Author Description

This leading text for the introduction to hearing and hearing disorders course is now available in a new edition. This text does a wonderful job of covering a LOT of topic areas in a relatively short, easy-to-read format. Alison M. Grimes, California State University, San Bernardino and Fullerton I would like to compliment the authors on developing, and continuing to refine, a classic book in audiology. Dr. Carl Crandell, University of Florida Introduction to Audiology is exceptionally detailed and complete but can be used to cover any topic an instructor wishes by careful picking and choosing. Dr. Margaret F. Carlin, University of Southern Mississippi Highlights of the Ninth Edition: Placement of behavioral site-of-lesson testing into a historical note allows room for more detailed discussions of recent objective measures and for new material on licensing/certification, outcome measures, and evidence-based practice. Updated material throughout the text, including a thoroughly revised discussion of the rapidly evolving measures of auditory evoked potentials. Separate discussions of pediatric and adult hearing aid selection/verification and hearing loss management. This listing is for the textbook only with no additional material.
