Produktbeschreibung

Cochlear Implants: A Practical Guide, edited by Huw Cooper, was an essential text for all those involved in audiology and related professions. The first edition of this book was published in 1991 and a second edition has been long awaited. The new edition of this popular book has undergone a complete revision and includes contributions from an international collection of authors, many of whom are the world leaders in their specialist areas. This comprehensive text covers all aspects of this rapidly developing field, from implant design, speech processing strategies, assessment and rehabilitation of children and adults to developments of the future. The chapters written by implant users and their parents give a fascinating insight into the experience of hearing again with a cochlear implant. Containing twenty chapters, there is something of relevance and interest to all professionals involved in working with the deaf, students and non-professionals with an interest in deafness.
