About the Book

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) Clinical Notes intended to bridge the gap from classroom to hearing clinic have been added throughout the text Vocabulary Checks throughout all the chapters Evidence-based information incorporated throughout the text Updated Recommended Readings list Ancillary materials accessible on a PluralPlus companion website: a sample syllabus, test bank, and PowerPoint lecture slides for instructors, and practice quizzes, word-building and anatomy-labelling exercises, audio examples, and overview lecture videos for students
