Fundamentals of Audiology for the Speech-Language Pathologist, Second Edition is specifically written to provide the speech-language pathologist with a knowledge base to work with individuals who are hard of hearing, deaf, and diagnosed with a (central) auditory processing disorder. Serving as a guide to the management of hearing loss, this unique resource presents basic audiological concepts in a clear, concise, easy-to-understand format, eliminating extensive technical jargon. This comprehensive text covers various types and degrees of hearing loss and the resulting auditory, speech, and language difficulties.
