Hearing Science Fundamentals, Second Edition
NOW PUBLISHED BY PLURAL! 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); Separate and expanded chapters for Pathologies of the Auditory Mechanism (Chapter 9) from first edition; Pathologies of the Conductive Auditory Mechanism (Chapter 15); Pathologies of the Sensory Auditory Mechanism (Chapter 16); Pathologies of the Central Auditory Mechanism (Chapter 17) * Clinical Notes and Vocabulary Checks features have been added through the textEvidence-based information incorporated throughout the text * Updated Recommended Readings list * Audio examples and overview lecture videos for students Key Features: * Learning Objectives and Key Terms at the beginning of each chapter prepare the student for the chapter contents * Two-color anatomical and line illustrations aid understanding of important technical concepts * Q & A boxes reinforce important information presented in the text * A Glossary of important terms Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as documents, quizzes, and exercises) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Hearing Science Fundamentals, Third Edition introduces the basic concepts in hearing science in an easy-to-understand format for undergraduate and graduate level students. This textbook includes a wide variety of student-friendly features designed to facilitate learning and instructor resources for seamless integration to the course. 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 final section discusses pathologies of the auditory mechanisms. Multiple disorders from each portion of the auditory system are described in detail. These chapters are intended to provide an introduction to auditory pathologies to support future coursework in audiology and related fields. New to the Third Edition *Inclusion of additional Clinical Notes and computational examples in text *Discussion topics provided at the end of each chapter to assist with student understanding of chapter material *Additional topics included in multiple chapters such as information on auditory scene analysis (navigating the auditory scene) and the various decibal scales (dB SL, dB HL, etc.) *Links to helpful videos to enhance student understanding of topics from each chapter Key Features *Learning Objectives and Key Terms at the beginning of each chapter prepare the student for the chapter contents *More than 150 anatomical and line illustrations aid understanding of important technical concepts *Q & A boxes reinforce important information presented in the text *Suggested readings at the end of each chapter for further clarification and study of the technical contents of each chapter *A Glossary of important terms
