Overview

A comprehensive volume written by leaders in the field, Clinical Management of Children with Cochlear Implants offers a practical guide for practitioners as well as an excellent overview for students. The book builds on nearly thirty years of collective experience in pediatric cochlear implantation and addresses the pertinent issues of today, including clinical assessment, case management, medical/surgical practices, mapping, habilitation, and educational guidelines. The authors, many of whom are master clinicians and leading researchers in the field, share their expertise in such disciplines as otolaryngology, audiology, speech-language, pathology, education, early intervention, speech perception, electrophysiology, and psychology.
