The medical speciality of Audiological Medicine spans the investigation, diagnosis and medical management of hearing, balance and communication disorders. Recent years have seen its growth as a separate medical discipline, although its practice depends not only upon a clear understanding of the basic sciences relevant to auditory and vestibular function, but also upon experience and knowledge in the wide range of clinical disciplines relevant to hearing, balance and communication disorders, including genetics, immunology, paediatrics, geriatrics, neurology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, rehabilitation medicine, psychiatry and general internal medicine.

A textbook of Audiological Medicine is essential both to doctors and scientists in all aspects of their work with hearing, balance and communication disordered patients. It provides clinicians with the armamenterium necessary to improve the quality of care for their patients and will be of value not only during training, but also in one's professional career, as a text to dip into for information related to all aspects of the subject.
