Excellent resource.......2007-10-18
The best thing is that this book has a CD-rom that gives you simplified with tests every one the the chapters. You can practice your knowledge gained at the end of every chapter using written tests.
I would have liked if the images had color. They're all white and black or drawings (which are really good too).
textbook- arrved- matched description.......2007-09-28
I'm pleased with the book, the condition, the price. I didn't ask for rushed delivery and it took about 2 weeks to arrive.
Great Book.......2007-09-28
This book is very easy to read and learn from. The CD is great for practice exams. I love it!
ICKY BOOK.......2007-01-20
As a speech pathology student who was required to take an anatomy class with this being the required text - this book was horrible. In each chapter there is sooo much missing information and holes and gaps in the information that it made learning anatomy that much harder. The only good thing about this book is that it comes with a helpful anatomy cd for the cdrom... i preferred the Netter anatomy book instead.
Great book, Great CD.......2007-01-04
This book helped me to get a great grade in my class. The diagrams and illustrations are very helpful. The CD-Rom is extremely helpful since it has color illustrations and quizzes in each section. I really advise all users to utilize the CD-Rom!

Timberly Wannamaker, Speech Pathology Graduate Student.......2005-08-19
Great reference item. the book is well written and easy to follow. Highly recommended.
One of the best A&P books for SLPs!.......2000-08-30
This book was required reading in my graduate program and I am thrilled that it was! I have worked in both acute care as well as school settings and have found this book to be extremely helpful from both ends of the spectrum. An absolutely fantastic desk reference, especially in the acute care setting!
A good friend.......2000-08-15
I knew Mr. Zemlin personally when he lived in Brimson Minnesota. I saw the first edition when he first got it off the press and I was very impressed. Sorry to say that Mr. Zemlin has since passed away in 1998. His knowledge of a&p was far greater than any other person I have ever known.
I'm glad my professor chose this book for the class.......2000-08-10
This book is probably the best a&p book for the speech and hearing sciences. It is difficult to read at first, I will not life to you about that, but it is comprehensive, and you will learn a lot. What I like best is the book being divided into systems: respiratory, phonatory, articulatory, etc., because that is a good way to study, in systems, and then you can relate one system to another, and so on.
Customer Reviews:
For language teachers, speech pathologists, linguists ..........2003-12-18
... and teachers of the deaf.
Both Peter Denes and Elliot Pinson were communications scientists at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. Dr. Denes was Head of the Speech and Communication Research Department; Dr. Pinson was Head of the Computer Systems Research Department.
Very useful material: In its own words, this book is "an explanation of processes involved in spoken communication, from the speaker's production of words, through transmission of sound, to the listener's perception of what has been said. The mechanism of hearing is also described."
Highly recommended for teachers, researchers, students, and workers in this field.
Great Book.......2000-05-31
I am doing research on the Wiener Filter, and this book is a great introduction. Go get it!

Book Description
There is a new trend in the education of audiologists that emphasizes the basics of hearing--
Hearing: Its Physiology and Pathophysiology addresses this trend. It covers not only the basics of hearing but also the basics of pathophysiology, which is not covered in a comprehensive way in any other text today.
This book recognizes the fact that the diseased auditory system does indeed function, but in a different way than the normal system. Few books have addressed the pathophysiology of the ear and the auditory nervous system. Most books on hearing begin with a detailed description of the physics of sound, which scares many readers away because they believe they need to understand acoustics to understand how the ear functions.
Hearing: Its Physiology and Pathophysiology does not assume that the readers are physicists, which would be analogous to assuming that visual physiologists would need to know quantum mechanics to understand how the visual nervous system functions.
* This book provides a thorough understanding of the anatomy and function of the auditory system
* To the basic scientist, it will provide an understanding of the auditory system and how it works
* To the clinician, it will provide insight into the normal and diseased auditory system

Acoustic Immitance Measures In Clinical Audiology: A PRIMER
ASIN: 0195100255 |
Book Description
This comprehensive introduction to the functions of the mammalian ear describes the major steps by which sound is transformed into nerve impulses. The author leads the reader along the pathway followed by the acoustic signal. He starts with the collection of sound by the outer ear, proceeds to its transfer by the middle ear, and finally analyzes its modification in the inner ear, where the sound waves are transformed into nerve impulses. The book concludes with descriptions of some common ear impairments and a brief survey of the treatments available for them. At each stage of the ear's sound processing, Professor Geisler discusses the basic mechanisms, covering current theories and illustrating the discussions with experimental data. Although he uses an extensive array of analogies and mathematical models, he considers only the basic theory and the outputs of the models, not their derivation or formal usage. Where appropriate, related mechanisms in the ears of other vertebrates are considered. From Sound to Synapse is written in lucid, accessible style that makes no assumptions about the scientific background of the reader apart from a basic familiarity with pulse generation by neurons. It will be of value to researchers and students in sensory physiology, neurophysiology, acoustics, bioengineering, psychoacoustics, and neuroscience. It will also benefit neurologists, audiologists, otolaryngologists, and other clinicians interested in a more detailed description of sound processing.

How we hear.......2000-03-27
"From Sound to Synapse" describes the transformation of sound waves into neural impulses that is performed by the mammalian ear. The story begins with the arrival of sound waves at the external ear and eventually leads to a characterization of the response of primary auditory neurons to speech sounds. Along the way, the basic mechanisms of the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear are discussed, using experimental observations of vertebrate ears and computed results of theoretical models to illustrate the discussion. Geisler's fascination with the mammalian ear is evident in the way he reveals new insights to the reader. His comprehensive overview provides a good theoretical basis for understanding the various processes involved in hearing.
The book is written in a style that does not require the reader to have a strong scientific background. Topics are introduced in a non-technical manner and mathematical equations are used sparingly. Appendices are provided to acquaint the reader with background topics such as Fourier theory, acoustic resonances, and impedance. Other background information is introduced in text, as needed.

This book has been a great reference item. I use it for anatomical landmarks and it is very helpful. It helped me ace a test in my aphasia class. I am a very visual person and this book is wonderful.
A Good Way to Review.......2000-03-24
There are so many things to remember when it comes to learning anatomy and physiology. Being a speech-language pathology and audiology major, I need all the help I can get. This book is very helpful in reviewing for exams in that it includes everything you need to remember. If you study with it, you can't go wrong.
Book Description
The Fourth Edition of Yost's successful introductory book on hearing, this edition updates and expands the fundamental facts about hearing.
Fundamentals of Hearing is still the only non-edited book that covers sound, auditory anatomy and physiolgy, and psychoaoustics and auditory perception in one book at an introductory level.
An Instructor's Workbook contains 15 chapters, one for each in the textbook. Each chapter contains 12 problems and answers, suggested tracks form the ASA Audio CD-ROM (audio examples for understanding hearing provided by the Acoustical Society of America-this CD-ROM will not be included), suggestions for class exercises, and for some chapters, example figures and graphs.
The CD-ROM provided with the Instructor's Workbook contains a copy of all the figures in the textbook, as well as text files that can be loaded into any spread sheet. These files contain the basic data and plots used in the book, a toolbox of MATLAB routines (a math program of Mathworks, Inc., used by many people who study all aspects of hearing), both MATLAB and executable Windows 95 programs for a) generating sounds, b) a simulation of measuring a neural tuning curve, and c) running psychophysical experiments for discrimination and detection of tones in noise (both diotic and dichotic).
Key Features
* Approximately 25% new information
* Contains a new chapter, The Abnormal Auditory System, which replaces the chapter on Noise
* All figures redone
* Instructor's Workbook and CD-ROM also available
* Includes Website, with a Hearing Tutorial based on the book
Customer Reviews:
poor basics and too much air.......2005-04-10
I got the book from a friend and iam very disappointed. The book covers what all the other books cover too, but the author uses three quarters of the letters only to fill space. The content could be much more compressed, also are the figures poorly made or just copied from papers. But a much larger problem is, that the author seems not to have any idea what he is talking about in terms of physics. The formulas that are given use wrong abbreviations, mixes that abbreviations (uses T and t for time only 5 cm apart) and gives the formulas not necessarly showing that he knows how to use them correctly. If you want a good book about the basics of hearing, buy another one.
