Features: This book is co-authored by multiple experts and professors from five key medical universities across the country. It is a specialized work on modern auditory basic theories and the prevention and treatment of auditory system diseases. The book is divided into three parts: Basic, Examination, and Clinical. The first part elaborates on the fundamental theories of auditory physiology and recent research findings over the past decade, with a focus on introducing new theories in areas such as cochlear mechanical gate ion channels, neurotransmitters, cochlear receptors, cochlear efferent nerves, and cochlear nonlinear characteristics. The second part describes the theories, standards, instruments, and methods commonly used in clinical auditory function evaluation, as well as introducing new technologies such as Auditory Evoked Magnetic Response (AEMR) and Multifrequency Steady-State Auditory Evoked Response (MSSAER). The third part, with the aim of integrating auditory theory and clinical practice, systematically and comprehensively explains the etiology, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and surgical methods of auditory system diseases from a clinical application perspective. It particularly offers distinctive introductions to modern theories and practices in areas such as intracranial tumors of the ear, cochlear implants, and artificial middle ears. The book features novel and detailed content, is richly illustrated, and holds both theoretical and practical value. It serves as a valuable reference for medical school undergraduate and graduate students, as well as instructors for learning, teaching, and research. Additionally, it can be used as a practical tool for otological physicians in clinical practice.
