Description
Vestibular evaluation & testing is an important way for audiologists to expand their scope of clinical
practice (and consequently, their revenues). However, few practitioners have both the clinical and
business knowledge to establish a successful balance disorders clinic. This book provides the
fundamental clinical information AuDs need for managing the dizzy patient along with essential tips
for running a financially sound business.
The first edition of this book was praised for its brief and understandable explanations of measuring,
evaluating, and treating the vestibular system. This new edition follows the same format but with
expanded sections on basic sciences and specific disorders, as well as a new section on falls
prevention.
