Introduction. Pure tone audiometry is used to measure auditory threshold of an individual. The instrument used in this measurement is known as the audiometer. This is a subjective investigation, the accuracy of which is dependent on the response of the patient. Audiogram Curve description. Horizontal axis: Frequency. Audiogram Curve description. .

Early sections describe integral concepts that provide foundation for the comprehensive audiologic evaluation, such as a basic acoustics overview, equipment, and calibration. This textbook leads the reader through preparation for testing and step-by-step generation of a pure-tone audiogram. Thorough description and many examples are provided relative to major parameters involved in audiogram interpretation: type of hearing loss, magnitude, configuration, and symmetry. The second section of the textbook relates to masking theory and procedures involved in clinical masking, particularly during pure-tone audiometry. Examples are provided here, in addition to sections regarding obtaining valid measures, pearls and pitfalls encountered during testing, audiogram interpretation with common hearing disorders, advanced applications for utilization of pure-tone stimuli in diagnostic Audiology, and more. This textbook serves as a framework for integration of additional audiologic procedures with pure-tone audiometry as its base. Many of the most difficult concepts for a beginning audiology student are addressed: references of the decibel in basic acoustics, calibration of equipment, interpretation of the audiogram, and masking procedures.\" Clinically-oriented, Objective Measures in Cochlear Implants begins with a clear description of the underlying basic science and signal characterstics of objective measures made with cochlear implants. Divided into three parts, this book covers basic science, non-physiological objective measures, and physiological measures.. There are very few books about evoked potentials and objective measures in cochlear implants, making this a great resource for audiology graduate students or seasoned audiologists with little cochlear implant experience.. Clinically-oriented, Objective Measures in Cochlear Implants begins with a clear description of the underlying basic science and signal characterstics of objective measures made with cochlear implants.

There are very few books about evoked potentials and objective measures in cochlear implants, making this a great resource for audiology graduate students or seasoned audiologists with little cochlear implant experience.. This book provides an accessible and easy to understand treatment of acoustic immittance, from basic to advanced measures. Laboratory exercises and clinical cases from actual practice are provided, with focused questions to elicit classroom discussion. This book bridges the gap between theory and clinical application for electro-acoustic and electro-physiologic assessment of hearing loss across the age range. Strategies and techniques for screening and diagnosis of hearing loss are presented clearly and simply. The authors incorporate findings of accumulated clinical experience and recent clinical research in a readable review of electro-acoustic measures (immittance measures and otoacoustic emissions) and electro-physiologic measures (electrocochleography, ABR and ASSR) that are essential for best practice in audiology today. This book is a one-stop resource for clinicians who are responsible for the diagnostic auditory assessment of children and adults. Cochlear Implant Patient Assessment is an invaluable clinical reference for every cochlear implant audiologist and speech- language pathologist working with the adult or pediatric populations.. This unique text is designed to provide information on best practices assessment of implant candidacy as well as the postoperative assessment of performance over the long term. This book is written for audiologists, speech-language pathologists and deaf educators to serve as a clinical handbook on the assessment tools and therapeutic intervention that are critical during the pre- and post-implant periods. Given that the numbers of both adult and pediatric cochlear implant recipients continue to increase, more and more clinicians will be expected to gain and maintain a level of experience surrounding the clinical management of this population. Though this book contains useful information for even the most seasoned clinicians, it will serve an especially important role in the education and training of students and clinicians being introduced to cochlear implant clinical practice. Having an experienced audiologist and speech-language pathologist authoring this work unites the inter-disciplinary nature of this practice. \"Pure-Tone Audiometry and Masking, one of five texts planned within the Basic Audiometry division of the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series, is a text devoted strictly to these important areas.

Laboratory exercises and clinical cases from actual practice are provided, with focused questions to elicit classroom discussion. This book provides a concise guide to conducting and interpreting the electronystamography/ videonystagmography examination. In order to provide a foundation for understanding ENG/VNG test results, the early sections of the text are dedicated to a description of normal and impaired peripheral and central vestibular system function. Also addressed is the process of central nervous system compensation. These sections are followed by a description and interpretation of the ENG/VNG subtests including: ocular motor testing, positional/ing testing and caloric testing. Finally, examples of counseling materials and illustrative case studies that serve to highlight the principles and techniques covered in the manual will be provided. This text is designed to be a practical and portable resource for use in the clinic. It may serves as a text for students training or as a practical summary of existing larger textbooks.
