Summary:

Hearing loss, dizziness and facial palsy are common disorders of the ear among adults and children alike, with severe repercussions on quality of life. Recent advances in otology, including improved diagnostic techniques, microsurgery, fibre optics and microchip miniaturisation, have given surgeons an unprecedented ability to treat hearing and balance disorders. This lavishly illustrated monograph is the combined effort of a distinguished team of otologists, neurotologists and neurologists from Johns Hopkins University. Together, they have produced an invaluable resource for the management of otological and neurological problems.
