Frequency Selectivity in Hearing

Now available in a Fourth Edition, Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing is the leading textbook in the field of auditory perception--also known as psychoacoustics. The book emphasizes the mechanisms underlying auditory perception and carefully explains key concepts. There are many illustrations--a large portion of which were produced especially for the book. The Fourth Edition has been thoroughly updated, with more than 150 references to articles and books published since 1990. Introductory chapters describe the basic physical concepts needed to understand the nature of auditory stimuli and the physiology of the auditory system, concentrating on the peripheral auditory system and particularly the inner ear (the cochlea). Later chapters cover auditory object perception, and extensively discuss the auditory systems ability to analyze a complex mixture of sounds in order to derive percepts corresponding to the individual sound sources. Also covered are speech perception, the basic auditory processes underlying speech perception, practical applications such as hearing aids and cochlear implants, the psychoacoustics of high-fidelity sound reproduction, and concert hall acoustics. The book includes an extensive list of references, glossary, and subject index. Key Features * Covers important basic aspects of auditory perception including: Loudness perception and intensity discrimination * Frequency analysis and masking * Temporal processing * The perception of pitch * Sound localization and related phenomena

An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing, Fourth Edition

Now available in a Fifth Edition, An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing is the leading textbook in the field of auditory perceptionalso known as psychoacoustics. The Fifth Edition has been thoroughly updated, with more than 200 references to articles and books published since 1996. The book describes the relationships between the characteristics of the sounds that enter the ear and the sensations that they produce. Wherever possible these relationships are specified in terms of the underlying mechanisms. In other words, the goal is to impart an understanding of what the auditory system does and how it works. Topics covered include the physics of sound, the physiology of the auditory system, frequency selectivity and masking, loudness perception, temporal analysis, pitch perception, sound localization, timbre perception, the perceptual organization of complex auditory "scenes", speech perception, and practical applications such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and high-fidelity sound reproduction. The book starts from basic principles, and does not assume prior knowledge about hearing. Research results are not just described, but are interpreted and evaluated. The book includes extensive references to recent research so that those interested in a specific area can readily obtain more detailed information. Designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in psychology, speech and hearing sciences, and audiology Will appeal to researchers and professionals involved in sound and hearing, such as audio engineers, otologists, hearing-aid designers, audiologists, and hearing aid dispensers Emphasis on the mechanisms underlying auditory perception with key concepts clearly explained

Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in our understanding of the physiological role of the cochlea (the inner ear), and the mechanisms of cochlear hearing loss, the most common type in adults, which results in distortions in sound perception. This is the first book to cover the topic; aimed at students and researchers in auditory rehabilitation and its technology, it explains the nature of hearing distortion and relates them to the underlying physiological mechanisms. It provides a theoretical framework for understanding the changes that follow cochlear damage which had important implications not only for theories of normal perception but also the design of signal processing hearing aids.

Introduction to the psychology of hearing

An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing emphasises the mechanisms underlying auditory perception and explains key concepts. Introductory chapters describe the basic physical concepts needed to understand the nature of auditory stimuli and the physiology of the auditory system.

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major changes in the way that hearing aids work, and the features they offer. This book will provide an understanding of the changes in perception that take place when a person has cochlear hearing loss so the reader understands not only what does happen, but why it happens. It interrelates physiological and perceptual data and presents both this and basic concepts in an integrated manner. The goal is to convey an understanding of the perceptual changes associated with cochlear hearing loss, of the difficulties faced by the hearing-impaired person, and the limitations of current hearing aids.

Rather, it's more "let's go on this journey of discovery together" where you are guiding the reader to "fill in and develop" the plot as they go along. I think Hashir Brian have put together a narrative that many people who are bothered by tinnitus will recognise in themselves and it certainly has the potential to guide them in an accessible and progressive way to a much better outcome in their relationship with tinnitus. I also think it will be an excellent book for professionals with an interest in tinnitus treatments in general and understanding CBT for tinnitus patients in particular' Alan Hopkirk, Clinical Director, The Invisible Hearing Clinic\n'It's very much not a diktat, ordering the reader to do this or and do tha
