For those clinicians and graduate or doctoral students interested in diagnostic audiology and auditory disorders, as well as graduate courses in Speech-Language Pathology and Deaf Education, Auditory Neuropathy is the first book of its kind to present all aspects of this newly identified disorder that affects many clients. Drs. Sininger and Starr along with the top clinicians and researchers in the field explore auditory neuropathy (AN) beginning with its history, pathophysiology, audiologic and neurologic findings in patients with AN, and results on psychoacoustic and speech perception tasks. The potential mechanisms for AN are discussed in detail as well as the latest information on the genetic basis for some AN including identification of specific chromosomal disorders. Finally, the text will give information on results of a variety of rehabilitative methods and strategies including amplification and cochlear implantation for treatment of this disorder. TEXTBOOK
