5.0 out of 5 stars Best investment I ever made, February 10, 2007

By	S. Callaway "Danish city girl" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too old but some ok basic concepts, January 12, 2008

By	J. Young "Just a dad" (JACKSONVILLE, NC United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was published in 2001. As such there is no information regarding open fit OTE hearing aids. I also could not find any information regarding cochlear dead regions and the use of hearing aid fitting for patients who may have that problem.

If you can find a cheap used copy maybe think about it but overall it is a dated reference. Do an internet search at Hearing Journal, Hearing Review, American Academy of Audiology, or any number of other sites and get better more up to date information then this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Still have not received book., August 23, 2007

By	Jamie M. Daut "Gra Mo Chri" (Norfolk, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am very dissapointed as I bought this book on July 19, 2007, and I still have not received it. I am having to send out numerous e-mails to either get my $$ back or get the damn book I need for an upcoming class. What aggravation!
