Genetics and the Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases

The chapters on deafness, audiometry, and surgical procedures on the temporal bone move forward in a clear and straightforward way, as might be expected from an author who has for many years been professionally concerned with these aspects of hearing. Students, whether clinically or nonclinically oriented, will find this material informative and useful. An extensive bibiography, indices to both subjects and authors, and five appendices are provided for the serious reader.
