From reviews of the first edition:
"The target audience of this high quality book is very large. Both novice and experienced clinicians, medical geneticists, researchers and teachers will find an impressive wealth of information."--
Trends in Genetics"Although several books on genetic hearing impairment are available, this 2nd edition gives the most comprehensive and updated information and should -within the field- be considered 'the book'!!" --
Audiological Medicine"Hearing loss is perhaps the most prevalent of all the chronic diseases with over 20 million Americans suffering from hearing impairment severe enough to affect their ability to communicateThe publication of this book is cause for celebrationThis book stands alone as a standard reference on hereditary hearing loss. It will be an essential tool for all otorhinolaryngologists, medical geneticists, and other health care workers serving those with hearing disorders and their families."--
The New England Journal of Medicine"This book is an invaluable source of information for otolaryngologists, clinical geneticists and all those who care for patients with deafness and congenital malformations. Like other volumes by the same authors, it is destined to become a 'classic'."--
Annals of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada"This reference is the most comprehensive book on the subject of hereditary deafness since Konigsmark and Gorlin's text,
Genetic and Metabolic Deafness, published in 1976. This sequel has been long awaited by professionals and students in the fields of genetics, otolaryngology, and speech and hearingAn excellent reference which will prove to be an invaluable resource."--

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
It is the best book that exists for consultation on genetic syndromic hearing loss, since in very organized form it treats the audiologic aspects perfectly and genetic of these syndromes.It is my favorite book and I recommend it to you if you are geneticist or audiologist.
