Psychoacoustics: Perception of Normal and Impaired Hearing with Audiology Applications 1st Edition (2020) (PDF) by Jennifer J. Lentz

Description

Psychoacoustics: Perception of Normal and Impaired Hearing with Audiology Applications provides an overview of the field of psychoacoustics, with a primary focus on auditory perception. The influence of hearing loss on these general auditory abilities is discussed in every chapter. Components of the book also include the role of psychoacoustics in audiological assessment and treatment. Psychoacoustics is ideal for graduate students in audiology, who intend a clinical career and need an understanding of both normal and impaired auditory perception. It is intended to give students sufficient information to understand how the ear achieves auditory perception, what the capabilities of the ear are, and how hearing loss influences that perception. It also provides students with a foundation for further study in the area and to apply psychoacoustic principles to diagnostic audiology and audiological rehabilitation.

Each chapter presents self-contained information related to the acoustics, physiology, and methodologies as they apply to the topic being discussed. Chapters include the following: introduction; relevant acoustics; important physiological studies; perception by normal-hearing listeners; and, perception by listeners who have sensorineural hearing loss. The final chapter discusses clinical implications of deficits in perceptual abilities by listeners with sensorineural hearing loss. Because psychoacoustics is intimately integrated into clinical audiology, this chapter also includes a discussion of many of the clinical tests and practices that have evolved directly from psychoacoustic experimentation.

User’s Reviews

Review “The book contains all essential issues of modern psychoacoustics and
hearing sciences. Every chapter provides “take-home points” and
“exercises,” which will be extremely helpful for both instructors and
students. All chapters also discuss sensory neural hearing loss cases,
which are unique and helpful for AuD students.” –Inyong Choi, PhD,
Assistant Professor, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders,
University of Iowa”This book continually engages students with clinical
relevance to the topic of each chapter. Each chapter provides physiological
correlates with the given psychoacoustic issues, so that students can have
broad knowledge of hearing science.” –Bomjun J. Kwon, PhD, Associate
Professor, Department of Hearing, Speech and Language, Gallaudet
University”As it intends, the book would indeed serve as an excellent text
for a course within a university audiology programme or as an extended
segment in a broader course. The chapters make handy modules, and the
format is something of an instant syllabus just add students! The
end-of-chapter questions are extensive; to answer all of them requires both
an understanding and application of the knowledge introduced. The format
takes those within audiological circles from the familiar and concrete the
measuring of thresholds in quiet through to the more foreign and ambiguous
the manifold perceptions of pitch and phenomena of binaural hearing.”
