About this book

Introduction to Audiology 13th edition by Frederick N. Martin and John Greer Clark introduces the science and clinical practice of hearing and balance assessment. The book explains how sound is measured, how hearing is evaluated, and how audiologists interpret test results to identify hearing disorders, making it especially useful for students preparing for coursework in audiology, speech and hearing sciences, and communication disorders.

The 13th edition covers the profession of audiology, acoustics and sound measurement, pure tone hearing tests, speech audiometry, masking, physiological tests of the auditory system, and pediatric hearing assessment. It also examines disorders of the outer ear, middle ear, inner ear, auditory nerve, and central auditory pathways, along with nonorganic hearing loss, tinnitus, balance disorders, decreased sound tolerance, amplification, and patient management.

This book is especially useful for Audiology Students, Speech Language Pathology Students, Communication Sciences and Disorders Students, Hearing Science Students, Graduate Audiology Students, Clinical Audiology Trainees, and professionals reviewing foundational hearing assessment and rehabilitation concepts. It is particularly relevant for courses that require students to connect auditory anatomy and physiology with test procedures, interpretation of audiograms, and management of hearing and balance disorders.

Audiology students, speech and hearing science students, clinical trainees, and communication disorders students can use this edition to review hearing tests, masking principles, auditory pathology, pediatric assessment, amplification, and clinical management before exams or practicum. The 13th edition, 2019 is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access, so you can begin studying immediately for audiology coursework, clinical training, hearing assessment labs, or professional review.
