Abstract
This book is intended to introduce new student of hearing science to physiology and psychology of audition, in such a way as to overcome the frustrating dilemma imposed by textbooks that are either too basic or too advanced. The first half of book covers anatomy, conductive mechanisms, cochlear mechanisms, and auditory nerve-central pathway neuroelectric response properties. The second half of book is devoted to psychoacoustics, with chapters on psychophysical methods, auditory sensitivity, masking, pitch, loudness, binaural hearing, and speech perception. The chapters on conductive mechanisms, psychoacoustic methods, and binaural hearing are well written. Acoustics and averaged evoked potentials are two important areas that receive little attention. All of chapters are well organized, cite classic and contemporary studies, and include many figures from literature. It was somewhat distracting, however, to find so many typographical errors throughout text. As was author's intent, this book
