Hearing Science Fundamentals, Second Edition, maintains the straightforward style of its predecessor, presenting the fundamental concepts of hearing science in an accessible manner. This comprehensive textbook is designed to facilitate the understanding of technical material by undergraduate and graduate students alike, with a multitude of student-friendly features and instructor resources. The text is organized into four distinct sections, encompassing a wide range of topics, from the physics of sound to the anatomy and physiology of the auditory pathway and beyond.

The textbook commences by delving into the fundamentals of acoustics and digital signal processing (DSP). In the subsequent section, readers will discover comprehensive coverage of the basic anatomy and physiology of the auditory mechanism. The third section comprises eight chapters dedicated to psychoacoustics, exploring how sound is perceived through the auditory pathways. The book concludes with a brand-new section devoted to pathologies of the auditory mechanisms.

New to the Second Edition:

A new coauthor, Jeremy J. Donai, AuD, PhD, brings his extensive clinical and research experience to the concepts discussed.

Nine new chapters have been added, including:

Review of Speech Acoustics (Chapter 2)

Digital Signal Processing (Chapter 3)

Binaural Processing (Chapter 8)

Temporal Processing (Chapter 10)

Signal Detection Theory (Chapter 13)

Auditory Perception and Hearing Impairment (Chapter 14)

Clinical Notes have been added throughout the text, intended to bridge the gap from the classroom to the hearing clinic.

Vocabulary Checks are present in all chapters.

Evidence-based information has been incorporated throughout the text.

An updated Recommended Readings list has been provided.

Ancillary materials, accessible on a PluralPlus companion website, include a sample syllabus, test bank, and PowerPoint lecture slides for instructors, as well as practice quizzes, word-building exercises, and anatomical diagrams.

In summary, Hearing Science Fundamentals, Second Edition, offers a comprehensive and user-friendly approach to the study of hearing science, catering to a diverse range of students and educators. With its extensive coverage, engaging content, and valuable resources, this textbook serves as an essential tool for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the field.
