Anu Sharma, International Journal of Audiology 2011, (2011): ... an excellent and much-needed addition in the area of pediatric cochlear implantation. I recommend it for speech-pathologists, audiologists, rehabilitation specialists, and will keep a copy close on the shelf, for myself. It provides a comprehensive textbook treatment of the fundamentals of pediatric cochlear implantation adding many new and relevant details. This book is a useful learning tool or reference for anyone wanting to work with pediatric cochlear implant recipients as well as for those who are currently doing so ... The appeal of the book, is in large part due to the unique perspective of the author, Dr Laurie Eisenberg. Dr. Eisenberg is an internationally recognized expert who has made important contributions, both scientific and clinical to the field of pediatric cochlear implants. Likewise, the book is well-researched, addressing important scientific issues ... it was a pleasure to read and review this book which covers wide-ranging topics in the area of pediatric implantation in a comprehensive and accessible manner. As a textbook and reference book, it will appeal to experts, as well as beginning students who will no doubt dog-ear many of its information-packed pages. Andy Marshall, Cochlear Implant Surgeon, Nottingham Auditory Implant Programme, Nottingham, UK. ENT & audiology news, Vol 23 No 2 (May/June 2014): - This book is very much a multi-disciplinary review of the field of cochlear implantation in children. The chapters progress through a general overview of the management of these children, but rapidly hone down to specific aspects of the assessment from the whole gamete of professionals involved in this field. - I would recommend this text as a good reference for those in the field of cochlear implantation, particularly in enabling them to have further appreciation of the skilled role that other members of the multidisciplinary team bring in forming their assessments on these often complex and challenging children.
