Summary

"This introduction to audiology is designed for students and professionals who need a foundation in the principles of audiology. Anyone who works with children or adults with impaired hearing, including speech-language pathologists, psychologists and educators, will find that this text helps them better appreciate and understand the impact of hearing loss, its detection, and its treatment." "The textbook is divided into three parts. The first part explores the "communication chain," demonstrating the central role that hearing plays in everyday communication. Next, the authors discuss the various disorders that result in hearing loss and the impact of this hearing loss on communication. You'll discover the latest methods used to screen for hearing loss. The final part examines the treatments for hearing loss, focusing on the information needed to help you improve the communication skills of the person with hearing impairment."--BOOK JACKET.
