Praise for the first edition: I cannot praise this
book too highly - it is undoubtedly now the benchmark text in this area,
and is an absolute essential for every audiologist and student. -Graham
Sutton, International Journal of Audiology, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2002One of
the best textbooks I have ever used...written by a researcher with a stellar
reputation [who is also] an expert on the clinical aspects of the
field...packed with information from both a theoretical and practical
perspective...makes difficult concepts comprehensible...from an instructor's
point of view, it is a sheer delight. -Adrienne Rubenstein, PhD, Professor,
