Introduction to AudiologyThe ninth edition of Martin's (U. of Texas at Austin) and Clark's (U. of Cincinnati) textbook features updated material throughout the text, including more detailed discussions of recent objective measures; new material on licensing/certification, outcome measures, and evidence-based practice; a revised discussion of the rapidly evolving measures of auditory evoked potentials; and separate discussions of pediatric and adult hearing aid selection/verification and hearing loss management. The accompanying CD-ROM now combines modifications of the previous book CD and the freestanding CD-ROM Interactive Audiology, providing learning supplements, professional resources, interactive exercises, case studies, and clinical demonstrations.
