Cochlear Implants—Third Edition, Waltman SB and Roland JT, New York: Thieme, 2014

Cochlear Implants, Third Edition is an outstanding summary of the state of the art in cochlear implantation. This 256-page text wonderfully covers all aspects of cochlear implants including history, basic science concepts, pre-intra-postoperative imaging, surgical technique, revision concepts, programming, pediatric and adult outcomes, processing, ABI, tinnitus, music perception, and even vestibular implants. Although each chapter is brief, the editors have tightly focused their superstar authors resulting in informationdense chapters with in-depth references. There is a heavy emphasis on published evidence as the basis for recommendations; however, the book avoids the detriment of dry recitation of statistics and confidence levels that often makes it difficult for the reader to come awaywith practical information. Instead, the recommendations and conclusions are clear with helpful summary tables. Readers with an interest in the statistical details can review the generous and updated references at the end of each chapter. The layout and production qualities of the text make it quite user friendly. With the logical organization, an experienced clinician can quickly reach the desired information for a quick refresher or choose to read this as a quick cover-to-cover comprehensive text to provide an overall update. In short, the editors have accomplished their stated purpose in the preface; they have created ‘‘a book that will provide both experienced and new and budding otolaryngologistsYhead and neck surgeons, neurotologists, audiologists, neuroscientists, neurophysiologists, speech pathologists, teachers of the deaf, psychologists, and others interested in cochlear implants with an extraordinary resource for years to come.’’
