Hearing Science Fundamentals, Second Edition maintains the straightforward style of the previous edition, introducing the basic concepts in hearing science in an easy-to-understand format. With a wide variety of student-friendly features and instructor resources, this comprehensive textbook facilitates the absorption of technical material by both undergraduate and graduate students. The text is divided into four clear sections to cover everything from the physics of sound to the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathway and beyond. The textbook begins by delving into the basics of acoustics and digital signal processing (DSP). In the next section, readers will find full coverage of the basic anatomy and physiology of the auditory mechanism. The third section contains eight chapters on psychoacoustics and how sound is perceived via the auditory pathways. The book wraps up with a brand-new section devoted to pathologies of the auditory mechanisms. New to the Second Edition New coauthor, Jeremy J. Donai, AuD, PhD, brings his extensive clinical and research experience to the concepts discussed Nine new chapters, including: Review of Speech Acoustics (Chapter 2) Digital Signal Processing (Chapter 3) Binaural Processing (Chapter 8) Temporal Processing (Chapter 10) Signal Detection Theory (Chapter 13) Auditory Perception and Hearing Impairment (Chapter 14) Clinical Notes intended to bridge the gap from classroom to hearing clinic have been added throughout the text Vocabulary Checks throughout all the chapters Evidence-based information incorporated throughout the text Updated Recommended Readings list Ancillary materials accessible on a PluralPlus companion website: a sample syllabus, test bank, and PowerPoint lecture slides for instructors, and practice quizzes, word-building and anatomy-labelling exercises, audio examples, and overview lecture videos for students
Now in its third edition, ''Clinical Research Methods in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology'' is a valuable and comprehensive resource for understanding and conducting clinical research in communication sciences and disorders. Graduate students and practicing clinicians will benefit from the text's detailed coverage of various research topics. Specifically, readers will learn the strengths and weaknesses of different research methodologies, apply the results of research to clinical practice and decision-making, and understand the importance of research ethics. ''Clinical Research Methods'' is the only text to take into account qualitative research and evidence-based practice, and to provide a detailed discussion of research ethics. Key Features *Chapters begin with an outline of covered topics and learning objectives *End-of-chapter discussion questions apply concepts and incorporate real-life research situations *Numerous tables and charts display critical models and research procedures
Hearing Science Fundamentals is a basic introduction to the concepts and principles necessary to develop an understanding of the hearing processes. From the physics of sound to the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathway and hearing mechanism, concepts are presented in a user-friendly, simplified manner, with over 100 illustrations to make learning even easier. Sections on Acoustics, Structure and Function, and Psychoacoustics detail the physics of sound, as well as anatomical and perception mechanisms. Learning objectives and key terms introduce each chapter to enhance student preparation. Two-color line drawings illustrate the physics and anatomical structures related to hearing. Definitions of key terms are easily accessible in the text and glossary. Question and answer boxes reinforce important concepts as presented in the text. Each chapter concludes with questions to test comprehension. Exercises for each chapter appear on perforated pages at the end of the book to strengthen understanding of the concepts and principles of hearing.
