Modern Hearing Aids: Pre-Fitting Testing and Selection Considerations
Used Book in Good Condition
Modern Hearing Aids: Pre-Fitting Testing and Selection Considerations focuses on when the patients walk in the door and ends when they complete their post-fitting self-assessment surveys. The world renowned authors discuss the initial patient history and counseling, and a wide range of measures that can be used to determine patient needs. They have included numerous pre-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.
Key Features:
Included throughout the texts are short paragraphs identified as "Technical Tips", "Key Concepts", "Things To Remember", "Points to Ponder", and "On the Soapbox"
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 book as "Endnotes"
Infused with humor!
Written in an accessible and easy-to-ready style to be welcoming to university faculty and their students by including not just reference information, but tools supported by research and clinical experience, presented in a way that was accessible to clinical students with little experience in the field
Contains enough depth that even the serious hearing aid researcher would also find many pearls
The text is intended to be a handy companion for busy clinicians--a friendly resource where they can quickly find critical information needed for the next patient. The book is also appropriate as a supplementary textbook on amplification for graduate programs in audiology.
