Concise, clear, and supported by audio clips and activities which deepen students' understanding, it outlines fundamental processes that enable speech perception, music perception, and spatial hearing, explains how humans make sense of multiple sounds around them, and examines how we can measure and define hearing loss. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- A succint and comprehensive introduction to auditory perception.\u003cbr\u003e- Embedded audio clips and audiovisual interactive activities help students to understand key concepts.\u003cbr\u003e- Explores current research related to perceiving speech in noisy places and the association between hearing and vision.\u003cbr\u003e- 'Further Insights' boxes, 'Test Yourself' questions, and further reading suggestions in each chapter allow students to deepen their learning.\u003cbr\u003e- Written by experts in the field of auditory perception. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Formats and Resources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis edition is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats: the e-book and Trove offer a mobile experience and convenient access along with figures, functionality tools, and navigation features. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor more information about e-books, please visit www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk\/ebooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEmma Holmes, \u003cem\u003eLecturer, University College London\u003c\/em\u003e, Adele Goman, \u003cem\u003eLecturer in the School of Health and Social Care, Edinburgh Napier University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Emma Holmes is an Associate Professor at University College London (UCL), and Principal Investigator of the Cognitive Hearing Lab in the Department of Speech Hearing and Phonetic Sciences at UCL. She completed a B.A. in Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and a Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of York. During her Ph.D., Emma examined brain responses when people direct attention to speech when competing speech is present, and compared these responses between people with and without hearing loss. Emma's current research interests include how cognitive factors-such as attention and prior knowledge-affect speech perception in people with and without hearing loss, and the impacts of hearing loss on social participation. Alongside her research, Emma teaches Perception, Attention, and Learning to first-year undergraduate students, and teaches an advanced course on Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr. Adele Goman is a Lecturer at Edinburgh Napier University and Associate Faculty of the Johns Hopkins Cochlear Center for Hearing and Public Health. During her undergraduate degree, she undertook advanced modules in hearing science and completed research projects in the auditory perception laboratories, which led her to pursue a Ph.D. She received her Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of York, in which she investigated the clinical and cost effectiveness of interventions for adults with severe to profound hearing loss. She then completed postdoctoral training with a focus on hearing loss epidemiology, public health and clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. Her current research interests include the individual and societal impact of hearing loss and hearing loss interventions on health and wellbeing, and addressing barriers and inequalities in hearing care and hearing technology utilisation.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52078205993234,"sku":"9780192844705","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_3fae5015-6287-4838-bcad-77c436c40679.jpg?v=1772535583","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/how-we-hear-an-introduction-to-auditory-perception-9780192844705","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
