Fundamentals of Audiology for the Speech-Language Pathologist

Fundamentals of Audiology for the Speech-Language Pathologist, 2nd Edition, provides speech-language pathologists with a foundational knowledge base for serving individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder.

Moving beyond an exclusively diagnostic approach, the textbook emphasizes the rehabilitative management of hearing loss. It explains core audiological concepts without extensive technical jargon, addressing various types and degrees of impairment along with related auditory, speech, and language challenges.

The volume reviews typical hearing development from birth through eight years of age and outlines programmatic planning from early intervention through geriatrics. Chapters follow a pedagogical structure organized into four recurring sections: What You Need to Know, How it Works, Technically Speaking, and Methodologies.
