This workbook is a useful companion to the fourth edition of the textbook Audiology: Science to Practice or to any introductory textbook in audiology, supported by additional literature and input from the instructor. The exercises and questions focus on concepts typically difficult for students to understand without prac- tice, including properties of sound, decibels, anatomy, physiology, interpreting and describing audiograms, masking, immittance, evoked physiologic responses, vestibular/balance assess- ment, and hearing aids. In addition, there are exercises to build upon the student’s knowledge of auditory and vestibular disorders, including a chapter devoted to case studies, so the student can begin to develop their skills at integrating basic diagnostic test results and how they relate to hearing and balance disorders. Because many students are unaware that audiology’s scope of practice requires knowledge and skills related to the vestibular system, we have included exercises on the auditory and vestibular systems together in the chapters on anatomy, physi- ology, and disorders. The exercises and questions are comprehensive and challenging but designed so they may be answered with relatively short answers. As with the previous editions, there is a complete set of answers at the back of the workbook to guide the student in the learning process. This workbook may also be appropriate for group discussions and/or as a study aid for those taking the Praxis exam. We expect that students who use this workbook will apply and think about what they have covered in class or read in their textbook and will end up with a solid founda- tion and appreciation of audiology. Features and Additions to This Edition This edition represents a collaboration with a new coauthor, David K. Brown, whose longtime teaching experience and expertise in audiology and hearing science provided an opportunity to bring his perspectives to the content of the workbook. In addition, users of past editions of the workbook were surveyed and their feedback was helpful as we updated, revised, and expanded this edition. New exercises related to clinical topics have been added, including preparation for patient testing, case history, wideband acoustic immittance, and evoked physi- ologic responses. Also new to this addition is a chapter on audiology treatment, including hear- ing aids, hearing assistive technologies, implantable devices, and aural (re)habilitation. New anatomy diagrams have been added. Additional exercises were added to areas from previous editions, and new questions were added on wavelength, resonance, decibels, signal-to-noise ratio, complex vibrations, stages of transduction through the auditory system, psychoacoustics, vii Plural_Kramer_4E_WB_FM.indd 7 10/8/2021 2:15:28 PM viii AUDIOLOGY WORKBOOK anatomy/physiology, audiogram interpretation/description, and masking. The popular case studies chapter has also been expanded. In addition, each chapter now ends with a set of multiple-choice questions. We are excited about all the improvements in this edition that will help students gain a better understanding, through crafted exercises and probing questions, about audiology concepts.
