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

MaxiSound Digital Hearing Aid Factory Close Out Special: RIGHT EAR ONLY – Check our other listings on Amazon for LEFT EAR. MaxiSound Digital is the pinnacle in low cost digital Hearing Instruments. Made in the USA, Maxi-Sound Digital Hearing Aid features micro-miniaturized circuitry, integrated into a housing – smaller than the tip of a little finger. Comfortable and discreet, there is nothing to wear behind the ear. MaxiSoundTM utilizes state of the art Digital Signal Processing, more advanced and producing clear sound than older Analog hearing aid technology. High Sensitivity Microphone picks up sounds clearly cleanly. Battery Door makes it easy to install Type 312 Zinc Air batteries will last approximately 280 hours. Easy to operate volume wheel offers a maximum output of over 116db. The MaxiSound Digital is a small, ready-to-wear instrument. It sits completely within the ear canal for most people and comes with 3 soft silicone tips (1 each of S, M, L) to fit most ear canals comfortably without the expense or delays of custom molding. This one-size fits all model offers a cost-effective, convenient alternative that fits discreetly in the ear like expensive custom molded models do. The FREQ range covered is between 200 Hz to 8000 Hz, for a mild to moderately severe hearing loss. The processor does all the work inside the amplifier; it is preset to process the sound to the standards of a digital amplifier by increasing the softer sounds of 50 dB and under and decreasing the louder sounds over 80 dB. The toggle switch can be used to reduce the lows, giving more highs. This is effective in noisy areas such as restaurants, group meetings, sporting events. The background noise is subdued and controlled to better hear personal conversations more clearly. Each MaxiSound is shipped with a tool kit that contains 4 #312 batteries, cleaning tool, 3 silicone tips travel pouch. Special Sale Price. 14 day Guarantee
