What you'll read inside is state of the art, and designed to change your life!

This 2004 fully updated edition contains two new chapters: How to Map your own Audiogram and How Hearing Aids Positively Impact your Quality of Life and a more expanded section on ALDs.

Editorial Reviews

David Kirkwood
"...The authors bring a wealth of experience and expertise..." --David Kirkwood, Editor-in-Chief, The Hearing Journal
Paula Bonillas
"I wish this had been available years ago!" --Paula Bonillas, Editor, Hearing Health Magazine
Robin Holm
"...A must read...The pearls of wisdom you harvest...will last a lifetime." --Robin L. Holm, BC-HIS, Senior Editor, Audecibel
Library Journal
Clinical audiologist Carmen, who has been writing books on the topic of hearing loss since 1977, has gathered materials written by various audiologists that discuss hearing loss and how to manage it. Much information is given on the selection and care of hearing aids as well as other choices available to those seeking additional options. Other topics addressed include tinnitus, a ringing in the ears affecting millions of people, and assistive listening devices (ALDs) such as telephone amplifiers. Of particular use is the list of resources for both product information and support groups. Cochlear implants are briefly discussed, but Beverly Biderman's Wired for Sound: A Journey into Hearing (LJ 5/15/98) provides a much more in-depth discussion on this topic. Nevertheless, this handbook will assist anyone facing hearing loss and its resultant communication problems. Highly recommended for consumer health collections.--Janet Coggan, Univ. of Florida Libs., Gainesville
