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.
If you are a HIS or dispensing audiologist who loves the "geeky" side to hearing aids this book will make your day. If not, you'll have to work through it slowly and perhaps learn more than you ever cared to know about physics.
I'm just an interested amateur, but this books covers lots of areas in some depth regarding the technology and fitting of hearing aids. It would be nice to see a little more mathematical/engineering approach, but this book seems to be aimed at audiologists, and is well suited for that use.
This book isn't up to date per se (OTC's in particular), however, the basic information it contains is fantastic. I give credit to this textbook for helping me to pass the national exam for NBC-HIS, without which I feel I may have very likely failed. The book is thorough in its approach to hearing aids and contains a great amount of information that all hearing professionals need to know. I keep my copy in my library as a ready reference. The only reason that I do not give it five stars is that it is 10 years old. Apart from this, it is an excellant book to study and keep as a useful reference. I highly recommend it.
The 2012 (Second Edition) of Dr. Harvey Dillon's Hearing Aids textbook:The original edition of this text was a valuable introduction to hearing aids for audiology students around the world. In this second edition Dr. Dillon has greatly expanded on core topics related to the understanding of hearing aid function and patient outcomes. The increased depth and breadth of information will carry students through the majority of their academic career and into clinical practice. This should be a first semester purchase for all audiology students.
Great structure of the themes, lo recomendaria para todos aquellos que tratan a personas con problemas auditivos y tienen distintas necesidadesde amplificacion, I'll recommend this book for those professionals who deal and treat persons with hearing deficits.
Useful book to get the engineering details that goes into hearing aids! Not easy to understand! Geared towards those who want to understand what programs and engineering facts goes into hearing aids. Not so much clinical points to use!
perfect for any audiology studentGives a detailed overlook on hearing aids, how they work and the key implications of their use
