This is a great overview of where we are with vestibular evaluation and treatment. I am an "older" audiologist who is working on my Au.D. and this book has really brought to life the advances in the field since the last time I studied this type of material 25 years ago. To my surprise there have been many, many changes to this area and the role of the audiologist is now much more than just a technician.
