This book will serve to meet the needs of those studying Audiology, particularly of those who wish to become hearing aid audiologists. However, it is also an essential and valuable resource that will be of interest as a reference book, and should be in every hearing aid clinic’s reference collection. This new edition was needed because the field of Audiology has developed since the book was previously published, with important changes in standards and codes of practice. The book provides simple diagrams and photographs to assist the reader, and covers further detail and more diverse new areas than the previous editions. A comprehensive index makes it easy to locate the information needed.

This updated edition includes the important changes to the Hearing Aid Council regulations, and the changes in British standards. New tests, new prescriptive algorithms, developments in our understanding of how the cochlear works, and open jaw impressions are all included. The text also covers digital hearing aids. It should be helpful for those in training or who wish to revise and update their knowledge.

This book is an introduction to audiology for those who have little or no knowledge of the subject. It introduces basic aspects of audiology in a clear and accessible way. This initial knowledge is then developed to a depth which allows the reader to access more specialised journals and textbooks.
