Introduction. This updated, second edition of The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Correlates remains an essential text for audiology students and clinicians. The text is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral auditory systems. Readers will benefit from the important link between science and clinical practice, with integrated clinical correlates found in each chapter. Key Features: Presents balanced coverage of both the peripheral and central auditory systems Integrated clinical correlates establish the link between science and practice Substantial use of review articles and secondary sources enhances general understanding Numerous anatomical sketches and photographs supplement learning New to this Edition: A newly designed color interior and many full color images provide increased readability A new chapter providing an overview of normal development of the auditory system, plasticity of the central auditory system, and aging effects on the peripheral and central auditory systems A number of new illustrations New and updated information on synaptic ribbons, neuropharmacology of cochlear function, cryoloop cooling, and the vascular network of the brainstem Updated references, review articles, and readings Access to a PluralPlus companion website that includes a PowerPoint image bank The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Correlates, Second Edition is an essential text for graduate programs in audiology and a valuable reference for audiologists at any stage of their career. \"Finely illustrated and exceptionally readable, this 4th edition of the leading text in
Speech and Hearing Science
, is dedicated to the habilitation and rehabilitation of the speech and hearing impaired. This comprehensive and highly popular text provides a solid foundation in the anatomy and physiology of respiration, phonation, articulation, neurology, and hearing.Now in its 4th edition, this classic text features a highly readable format, clearer illustrations, and the addition of a second colour. Clinically relevant materials punctuate the entire text, as well as in-depth supplemental and clinical notes. Key terms are boldfaced, and numerous new illustrations create dramatic visual impact.\" This book deals with the way that the auditory system processes acoustic signals. The current edition has been thoroughly revised to reflect the progress that has been made since the previous edition. Particularly major updates have been made in the following areas: cochlear function, including cochlear mechanics, hair cell function and mechanisms of transduction the auditory central nervous system, a major area of advance in recent years physiological correlates of auditory perception, including speech perception and, cochlear pathophysiology and sensorineural hearing loss, including the restoration of hearing by electrical stimulation of the ear, and molecular and cellular approaches to hair cell repair, replacement, and regeneration.A reading scheme has been provided to guide readers to the section most appropriate for their interests. The book is written so that those entering auditory research from very little background in auditory neuroscience are able to understand the current research issues and research literature. It is also intended to be a source book and reference work for advanced undergraduates studying the special senses, and for clinicians in the speciality of Otorhinolaryngology.It offers a contemporary look at the physiology of hearing: each chapter has been thoroughly revised. It is an excellent reading companion to practitioners and scholars. It is also suitable for those undertaking auditory research. It includes a reading scheme to guide readers through the book. This comprehensive text and the accompanying ANIMA 3.0 program on CD-ROM provide an in-depth study of anatomy and physiology for speech, language, and hearing. The text is designed to make anatomy and physiology accessible to the reader without slighting the content. Clinical information is integrated with everyday experiences in an attempt to underscore the relevance of the anatomical material. The text includes bulleted summaries throughout each chapter, study questions, and a pronunciation guide in the glossary to help readers master the material. Analogies and examples are used generously to illustrate the material. This user-friendly text is a must for anyone who wants to really understand the anatomy and physiology as it relates to speech, language, and hearing. This fully updated and revised sixth edition of Hearing: An Introduction to Psychological and Physiological Acoustics provides a comprehensive introduction for graduate students and professionals in audiology and other fields dealing with audition (including hearing/speech science, psychology, otolaryngology, neuroscience, linguistics, and speech-language pathology). The sixth edition reflects the current status of this rapidly-evolving multidisciplinary field of hearing science. The fourth edition of this popular introductory text for information about hearing sciences including auditory anatomy, physiology, psychoacoustics and perception. This edition updates and expands the fundamental facts about hearing. Fundamentals of Hearing is still the only non-edited book that covers sound, auditory anatomy and physiolgy, and psychoaoustics and auditory perception in one book at an introductory level. Content:Ear --Anatomy of the ear --Sound conduction to the cochlea --Physiology of the cochlea --Sound evoked electrical potentials in the cochlea --Auditory nervous system --Anatomy of the auditory nervous system --Physiology of the auditory nervous system --Evoked potentials from the nervous system --Acoustic middle-ear reflex --Disorders of the auditory system and their pathophysiology --Hearing impairment --Hyperactive disorders of the auditory system --Cochlear and brainstem implants --Definitions in anatomy --Hearing conservation programs.
