Editorial Reviews

Review

"I have been surveying my students regarding this book. The general consensus is that the book is very functional and the appendices are very useful. There is usually concern regarding the cost at the beginning of the semester but most students report they keep the book and plan on using it in the future. There is not another book on the topic of educational audiology that is nearly as comprehensive."Mary Whitaker, Idaho State University

"The appendices are the most important feature of this book...they are user-friendly and I have seen them used in the school a great deal. I think the CD should be sold with the book. The tools contained in the CD are really excellent. This has been the single best resource in Educational Audiology that has ever been written."James Blair, Utah State University --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Educational Audiology Handbook (Singular Audiology Text) (Paperback)

I needed this book for a college class and bought it from Amazon since my college bookstore was out. It is a bit dated (and I hear that the new edition will be coming soon), but the material is good. I especially like having the pediatric word lists in the indexes so I can use them for MLV testing right away. I did not buy the supplemental disc because everything on the disc is included in print form in the indexes. This book was "new" and was wrapped in plastic, but the cover had some discolored spots. I just wish I hadn't had to spend this much for a book that is more than a decade out of date, but until it is revised, it's the only one for the subject matter and it's quite good in most areas.

For any educational audiologist who works in the schools, this is an invaluable resource. This will also benefit the clinical audiologist who works with children.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd edition clarification, October 10, 2011

From the Authors - See all my reviews

This review is from: Educational Audiology Handbook (Book Only) (Paperback)

The information displayed regarding the 2nd edition of the Educational Audiology Handbook is misleading. When you order the text you will receive the 2nd edition (June 2011) as well as the accompanying CD of forms, protocols, and other documents. When you click to open the book it currently reverts back to the 1st edtion and its contents- you will need to ignore this out-dated information. The 2nd edition includes 4 additional chapters as well as updated and new appendices. Also, do not order the CD that is listed as it went with the 1st edition and is now out of date. The publisher has asked Amazon to correct these issues.
