    Summary: Introductory audiology is an essential and fundamental aspect of the education of all students who are interested in the two related professions of speech-language pathology and audiology. This book is primarily intended to serve as a comprehensive introductory text for students who are preparing to enter both of these fields. As such, it tries to address the needs of at least two rather different groups of students. Those planning a career in audiology need a broad overview of the field and a firm understanding of its many basic principles so that they have a solid foundation for the future as doctors of audiology in clinical practice.

    Summary: "This textbook attempts to provide a comprehensive overview of audiology at the introductory level; including such topics as acoustics, anatomy and physiology, sound perception, auditory disorders and the nature of hearing impairment, methods of measurement, screening, clinical assessment and clinical management. It is intended to serve as the core text for undergraduate students in speech, language and hearing, and might also serve the needs of beginning-level graduate students who need to learn or review the fundamentals of audiology. It is anticipated that the material will be covered in a one-, two- or three-term undergraduate sequence, depending on the organization of the communication sciences and disorders curriculum at a given college or university"--Provided by publisher
