This textbook on hearing science and clinical audiology covers the anatomy and functions of the auditory and vestibular systems; the properties of sound; aspects of clinical audiology, including audiogram interpretation, speech audiometry, physiological measures, and selected disorders of the auditory system; and audiology as a career. Variations in pediatric procedures are incorporated. This edition has been updated and reorganized with two new chapters on clinical pure-tone masking and hearing screening, as well as information and figures on vestibular anatomy and physiology, acoustic resonance, speech acoustics, wide-band middle ear power measures, and masking for speech testing. It also has a revised chapter on the historical pathways of audiology, which includes the educational audiology path, and a revised chapter on hearing aids, to reflect changes in amplification options. Both are contributed by additional speech, language, and hearing sciences specialists. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
