Hearing Disorders (3rd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Others have said it more eloquently but let review my reasons for being disappointed with this text. First, in the paperback edition, the photographs are reproduced so poorly as to be indiscernible. Secondly, otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are discussed within the chapter on short-latency auditory evoked potentials instead of being treated in a separate chapter. Thirdly, the chapter on medical imaging is crippled by the poor photographs. Fourth, the chapter on congenital deafness is nearly 2 decades out of date due to advances in OAE, middle latency AEPs and human genome studies. The chapter on vestibular assessment is a nice historical recount appropriate for the beginning student in auditory function.
In short; this text is just showing it's age which is no fault of the author. I wish my instructor had spent time finding a better value for my $90.
