Editorial Reviews
Review
This type of book could easily find a niche with Audiologists or hearing-aid dispensers...with some refocusing, it could easily become a classroom text or clinical reference guide to hearing aid fittings. - Jeffrey DiGiovanni, PhD, Ohio University
Venema's text covers compression in more depth than Dillon's text, and Venema covers the topic in a format that is easy to understand. Venema presents a difficult topic in a user-friendly format. - Rebecca Henning, PhD, University of Wisconsin
I think this would be a great required book for hearing aid dispensers to read prior to being licensed. I don't have any text that covers compression this thoroughly. I think this is a very good book that thoroughly covers an aspect of hearing aids that is often not clear to many audiologists and dispensers. It is written in a language that is easy to read and understand. - Sarah Hickey, McIntire Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic
It's very user friendly, but I think case reviews would make it a better teaching tool. The strength is the simple writing, which clearly makes the points. It's brevity is good, as it's not overwhelming. The vision for the revision is good, but I think if it includes a few more technology topics it will be even more valuable. - Teri A. Hamill, Ph.D., Nova Southeastern University

Compression for clinicians,
This review is from: Compression for Clinicians (Paperback)
Basic information on compression would like more information of direction microphones and other options for hearing aids.

Ottimo con qualche ingenuità,
By Lucato Franco (Torino Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Compression for Clinicians (Singular Audiology Text.) (Paperback)
Un ottimo manuale che tutte le persone che lavorano nel settore audioprotesico dovrebbero leggere. Semplice, chiaro, per tutti. Peccato per la troppa fiducia nel protesizzare (negli esempi) ipoacusie a normoudenza nei gravi con protesi pretimpaniche cic.
