“This is a thought-provoking and stimulating book for dipping into, for referring to, for speed-reading and for reading thoroughly from cover to cover.

“Beginning with an overview of hearing anatomy and physiology, this book for general readers explains how we hear, the different types of hearing loss, tests that diagnose and evaluate adult hearing loss, and what can be done to prevent hearing loss or improve hearing. It describes many types of hearing rehabilitation services, devices, and technology,such as cochlear implants and hearing aids, and outlines factors to consider when purchasing a hearing aid. It also discusses the psychological, social, and emotional effects of untreated hearing loss.”–SciTech Book News;>”The handbook would be useful to undergraduate audiology students as a complete overview of hearing loss. Graduate students would benefit from this guide as a resource for counseling their clients on their situation and options. The book is so clearly written, though, that nonprofessionals would also find it helpful in living with, understanding, and managing hearing loss…Highly recommended. Lo (more…)
