Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Clinical Masking Procedures provides the most comprehensive discussion of the topic currently available, presenting a theoretical foundation of masking that is essential for the understanding of applied clinical techniques. A strong foundation in the underlying concepts enables the clinician to make well informed decisions when selecting a specific approach and in applying and modifying the appropriate procedure. The goal of this book is to facilitate an understanding of the decision-making process required for clinical masking through problem-solving techniques. An entire chapter is devoted to clinical masking procedures using insert earphones, a current (and future) trend that has achieved increasing popularity over the past few years. Chapter 9 consists of a group of case studies, each of which includes a series of audiograms that takes the reader step-by-step from the initial audiological results through the completed audiological evaluation.

Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery is the medical and surgical specialty addressing disorders of the head and neck in both adult and pediatric populations. The goal of the encyclopedia is to serve as a single and comprehensive source of all the information that is essential for students and practitioners of the specialty. The vast amount of information included in the encyclopedia is divided into 5 volumes in line with the subspecialties of general otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, pediatric otolaryngology, otology–neurotology, and facial plastics. All volume editors are internationally recognized otolaryngologists with experience in publishing. Each section editor recruited experienced authors from all over the world to contribute on structured topics, and all entries are supported by published references. Thus, all information included in the encyclopedia is from credible sources and has been carefully screened for accuracy. The strength of the encyclopedia is its online availability and quick search features, which allow rapid retrieval of definitions and more in-depth information.

Rapid Audiogram Interpretation: A Clinician's Manual provides a methodical, step-by-step approach for interpreting audiograms. Training and experienced clinicians, as well as non-audiologists in related fields, will benefit from this unique workbook and easy-to-remember interpretation process. The manual includes audiogram examples on a varying level of complexity (basic, intermediate, and advanced), accompanied by official interpretations, matching the specific interpretation method recommended by the authors. This specific interpretation process allows the reader to learn the method and apply it to every future audiogram interpretation, making it an invaluable resource. Otolaryngology trainees (graduate medical students, residents, fellows) are expected to have a working knowledge of audiogram interpretation, however, few, if any, have direct lectures or mentored clinical experiences designed to provide this knowledge within their first few years of training. This resource fills that gap and provides a means for beginners to master interpretation of the audiogram. It also serves as a general review for more experienced clinicians. Key FeaturesIncludes 65 audiogram examples!Uses an 8-step method that can be easily learned and universally applied to future audiogram interpretationsA searchable index by diagnosis for each audiogram aids the learner in seeing disease-specific examplesIncludes a Glossary for quick reference of key termsWritten by otolaryngologists and an audiologist for comprehensive expertise and coverage Rapid Audiogram Interpretation will also be helpful for students and professionals in related fields, such as audiology, speech-language pathology, and deaf/hard of hearing education.

Notes that in the decade since the first edition, speech audiometry has been almost entirely replaced by electrophysiological tests in many countries for advanced diagnosis, but that many countries do not have such sophisticated equipment or training, and that audiology is still used for rehabilitation. Explains such aspects as the basic properties of speech, speech tests in quiet and noise as a measure of auditory processing, equipment and its calibration, speech tests of hearing for children, and experiences in a number of countries and institutions.

Basic Audiometry Learning Manual, Third Edition is designed to provide students and beginning clinicians with instruction in the art and science of clinical audiometry techniques. Well-defined learning outcomes, review of concepts, observation exercises, guided practice, and review materials serve as catalysts for active learning of concepts and provide opportunity for utilization of fundamental audiometry methods. The comprehensive content of the Learning Manual encompasses the breadth of audiologic evaluation, including history taking and patient communication, ear canal assessment and management, immittance, pure-tone testing, masking, speech audiometry, otoacoustic emissions, patient counseling, and report writing. Chapters can be taught in a serial fashion, following the sequence of a typical audiologic evaluation. Alternatively, the order of activities can be tailored to suit a particular instructional curriculum, or as individual topics coalesced with immediate goals. New to the Third Edition: * A new chapter focused on audiometry as a precursor to hearing treatment * Updated figures to reflect what learners will experience in modern clinical practice * Updated terminology to reflect current clinical practice * Many new online supplemental materials for instructors to engage their learners Key Features: * Learning Outcomes provide students with clear goals for knowledge and skill-building and provide a foundation for students to evaluate their progress toward clinical competence outcomes * Review of Concepts provides a concise examination of the theoretical knowledge necessary for performance of clinical activities * Observation challenges students to witness the behavior of clinical instructors or practicing professionals in the act of clinical practice * Guided Practice leads the student through exercises designed to provide firsthand experience with performing clinical activities * Reflection and Review provides students with opportunities to incorporate newfound understanding gained through Observation and Guided Practice into their theoretical and conceptual knowledge base through answering reflective and review questions * Includes 18 videos of common procedures
