Product Description
This totally revised edition is a thoroughly referenced and an exhaustive description of the current state of knowledge on hearing and auditory disorders in infants, toddlers and young children. Presented with emphasis on medical aspects of pediatric hearing loss, it covers identification, evaluation and management of children with hearing impairments and deafness. Features updates and discussions of new hearing tests and screening technologies, guidelines and position statements, discussions on the role of the family in childhood deafness and schools of thought in the management of children with hearing loss, and hearing aid fitting and management issues. A new chapter addresses Otitis Media. Features an alphabetized appendix of ninety syndromes and common disorders associated with childhood deafness presented in encyclopedia-like format.

Professors, please, please do not assign this book for your students. I'm currently using it for a pediatric audiology class, and I've been disappointed.
I have two major criticisms of this book:
1. It is poorly formatted. It's true that it has headings and some bulleted lists, but they generally are not helpful. There are no bold terms, as are seen in most texts. The index is great, but there is no glossary. The fonts and paragraph style are dense and hard to access. I'm a senior with a 4.0 GPA: I know textbooks.
2. The authors do not include a wide range of studies; they include the ones that support their opinions. Additionally, many of the studies cited are from the 1960s and 1970s, which is practically the Stone Age for a technology-heavy field like audiology. The graphics look similarly dated. This is a fifth edition (2002)--perhaps much of the book reflects the original edition?
I normally keep the textbooks for my major classes, knowing that I'll need them for reference when I am a professional; however, I'm looking forward to selling this one.
