22/09/2016: Attention on this month's Editorial
This month's editorial , by Dr. James Hall III, is part of his book on Evoked Auditory Potentials. Dr. Hall was generous enough to share with the international OAE Portal community important clinical cues on the topic of hearing loss assessment. Amazon.com offers the new handbook in a convenient Kindle version. The editorial and the handbook material are great educational resources for students and professionals.
19/09/2016 : Free Book chapter Section

21/09/2016: More information for Families
There is a wealth of information in the FORUM section , specially for Families of implanted or for Cochlear implantation candidates. The stories which are posted are from children who have received successfully a Cochlear implant (mostly as a result of a Neonatal Hearing Screening program).
We have noticed that rarely visitors check the FORUM for additional topics or for more details on a specific topic, therefore in the section Information for Families we will start posting these success stories. The idea behind this is to distribute in a larger scale the successes and the positive experiences of Cochlear Implant users , who have faced in one particular period of their lives serious social integration challenges. The material is quit optimistic, because it tells the stories of people with hearing deficits who managed to master various musical organs.
