摘要:For clinical researchers in audiology and otolaryngology, this fifth book in the Kresge-Mirmelstein Award series features the proceedings of the 1998 symposium. The book includes contributions from leading researchers on genetic causes of hearing loss and includes a CD-ROM containing audio and video footage from a Balinese village with a large genetically deaf population that have adopted a sign language indigenous to their culture.
