores the pathophysiology of the vestibular pathways and Section 2 discusses several innovative approaches for a modern evaluation and rehabilitation of vestibular disorders. Chapters address such topics as tinnitus, signal transmission, vestibular testing, rehabilitation, and therapy, and audio-vestibular side effects of COVID-19 treatments.
Download or read book Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems written by Raymond Romand and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-23 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems fourth edition presents a global and synthetic view of the main aspects of the development of the stato-acoustic system. Unique to this volume is the joint discussion of two sensory systems that, although close at the embryological stage, present divergences during development and later reveal conspicuous functional differences at the adult stage. This work covers the development of auditory receptors up to the central auditory system from several animal models, including humans. Coverage of the vestibular system, spanning amphibians to effects of altered gravity during development in different species, offers examples of the diversity and complexity of life at all levels, from genes through anatomical form and function to, ultimately, behavior. The new edition of Development of Auditory and Vestibular Systems will continue to be an indispensable resource for beginning scientists in this area and experienced researchers alike. Full-color figures illustrate the development of the stato-acoustic system pathway Covers a broad range of species, from drosophila to humans, demonstrating the diversity of morphological development despite similarities in molecular processes involved at the cellular level Discusses a variety of approaches, from genetic-molecular biology to psychophysics, enabling the investigation of ontogenesis and functional development

Book excerpt: Genes causing hearing loss display various modes of inheritance, with autosomal recessive being the most common. With so many cases of hearing loss having a genetic etiology, audiologists are certain to encounter these patients on a fairly regular basis. Audiologists who possess basic knowledge about genetics are better equipped to recognize when a genetics referral is warranted, thereby enhancing patient care. In this chapter, it is determined that a genetics evaluation can yield valuable information for patients and their families, such as prognosis, estimates of recurrence risks, and diagnosis of other family members. The second chapter will review causes of revision surgery, how to diagnose cases of failed cochlear implants and will discuss surgical and audiological outcome of revision cochlear implant surgeries, Speech recognition ability with a replacement cochlear implant may significantly increase or decrease from that with the original implant. Experienced cochlear implant patients facing reimplantation must be counseled regarding the possibility of differences in sound quality and speech recognition performance with their replacement device. The purpose of the following chapter is to correlate the results obtained through questionnaires concerning self-reported restriction in social participation and patient satisfaction / benefit with objective time assessment of device use. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study sample composed of and elderly and non-elderly adults of both sexes diagnosed with hearing loss and approved as candidates for hearing aid fitting at a university hospital. The goal of chapter four is to understand the main features of human posture and how it is possible to analyze it. The aim of this chapter is to investigate the influence of hearing loss and vestibular disorders on body posture. The objective of the concluding chapter was to analyze the auditory brainstem response (ABR) and frequency following response (FFR) in patients diagnosed with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) who were referred to the outpatient hemoglobinopathy clinic at a public hospital in southern Brazil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing is a sensory modality critical to both language and cognitive development. In its absence, and without sensory input through another modality, such as the manual/visual modality of sign language, cognitive and language development can be severely impaired in the earliest formative years of a child. In its endeavor to d- cover the mechanisms underlying audition, the ?eld of auditory science has provided rich comparative physiological studies, allowing insights into both the micromecha- cal and electrochemical world of this system. For many years, the auditory/vestibular sciences have been in?uenced by the discoveries of electrical engineers and sensory physiologists, who have provided insights into the functions of this dynamic system. The early discoveries in these ?elds, as well as advancements in microprocessing and materials technologies, provided a means whereby hearing could be regained partly through the use of a bionic device, known as a cochlear implant. Presently, this device and the auditory brainstem implant are the only ones to prosthetically replace brain function. With the advent of molecular biology tools, such as RT-PCR, the auditory and vestibular ?elds have made great strides in understanding the genetic basis for various hearing and balance disorders over the past ?fteen to twenty years. These technologies permitted the discovery of genes that control inner ear structure and function by ov- coming the hurdle of working with small amounts of tissue, as found in the inner ear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of comp- hensive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modern au- tory research.The volumes are aimed at all individuals with interests in hearing research, including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators.The volumes are intended to int- duce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and to help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in ?elds of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume is intended to present a particular topic comprehensively, and each chapter will serve as a synthetic overview and guide to the lit- ature.As such, the chapters present neither exhaustive data reviews nor original research that has not yet appeared in peer-reviewed journals.The volumes focus on topics that have developed a solid data and conceptual foundation rather than on those for which a literature is only beginning to develop. New research areas will be covered on a timely basis in the series as they begin to mature.

This book was released on 2003-12-10 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to advances in genetics and genomics, research on inner ear development has flourished. Better approaches and experimental models have shed light on the function of a variety of vertebrate genes and their related proteins. This latest volume of Current Topics in Developmental Biology delves into this new research to show how the discovery of more genes involved in the development of the inner ear leads to the generation of new models that examine a wealth of issues -- from the origins of human deafness to the roles of genes during inner ear induction, development and differentiation. The wide variety of experimental approaches will help readers to understand the broad range of issues related to inner ear morphogenesis and other concepts from complementary areas of investigation. This state-of-the-art overview will be essential reading for researchers, clinicians and students alike. * Scores of high-quality, full- color figures * Detailed schemes on the structure and timing of ear development * Current Topics in Developmental Biology is the longest-running forum for contemporary issues in developmental biology
