Product Description
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.

 Too old but some ok basic concepts January 12, 2008

This book was published in 2001. As such there is no information regarding open fit OTE hearing aids. I also could not find any information regarding cochlear dead regions and the use of hearing aid fitting for patients who may have that problem.
If you can find a cheap used copy maybe think about it but overall it is a dated reference. Do an internet search at Hearing Journal, Hearing Review, American Academy of Audiology, or any number of other sites and get better more up to date information then this.
 Still have not received book. August 23, 2007

I am very dissapointed as I bought this book on July 19, 2007, and I still have not received it. I am having to send out numerous e-mails to either get my $$ back or get the damn book I need for an upcoming class. What aggravation!
 Best investment I ever made February 10, 2007

Anyone in the field of Audiology knows this book as The Bible. I bought it four years ago and I use it as a reference book constantly. Do yourself a favor and bind this book because it will get worn! It is a comprehensive guide to hearing aids and it explains most terms in a simple and understandable manner. Some concepts will not seem simple right away, but read explanations from anyone else, and you will realize that Dillon is a master at explaining very complex concepts. I have taken two hearing aid courses based solely on this book and I strongly recommend it to anyone in our field.
