Instrumentation for Audiology and Hearing Science : Theory and Practice

Understanding the array and complexity of instrumentation available to audiologists and hearing scientists is important to students, beginning clinicians, and even seasoned professionals.The second edition of Instrumentation for Audiology and Hearing Science: Theory and Practice is a comprehensive and accessible look at instrumentation used in these fields for research and clinical purposes.The expert authors introduce the laws of physics as they relate to audiology and hearing science and explain a range of concepts in electronics directly related to instrumentation used in audiology and hearing science, such as filtering and immittance (involving acceptance i.e., admittance, and rejection i.e., impedance of energy), explain the fundamental instrumentation concepts in mathematics, physics, and electronics in a systematic manner including only the necessary formulae and basic scientific principles. This unique professional text presents the fundamentals of the evolution of communication systems from analog to digital, including such concepts as digital signals, sound resolution, sampling, quantization and their applications to current technology such as video calls, noise canceling head phones, and CD players.In addition, the authors comprehensively cover calibration of test and research equipment and stimuli used in audiology and hearing science and clearly describe elements of electronics and digital technology as they apply to our everyday lives and experiences as well as to the fields of audiology and hearing sciences. New to the Second EditionNew chapters on amplification, assistive listening devices, and vestibular assessment (electronystagmography and videonystagmography), geared toward audiology and hearing science students and professionalsExtensive reorganization for a smoother flow of informationExpanded focus on evidence-based practiceInformed by the authors' teaching, research, and clinical experiences, the original chapters have either been eliminated or completely updated to reflect current scientific and clinical theoriesA PluralPlus companion website with practical step-by-step PowerPoint instruction and accompanying videos for the construction of direct- and alternating-current electrical circuits, as well as the construction of high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters

Listening for What Matters : Avoiding Contextual Errors in Health Care

The best clinicians take into account the life challenges of their patients when planning their care, a process Drs.Weiner and Schwartz refer to as "contextualizing care." Failures to contextualize care, when they results in care plans that seem appropriate from a narrowly clinical perspective but are nevertheless unlikely to achieve their intended aims represent "contextual errors." Prescribing a medication a patient cannot afford when a less costly alternative is available would constitute such an error.Drawing on two decades of research including analysis of nearly 10,000 audio recorded medical encounters, the authors document an unmeasured dimension of quality: the extent to which clinicians attend to patient context, and its substantial implications for health care outcomes and costs.Listening for What Matters provides a comprehensive overview of research and quality improvement efforts to address the problem of contextual error.This second edition has been revamped and updated to include studies testing clinical decision support tools in the electronic medical record, medical student and resident trainee educational interventions, and an audio-recording based quality improvement program within the Department of Veterans Affairs.This book is a must-read for physicians, other health care professionals, policymakers and administrators, medical students, and medical educators.
