Reviews

This is a very good textbook on the neurophysiology of speech, hearing, understanding, & communication. The book spans clinical development of hearing from childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and aging in human and animals experimental subjects. ... The book will be benefit auditory therapists, audiologists, speech and language therapists, and hearing researchers at all levels. (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2018)

Author Information

Nina Kraus has innovated the use of FFR as a measure of human communication skills, life experience, and auditory learning and memory. She is a senior scholar in the field and brings over 30 years’ experience pursuing basic and translational questions in auditory neuroscience. Samira Anderson is a scientist-clinician who brings 25 years’ experience in the clinic and as a young investigator has made major contributions to the understanding of central auditory processing, with a particular emphasis on neuroplasticity and aging/hearing loss. Travis White-Schwoch is a member of the Kraus laboratory with extensive experience in FFR theory and technology, and developmental changes in auditory processing. The editorial team has a strong history of collaboration, and together they bring unique knowledge to the book. Arthur N.
