It is written in a style that makes new or difficult concepts relatively easy to understand, while still providing more coverage of hearing and vestibular science and clinical audiology than other introductory texts. 606 $aHearing$xphysiology 606 $aHearing Disorders 606 $aAudiology$xmethods 606 $aHearing Tests$xmethods 615 12$aHearing$xphysiology 615 22$aHearing Disorders 615 22$aAudiology$xmethods 615 22$aHearing Tests$xmethods 676 $a612.8/5 700 $aKramer$b Steven$067467 701 $aBrown$b David K$c(Professor of audiology)$082949 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795799203321 996 $aAudiology$93693998 997 $aUNINA
