      abstract = {The quintessential core textbook for audiology and  speech-language pathology students   Essentials of  Audiology, Fifth Edition by renowned audiology and hearing  science experts Stanley A. Gelfand and Lauren Calandruccio  has been updated to incorporate advances and changes in the  field of audiology that have occurred since the publication  of the prior edition. These include advances in  audiological diagnosis and intervention in such areas as  electrophysiological assessment, pediatric evaluation,  cochlear implants, speech perception, hearing aids, and  related technologies. The text has also been updated to  reflect revised clinical guidelines, expert position  papers, current systematic reviews, and standards and  regulations that affect clinical practice. In addition to  the reader-friendly text for which the book is well-known,  the new edition actively embraces diversity with features  such as non-gendered language (e.g., singular they) and  more inclusive photographs and drawings.   This textbook  provides a comprehensive overview of audiology at the  introductory level with discussions on acoustics, anatomy  and physiology, sound perception, auditory disorders and  the nature of hearing impairment, methods of measurement,  screening, clinical assessment, and clinical management.  The book includes 17 chapters, starting with Acoustics and  Sound Measurement and concluding with Effects of Noise and  Hearing Conservation. As with the prior editions, the text  is highly relevant and conducive to learning, thanks to the  input of a distinguished group of audiologists involved in  clinical practice, research, teaching, and student  supervision, along with insightful advice from recent  audiology students.   Key Highlights   Co-authored by  renowned clinician-scientists, educators, and Fellows of  the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the  American Academy},
