A Textbook of Audiological Medicine: Clinical
Aspects of Hearing and Balance
Book Description - Audiological medicine is a relatively new specialty
spanning the investigation, diagnosis and medical management of hearing
and balance disorders. Recently, it has grown into a separate medical
discipline, although its practice depends upon experience in a range of
clinical disciplines, including genetics, immunology, pediatrics,
geriatrics, neurology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, psychiatry and
general internal medicine. Textbook of Audiological Medicine, the first
comprehensive text on the subject, integrates the science and medicine
of auditory and vestibular disorders. It is ideal for general
practitioners and specialists involved in hearing- and balance-impaired
patients. |

Research Design and Evaluation in Speech-Language
Pathology and Audiology
Book Description - KEY BENEFIT: Almost all of the 60,000+
speech-language pathologists and audiologists in the United States now
have to be able to document convincingly the positive impact of
intervention on their clients if they are to be competitive for
"third-party" funding. Most are not familiar with the research
methodologies needed to do it in a way that funding agencies are highly
likely to regard as being scientific, objective, competent and valid.
This book focuses on conducting and consuming clinical research. By not
assuming any prior knowledge of statistics, this book teaches how to
interpret and critically evaluate the data analyses and conclusions of
studies in which statistics are used. It also summarizes the legal and
ethical aspects of clinical research. Additionally, the widespread
availability of software for computing statistics by issuing a command
or two has resulted in a shift in emphasis from knowing how to compute
statistics to knowing when to use the various statistics and how to
appropriately interpret them. This book reflects this change in
emphasis. Written as a professional book for speech-language
pathologists and audiologists, it will enable them to document the
impacts of intervention on their clients in ways that medical insurance
programs and public school administrators are likely to regard as being
both "scientific" and valid.
