Strategies for Selecting and Verifying Hearing Aid Fittings

This current and expanded edition of a bestselling text is divided into four sections, organised to follow the sequence in which decisions are made regarding hearing aid fittings, and featuring new chapters on middle ear implants, hearing aid counselling, and infection control. Other chapters have been revised to reflect the latest developments in the field, such as:
* improving speech recognition with directional microphones
* changing standards for measuring real-ear performance
* new prescriptive procedures for severe hearing loss.

The text features contributions from internationally renowned experts in the field who share their extensive knowledge and clinical experience. It covers the six most common forms of hearing loss practitioners will encounter in their own practice - noise-induced, symmetrical, asymmetrical, unilateral, conductive, and severe hearing loss - with instructions on applying the newest technology to each hearing impaired group.
