Exposure to loud noise continues to be the largest cause of hearing loss in the adult population. The problem of NIHL impacts a number of disciplines. US standards for permissible noise exposure were originally published in 1968 and remain largely unchanged today. Indeed, permissible noise exposure for US personnel is significantly greater than that allowed in numerous other countries, including for example, Canada, China, Brazil, Mexico, and the European Union. However, there have been a number of discoveries and advances that have increased our understanding of the mechanisms of NIHL....

Endoscopy is firmly established as a major technology for investigation
and therapy in a wide range of disciplines. The field of otolaryngology or head
and neck surgery owes its existence to the very special difficulties of
examining the dark recesses of the head and neck. Therefore, this field has been
at the forefront of developing endoscopic techniques for use in this anatomic
area. While rhinologists have been quick to embrace the endoscope in the
management of sinus disorders, otologists and skull base surgeons have been less
than enthusiastic despite the...

Tinnitus is a prevalent hearing disease, affecting 15% of the population, particularly hearing impaired, veterans and even young people who grow up with mp3 players and iPods. The mechanisms underlying tinnitus remain controversial. At present there is no cure for tinnitus, and treatment options are limited.

Different from previous tinnitus books, including A. R. Moller's book in press at Springer], which typically have a strong clinical flavor, the present volume focuses on neural mechanisms of tinnitus and its behavioral consequences. The proposed book starts with a...

All laryngologists, especially general ENT doctors who see patients with paralytic dysphonia, as well as speech pathologists, will benefit from this book s coverage of many basic and clinical aspects of reinnervation in retrieving patients normal voices.

Phonosurgical treatment for paralytic dysphonia was first established in the late 1970s in the form of arytenoid adduction and medialization laryngoplasty. It made possible the improvement of patients post-op voices, but it was difficult to regain patients own pre-paralysis voices. It has recently been established that immediate...
