5.0 out of 5 stars Best introduction to Audiology you'll find., October 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Audiology (Hardcover)

This book is one I refer to again and again and again. Not too dry, very informative, accurate, and helpful tables and diagrams.

A must (or at least a should) for anyone interested in Audiology.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book delivers its title, December 26, 2001

This review is from: Introduction to Audiology (7th Edition) (Hardcover)

As an intro book, I found it extremely useful and packed with necessary information. Whoever said there was too much information to be found in this book is completely off the mark, although, this book is probably best suited to those who are pursuing a career in this field. The CD-ROM could have been more fully developed...

5.0 out of 5 stars A great start......., February 20, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Introduction to Audiology (7th Edition) (Hardcover)

I have a BS in Audiology and am going back for my Au.D -- and this book is excellent in bringing me back up to speed on the materials I haven't touched in nearly 10 years. It is concise (definitely not wordy) and hits all the basics, starting from the history of hearing checks to today's detailed technological miracles of testing. Could have a bit more of the anatomy, but other than that, it really is a great start for those wanting to enter the field of Audiology.
