in-depth look for the more experienced.--Doody's Review
The third edition of the successful Essentials of Audiology
is a comprehensive introduction to the entire field of audiology.
Retaining the user-friendly approach of previous editions, it
incorporates current scientific and clinical knowledge to provide
students with a solid foundation in the core audiological concepts. It
covers the full range of topics from acoustics, anatomy, and physiology,
to auditory disorders and hearing impairments, screening techniques,
assessment, and clinical management. Highlights of the third edition:
Coverage of the latest developments in hearing aid and cochlear
implant technology and electrophysiological assessment
New study questions at the end of each chapter that enable review of
essential topics
Expanded discussion of management techniques, now in two separate chapters
More than 300 illustrations to demonstrate important concepts
