Basic Fundamentals in Hearing Science is a practical textbook
written primarily for college undergraduates preparing for graduate
programs in speech-language pathology or audiology. Using Newtonian
physics, the authors present a novel approach to the subject of
hearing science enabling students to develop their understanding of
the subject while building their knowledge of scientific concepts
as they move through the text. Students progress from the basics to
more difficult concepts in a graduated process. The text encourages
thinking and problem solving rather than learning by rote
memorization and clarifies obscure concepts in a writing style that
promotes greater understanding and comprehension. Pedagogical
elements include key terms listed for each chapter, bulleted
chapter summaries, and review questions at the end of each chapter.
For undergraduate hearing science students without hard science
backgrounds, this text aims to decompress and facilitate the
comprehension of difficult and often cumbersome concepts in order
to master the basic concepts in hearing science.This textbook is
also a useful supplemental or recommended reference for speech and
hearing combined courses that require more coverage of hearing
science than currently available in speech-oriented textbooks.
"'Key features of "Basic Fundamentals in Hearing Science"
include:"' * An extensive number of figures and illustrations for
improved overall comprehension of the subject matter * Clear
descriptions of the many and various forms of sound wave
phenomenon, and of auditory anatomy and physiology--from the outer
ear to the auditory cortex * An overview of scientific measurement
scales and notation including the use of logarithms, exponential
and scientific notation, and the metric system * An opening chapter
that defines and elucidates the meaning, practice, and philosophy
of science--with an emphasis on theory-driven research--including a
practical guide for the writing of a scientific manuscript *
Chapters devoted to the basic terminology used in hearing science
and the application of those basic principles and terms, as well as
a chapter that addresses basic nervous system terminology and
describes the structure and function of the twelve pairs of cranial
nerves * A chapter that deals exclusively with the structure and
function of the auditory system
==================================================================
"The text is written with meticulous and thorough attention to
detail and accuracy.This is especially apparent with regard to the
formulas and tables provided for the computations of the Bel,
decibel, and RMS amplitude. An additional feature that adds to the
attractiveness and flair of the book is the frequent reference to
historic discoveries and to those who made them. Concepts presented
in the text are beautifully complemented by illustrations, graphs,
and equations. This is a book I wish I had had when I was a
student, and I believe it will become a first choice textbook among
undergraduate and graduate students. It will provide quick answers
to questions, both simple and complex, and will provide
ever-deepening insights into hearing science when knowledge of
details is the goal." -- From the Foreword by James A. Kaltenbach,
PhD, Director of Otology Research, The Cleveland Clinic
