Description
Evoked Potential Audiometry: Fundamentals and Applications provides a clear understanding of the fundamentals of auditory averaged evoked potentials (AEP) and how they are applied in any clinical environment. Little background is required for understanding the principles and procedures discussed. The authors, who are experienced clinicians, teachers, and researchers, use consistent terms, concepts, recommendations, and abbreviations throughout the book.
This book puts emphasis on the relevance of evoked potential audiometry (EPA) to Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology while providing basic information needed for clinicians applying their knowledge in a more medically or psychologically oriented environment. The book deals with practical as well as technical matters and includes a section on laboratory management, patient management, and report writing. References were selected to provide a good historic background as well as a sample of more contemporary writings.
