Coperhensive & precise handbookApril 8, 2000 9 out of 10 found this review helpful
This handbook is concerned with clinical practis of audiology. It provides a through revision for basic audiological evaluation procedures such as audiometry & impeancemetry. Special test battery , Central auditory testing, Evoked response audiometry and auditory rehabilation measures including hearing aids and assistive lesitining devices all have been disscused in very comperhensive and fruitfull manner. However its chapters concerned with Otoacoustic emissions and cochlear implantations - in my point of view - are insuffecient and in need for more deepinig. It is an important text for every audiologist
