Reviews
"H. Martin, Journal of Laryngology and Otology, (2009): ""I was a little daunted when I flicked thought the book, due to the many mathematical equations and circuit diagrams ... However, I need not have worried, as the book is very well written and it is possible to follow the explanations without fully appreciating the details of the equations. ... An excellent reference resource for those involved in selecting and programming hearing aids and counselling users in the limitations of their aids."" Denise Hoysack, AuD, CCC-A, Otology & Neurotology, (2010): ""The author does a good job of explaining the complexities involved, the capabilities, and constraints of signal processing. Additionally, the book is littered with mathematical equations, graphs, charts, and figures to ease the difficulties of understanding the concepts discussed."" Ron Brouillette, PhD, Advisory Group on the Prevention of Hearing Impairments, (2009): ""... The text is easily understood and complete with specifics useful to those who desire to stay current with digital hearing aids technology."""

Author Information
James Kates, E.E. James M. Kates, E.E. holds the position of Research Fellow with hearing-aid manufacturer GN ReSound. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Speech Language and Hearing Sciences at University of Colorado in Boulder. Prior to moving to Colorado, he was Research Scientist in the laboratory of Harry Levitt at the City University of New York. He received the BSEE and MSEE degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1971, and the professional degree of Electrical Engineer from M.I.T. in 1972. He has developed many of the signal-processing algorithms implemented in the GN family of hearing aids, including the DFS feedback cancellation algorithm and the Warp-17 frequency-warped dynamic-range compression algorithm. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and a Fellow of the Audio Engineering Society, and is the author or co-author of 47 technical papers and holds 17 US patents with seven patents pending. A widower, he resides in Niwot, Colorado.
