Audiology is a relatively new discipline and acoustics a well-established branch of physics. The two disciplines have broadened their applications in recent years, but while acoustics has remained firmly based in physics, audiology has by its nature become a paramedical discipline.
At the basic level, this book provides an explanation of many of the general principles and special terms in acoustics that are relevant to clinical audiology and audiological science. At a more advanced level, it attempts to answer the needs of students of audiological science and audiological medicine.

Autorenporträt
Peter Haughton was born in London in 1941. After obtaining a degree in physics he joined a small research team in the Astbury Department of Biophysics at the University of Leeds where he was awarded a PhD for work on the mechanical properties of cellulose. He also enjoyed a short-term appointment in the botany department of the University of Washington where he did similar work. Two brief period of employment followed, one at a technical college, teaching mathematics and physics, and one in the University of Glasgow working on the rheology of silicon-based liquids. In 1975 he joined the medical physics department at Hull Royal Infirmary where his principal duties were to provide scientific support for the ENT and audiology departments.
