By Steven Kramer and David K. Brown, the Audiology Workbook, 4th Edition, is an indispensable companion study aid to the textbook, Audiology: Science to Practice, 4th Edition. It can also serve as a valuable supplement to other introductory audiology textbooks or class lectures, providing students with a wealth of exercises and questions to reinforce their knowledge of hearing and vestibular science and audiology clinical principles and procedures.

Who Can Benefit from This Workbook?

This comprehensive workbook is designed to cater to the needs of students in undergraduate communication science and disorders programs, as well as those pursuing a graduate-level AuD program. Additionally, it serves as an excellent study resource for individuals preparing for the Audiology Praxis Exam.

Comprehensive Coverage of Key Topics

The 4th edition of the Audiology Workbook comprises an extensive range of questions and activities that focus on traditionally challenging concepts and procedures. These include:

• Properties of sound, such as waveform drawing, frequency calculation, and amplitude and phase computation
• Anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, featuring diagrams to label
• Procedures for obtaining pure-tone thresholds and interpreting audiograms
• Masking for pure-tone and speech tests
• Performing and interpreting speech tests, tympanograms, wideband acoustic immittance, and acoustic reflexes
• Understanding and interpreting evoked physiologic responses, including OAEs, ABRs, ECochG, ENOG, and VEMP
• Clinical case studies for common hearing and balance disorders
• Treatment options, including hearing aids, implantable devices, cerumen management, tinnitus, and aural rehabilitation

New Features in the 4th Edition

This edition has expanded exercises on the scientific foundations, including:

• Wavelength, resonance, decibels, and signal-to-noise ratio
• Complex vibrations and stages of transduction through the auditory system
• Psychoacoustics

New figures of auditory and vestibular anatomy have been added, along with exercises related to clinical topics, including:

• Preparation for patient testing and case history
• Wideband acoustic immittance and evoked physiologic responses

A new chapter has been introduced, focusing on exercises related to hearing aids, assistive listening technologies, and implantable devices. Each chapter now concludes with a set of multiple-choice questions to reinforce students’ understanding of the concepts.

With its comprehensive coverage of key topics, the Audiology Workbook, 4th Edition, is an essential resource for students and professionals seeking to enhance their knowledge and skills in audiology.
