The quintessential core textbook for audiology and speech-language
pathology students Essentials of Audiology, Fifth Edition by
renowned audiology and hearing science experts Stanley A. Gelfand
and Lauren Calandruccio has been updated to incorporate advances
and changes in the field of audiology that have occurred since the
publication of the prior edition. These include advances in
audiological diagnosis and intervention in such areas as
electrophysiological assessment, pediatric evaluation, cochlear
implants, speech perception, hearing aids, and related
technologies. The text has also been updated to reflect revised
clinical guidelines, expert position papers, current systematic
reviews, and standards and regulations that affect clinical
practice. In addition to the reader-friendly text for which the
book is well-known, the new edition actively embraces diversity
with features such as non-gendered language (e.g., singular they)
and more inclusive photographs and drawings. This textbook provides
a comprehensive overview of audiology at the introductory level
with discussions on acoustics, anatomy and physiology, sound
perception, auditory disorders and the nature of hearing
impairment, methods of measurement, screening, clinical assessment,
and clinical management. The book includes 17 chapters, starting
with Acoustics and Sound Measurement and concluding with Effects of
Noise and Hearing Conservation. As with the prior editions, the
text is highly relevant and conducive to learning, thanks to the
input of a distinguished group of audiologists involved in clinical
practice, research, teaching, and student supervision, along with
insightful advice from recent audiology students. Key Highlights
