OverviewCovers all the topics required for a thorough understanding of hearing sciences: acoustics, anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, psychoacoustics, and basic instrumentation. Written in a straightforward style, this text is appropriate for undergraduate students. Fundamental concepts from earlier chapters are reinforced as more complex topics are introduced. In short, it is an accessible book that students will rely on throughout their academic careers. Instructors may find the more advanced chapters useful as supplementary material in AuD programs.

The overall running sequence of the chapters is logical and well thought through. I like the idea of introducing concepts of 'acoustics' early in the book and including some 'basic mathematics' at the end. The information in this book has sufficient depth in all the areas covered. Serah Ndegwa, Audiological Scientist, Head of Audiology, Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya, Community Ear and Hearing Health, (2009): This is an excellent book which covers all areas of hearing science. The text is systematically structured, easy to read and has well illustrated diagrams. This is an ideal resource textbook for students studying Audiology or other courses in hearing sciences. It also provides a good read for those audiologists already in practice. Laurie M. Schmidt, AuD, CCC-A (Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center), Otology & Neurology, (2011): The Hearing Sciences is an excellent textbook geared toward advanced undergraduate courses in hearing science or communication disorders as well as entry-level doctor of audiology courses. It is truly designed to be an educational tool with easy-to-read language, bolded terms, an abundance of diagrams and images, and appendix of mathematical review for those students who need a refresher.

Author InformationTeri Hamill, Ph.D. Teri A. Hamill, Ph.D., is Professor of Audiology at Nova Southeastern University, where she teaches Au.D. students. Lloyd Price, Ph.D. Lloyd L. Price, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Audiology, taught undergraduate and graduate courses in the hearing sciences at Florida State University. When he began teaching an undergraduate hearing science course in 1983, there were no texts suitable at that level. In order to cover the material he wished to cover, it was necessary to develop a text, which evolved over a fifteen-year period. Price has background in both clinical audiology and academia. He worked as a professor for thirty-one years after having worked clinically for the previous nine years. Price is now retired, living in Havana, Florida with his wife, Cindy.
