Written by the authors of the best-selling Introduction to Audiology, this review manual uses illustrative case histories and review-and-question style to give students feedback on their level of understanding about audiology before they enter the examination process.

Designed to accompany any audiology textbook or set of lecture notes, this text gives students a brief overview of twenty different topics in audiology, followed by a series of questions with answers. It employs different learning strategies such as matching, labeling, and outlining. Solving a series of case studies with the audiometric and historical information provided helps students access higher levels of learning.
