Included with this text is an interactive CD-ROM with animation, movies and interviews for use in the classroom or for self-study. Topics include the basics and science behind the field of otoacoustic emissions; the anatomy, physiology, and molecular basis of cochlear function, studies of populations with normal hearing sensitivity; studies of clinical populations, including a new article of the influence of middle-ear function and pathology and otoacoustic emissions; distortion-product otoacoustic emissions in relation to hearing loss; audiometric outcomes across cochlear and retrocochlear pathology; integrating measures as the basis for differential diagnostic applications; suppression of otoacoustic emissions in clinical and other populations; otoacoustic studies as indicators of noise-induced hearing loss; neonatal hearing screening and otoacoustic emission analysis in children. New materials also include using otoacoustic emissions as indicators of risk of hearing loss. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
