Beskrivning
Audiology: Science to Practice, Fifth Edition, continues to set the standard for introducing students to the dynamic field of audiology by seamlessly integrating foundational science with real-world clinical application. Written specifically for undergraduate and beginning graduate courses in audiology and hearing science, this trusted text provides a clear, engaging, and comprehensive overview of hearing and balance science, assessment, and management.Designed for students with little or no prior background in audiology, the text presents complex concepts in an accessible, student-friendly style. From the physics of sound and speech acoustics to anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, and from diagnostic testing to contemporary intervention options, the text emphasizes how scientific principles inform clinical decision-making. Rich illustrations, practical examples, and consistent pedagogical features help students build confidence as they develop a solid foundation for advanced coursework and future clinical training.Whether students are exploring audiology as a potential career, preparing for professional study in speech-language pathology, or are enrolled in an audiology graduate program, Audiology: Science to Practice offers a coherent, practice-oriented roadmap to the profession.New to the Fifth EditionThoroughly updated content reflecting current audiology practice, standards, and terminologyExpanded and refined coverage of vestibular science and evaluationUpdated discussions of hearing aid technology, implantable devices, and hearing assistive technologiesRevised figures, tables, and learning aids to enhance clarity and visual learningStreamlined organization and refreshed references to support teaching and student comprehensionKey Features280 figures and tables help clarify and expand on key conceptsChapters begin with a list of learning objectives and end with key referencesPunctuated with historical and informational set-aside boxesAn easy-to-read writing style to help students understand essential scientific concepts Key terms highlighted throughout with a helpful end-of-book glossary COMPANION WORKBOOK AVAILABLE!Put learning into practice with the Audiology Workbook, Fifth Edition.
