Speech Audiometry

Like other books in the Core Clinical Concepts in Audiology Series, Speech Audiometry is designed to be particularly helpful and appealing to students and clinicians. It provides a single, easy to manage volume that provides broad coverage of speech audiometry and masking in clinical protocols. In addition to providing appropriate background information, the coverage presents a broad spectrum of assessment tools ranging from traditional to modern. Procedures in this book will assist clinicians in determining differential diagnosis, assessing auditory processing ability, identifying pseudohypacusis, determining cochlear implant candidacy, predicting hearing aid benefit, and counselling.

Review

• Carl Verschuur, MSc PhD RCS, Hearing and Balance Centre, Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of South Hampton, Highfield, Southampton, UK., ENT & Audiology News (March/April 2013):
  "It is well organized and clearly presented, starting with a concise overview of speech acoustics and calibration. As a single user-friendly guide to the topic it would be a genuinely useful addition to an audiology department."
