Audiology Workbook, Fourth Edition is a companion study aid to the
textbook, Audiology: Science to Practice, Fourth Edition. It can
also serve as an appropriate supplement to other introductory
audiology textbooks or class lectures. The Audiology Workbook
focuses on exercises and questions in hearing and vestibular
science and audiology clinical principles and procedures that are
beneficial for students in an undergraduate communication science
and disorders program and those in a graduate-level AuD program. It
is also a great study resource for the Audiology Praxis Exam. The
fourth edition is composed of an abundance of questions and
activities designed to reinforce students' knowledge of concepts
and procedures that are, traditionally, difficult to master. There
are questions and activities on 1) properties of sound, such as
drawing waveforms; calculating frequencies/periods, amplitudes, and
phases, 2) auditory and vestibular anatomy and physiology of the
auditory and vestibular systems, including diagrams to label, 3)
procedures for obtaining pure-tone thresholds and
interpreting/describing audiograms 4) masking for pure-tone and
speech tests, 5) performing and interpreting speech test,
tympanograms, wideband acoustic immittance, acoustic reflexes, 6)
understanding and interpreting evoked physiologic responses,
including OAEs, ABRs, ECochG, ENOG, VEMP, 7) clinical case studies
for common hearing and balance disorders, 8) treatment, including
hearing aids, implantable devices, cerumen management, tinnitus,
and aural rehabilitation. The exercises are comprehensive and
designed so they may be solved with relatively short answers and
useful for group discussion. The popular exercises from previous
editions have been retained, updated, and expanded, including those
on audiogram interpretation, masking, immittance, and case studies.
Comprehensive answers are also included for each chapter. New to
the Fourth Edition Expanded exercises on the scientific foundations
from the previous edition as well as new questions added on
wavelength, resonance, decibels, signal-to-noise ratio, complex
vibrations, stages of transduction through the auditory system, and
psychoacoustics. Many new and figures of auditory and vestibular
anatomy. New exercises related to clinical topics, including
preparation for patient testing, case history, wideband acoustic
immittance and evoked physiologic responses. New chapter with
exercises on hearing aids, assistive listening technologies, and
implantable devices. Each chapter now ends with a set of
multiple-choice questions. Additional multiple-choice questions are
available on the companion website.
