Overview

Up-to-date information on all aspects of hearing aids: their technology, how they alter sound, and how they are prescribed, selected, fitted, measured and evaluated. Comprehensive - Technologically oriented topics, people oriented topics, and many that fill the gap between these. Theoretically sound - Issues and findings explained rather than just discussed or reported. Recommended practices are based on research findings wherever possible. Practical - Tips, tables and procedures that will end up pinned onto the walls of clinics. Accurate and factual - Authoritatively written, comprehensively referenced, and extensively reviewed by leaders in each field. Understandable - Synopses, key paragraphs, and in-depth material guide the reader from basics to a detailed knowledge of the material. Integrated and cross referenced - Chapters build on previous chapters. Duplication is avoided in a way that can only be achieved in a sinle-author text. Leading - contains research findings and procedures that have not yet appeared anywhere else.
