Now in its seventh edition, this is a major revision of the leading text for the introduction to hearing and hearing disorders course required of all SLP/A majors. Known for its in-depth coverage of the physics of sound, anatomy and physiology of the auditory system, causes and treatment of hearing disorders, and the relevant diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, Introduction to Audiology is now augmented by an instructional CD-ROM. KEY FEATURES: The CD-ROM features visual and auditory demonstrations, samples of audiograms representing different kinds of hearing loss, different sound stimuli, and filtered speech to simulate sensorineural hearing loss. It also includes an extensive literature section with useful forms, addresses of organizations, publishers, lists of books of special interest, and much more. Visuals are used throughout the book along with tables for summary, and the details provided in figure captions augment the text by paraphrasing the concept being demonstrated. Interesting materials about early contributors to the fields of anatomy, ear disease, acoustics, audiology, etc., have been placed in footnotes for learning that does not interrupt the flow of the text. Market: For anyone interested in Audiology, Audiometry, Hearing Disorders, and Hearing Science.
