Overview

Audiology Workbook, Third Edition is a companion to the textbook, Audiology: Science to Practice, Third Edition, by Dr. Steven Kramer and Dr. David Brown. It also can serve as an appropriate supplement to any introductory audiology textbook or class lectures. The Workbook focuses on exercises and questions in hearing science and audiology principles and procedures that are beneficial for speech-language or audiology undergraduates and those beginning an AuD graduate program. It is also a great study resource for the Audiology Praxis Exam.

The third edition of the Audiology Workbook is composed of an abundance of questions and activities designed to reinforce students' knowledge of concepts and procedures that are, traditionally, difficult to master. There are questions and activities on properties of sound, such as drawing waveforms; calculating frequencies/periods, amplitudes, and phases; anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems; and interpreting audiograms, speech tests, tympanograms, acoustic reflexes, and auditory brainstem responses. There are also questions to reinforce knowledge about hearing disorders, including an entire chapter on basic clinical cases. The activities are comprehensive and designed so that they may be solved with relatively short answers and useful for group discussion. Comprehensive answers are also included for each chapter.

NEW TO THIS EDITION
The Audiology Workbook has been extensively revised from the previous edition. This edition updates, expands, and reorganizes material from previous editions but retains the features that worked well, including detailed answers for all of the exercises. More exercises have been added in traditionally difficult areas such as properties of sound, anatomy/physiology, audiogram interpretation/description, and masking. In addition, there are now separate chapters on immittance, OAEs, and ABRs. New to this edition is a separate chapter on vestibular anatomy, physiology, disorders, and assessments for those who wish to learn more about this area of audiology.

A new chapter is devoted to the popular case studies found in the previous editions. The case studies have been revised into a more consistent format with answers written similar to how they might be found in a clinical audiology report. The exercises are designed to help students learn how to integrate basic diagnostic test results and relate them to a variety of hearing disorders.

This workbook is a companion to the core textbook Audiology: Science to Practice, Third Edition.

The textbook is a comprehensive and challenging resource for undergraduate courses in audiology and hearing science, and for graduate students beginning an AuD program, especially those who may not had a previous background in the subject.

About The Authors

Steven Kramer

Steven Kramer, PhD, is Professor in the School of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at San Diego State University, where he has been a faculty member and administrator since 1985. He served as the department chair from 1990 to 2001 and as the Codirector of the Audiology Doctoral (AuD) Program, offered jointly by San Diego State University (SDSU) and the University California San Diego (UCSD), from 2003 to 2016. He obtained his master's and doctoral degrees in audiology and hearing science from the University of Florida. He was a licensed and certified audiologist for about 40 years. Before his appointment at SDSU, he was a clinical faculty member at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, Texas. He has taught a wide array of courses at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including hearing science, diagnostics, medical audiology, evoked potentials, and psychoacoustics.

Larry H. Small

Larry H. Small, PhD, is Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Bowling Green State University (BGSU), where he has taught for 24 years. While at BGSU, he served as the Director of the University Honors Program (1991-1996) and was Chair of the Department from 2003 to 2007. He was on the Executive Board of the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CAPCSD) from 2007 to 2011, serving as President from 2009 to 2010. Dr. Small is an adjunct professor at Ohio State University, where he has taught part-time in the AuD program for 9 years. Over the past 30 years, Dr. Small has taught courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels in phonetics, hearing science, diagnostic audiology, and aural rehabilitation. He has authored or coauthored numerous presentations and publications. His textbook, Fundamentals of Phonetics: A Practical Guide for Students, is currently in its fourth edition.
