A comprehensive introduction to hearing and balance disorders.

Introduction to Audiology offers a thorough introduction to hearing and balance disorders in a user-friendly format. Extensive pedagogical tools help students better understand, retain, and analyze the material, while the presentation of topics allows instructors to adapt the content to suit their specific teaching goals. The abundance of how-to information, incorporation of current research, and updated learning aids showcase the rewarding, fascinating aspects of a career in audiology today.

The 13th Edition features:

• A new chapter on the diagnosis and management of balance, tinnitus, and sound tolerance problems that better orients students to the full range of audiologic practice (Ch. 13).
• State-of-the-art topic coverage such as over-the-counter hearing aids, high-frequency and multifrequency tympanometry, and telehealth that keeps students current with changes in the profession.
• Clinical Commentaries that drive home important concepts or expand on the material. In response to reviewer feedback, more Clinical Commentaries are infused throughout the text.
