Though a subspecialty within otolaryngology—head and neck surgery, otology/neurotology/skull base surgery is as  diverse as the field of medicine itself. And like medicine, it enthralls those who pursue it—whether as a generalist or a  specialist. This textbook endeavors to capture the dynamic nature of otology/neurotology/skull base surgery in its pages  while providing a broad foundation in its basic and clinical sciences. Written by experts, the chapters encompass the  basics such as anatomy and physiology of hearing loss, vestibular dysfunction, facial nerve disorders, and skull base  tumors. Radiology has its own chapter, and disease-specific imaging is reviewed in all relevant chapters. Building upon  the basics, cutting-edge topics such as cochlear implantation, auditory brainstem implants, and implantable hearing  aids are thoroughly covered in their own chapters. Ultimately, this textbook is distinguished by the expertise of its  contributors—all leaders in otology/neurotology/skull base surgery.
