About The Book
This updated, second edition of The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology, and Clinical Correlates remains an essential text for audiology students and clinicians. The text is designed to provide comprehensive coverage of the anatomy and physiology of the central and peripheral auditory systems. Readers will benefit from the important link between science and clinical practice, with integrated clinical correlates found in each chapter.
Key Features
- Presents balanced coverage of both the peripheral and central auditory systems
- Integrated clinical correlates establish the link between science and practice
- Substantial use of review articles and secondary sources enhances general understanding
- Numerous anatomical sketches and photographs supplement learning
New to this Edition
- A newly designed color interior and many full color images provide increased readability
- A new chapter providing an overview of normal development of the auditory system, plasticity of the central auditory system, and aging effects on the peripheral and central auditory systems
- A number of new illustrations
- New and updated information on synaptic ribbons, neuropharmacology of cochlear function, cryoloop cooling, and the vascular network of the brainstem
- Updated references, review articles, and readings
- Access to a PluralPlus companion website that includes PowerPoint lecture slides and an image bank

Frank E. Musiek, PhD, CCC-A, is Professor and Director of the NeuroAudiology Lab, Dept. of Speech Language and Hearing Sciences University of Arizona. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Connecticut and former Professor and Director of Audiology at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.
Jane A. Baran, PhD is Professor Emerita in the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her primary research and clinical interests are in the areas of (central) auditory processing disorders, auditory evoked potentials, and neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the auditory system. She is coauthor of three books, Neuroaudiology: Case Studies, The Auditory System: Anatomy, Physiology and Clinical Correlates, and Disorders of the Auditory System. In addition, she has authored or co-authored a number of journal articles and book chapters in the areas of normal and disordered auditory processing, language processing, auditory evoked potentials, and auditory neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. She has presented numerous research papers and educational workshops at regional, national, and internationals meetings. Dr. Baran is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the 2001 Recipient of the Clinical Educators Award from the American Academy of Audiology, a 2005 Recipient of a Recognition Award for Special Contributions to Higher Education from ASHA, and the 2013 Recipient of the Journal of the American Academy of Audiology Editor’s Award. She also is one of a select group of scholars to receive the Carnegie National Scholar Fellowship Award from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning.
