Essentials of Modern Hearing Aids: Selection, Fitting, and Verification 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
The world-renowned authors have included numerous pre-fitting and post-fitting tests that can be conducted along with step-by-step protocols for their administration and scoring. They also review the selection of hearing aid styles and fitting arrangements, explain the process of obtaining an ear impression, and making critical decisions regarding earmolds and hearing aid plumbing. Essentials of Modern Hearing Aids provides guidance for selecting prescriptive fitting approaches and detailed protocols for the use of behavioral measures and real-ear speech mapping to both verify the fitting and assess special hearing aid features. Follow-up care and auditory training options also are reviewed, along with signal processing and technology.
Key Features:
- Included throughout the text are short paragraphs identified as "Technical Tips," "Key Concepts," "Things to Remember," "Points to Ponder," and "Soapbox" for quick reference.
- Interesting tidbits of information not quite relevant enough to include in the chapters, but yet too good to toss aside, are featured in the back of the text as "Endnotes."
- The text covers both foundation and direct clinical application.
- The veteran authors have over 100 years of combined experience in day-to-day patient care and clinical research.
Written in an accessible and easy-to-read style, this text includes not only reference information, but also tools supported by research and clinical experience. The information is presented in a way that is both accessible to clinical students with little experience in the field and with enough depth for even the serious hearing aid researcher. The text is also appropriate as a handy companion for busy clinicians a friendly resource where they can quickly find critical information needed for the next patient.

Editorial Reviews
Review
In all seriousness though, the layout and flow of the textbook are progressive yet traditional. To me, its length means that hearing aids and, more importantly, their provision are not the simplest of matters when higher forms of quality delivery and patient care are carried out. The textbook begins with the foundation of evidence-based practice and then the chapters march through a series of conventional steps and processes in the provision of hearing aids. The steps and processes are written with up-to-date descriptions and recent supporting references from peer-review research. All of which creates a modern approach to hearing aids. . . .
I will close this review with a comment on available supplements to this textbook which sets it apart from other textbooks on hearing aids. The textbook includes access to a companion website with files to aid the lecturer in the creation of teaching material such as prepared slides of tables and figures. Availability on the companion website means more students in varied training programmes can receive the same high-quality educational material. Such material can lead to not only better-educated professionals but also more practicing professionals with a flexible repertoire of clinical abilities. Deservedly so, this textbook is worthy of the world as its stage. Its educational information and practical wisdom will guide you through the many ages of becoming and being an audiologist." --Earl Johnson, US Department of Veterans Affairs, East Tennessee State University, Mountain Home, TN, USA in the International Journal of Audiology (Feb 2019)
