The Hearing Healthcare Practitioner's Handbook: A Guide ... (ISBN 0971538506)

Good For Senior Patients:
"This is an easy, informative read. I recommend it to my senior patients who are concerned that trying to overcome a hearing loss will put them at risk of a bad purchase decision. Now they know what to expect from a hearing professional when they decide to purchase a hearing aid."

A wealth of solid, no-nonsense information:
Collaboratively written by auditory prosthetics specialists and practitioners Paul Popp and Gregg Hacket, The Hearing Healthcare Practitioner's Handbook: A Guide To The Successful Treatment Of Hearing Loss With Auditory Prosthetics is a thorough, comprehensive presentation on virtually all forms of hearing loss and their treatment, from auditory rehabilitation to assistive listening devices and the laws that govern them. A wealth of solid, no-nonsense information marks this first-class reference, and strongly highly recommended for the hearing health care practitioner as well as the non-specialist general reader who has experienced hearing problems and wants to learn more about what causes them and what can be done.

Read the qualifications carefully.:
I would recommend many texts written on hearing aids for consumers and health care personnel far more than this one. While certainly a practical manual for dispensers, this is not a book meant for audiology students or medical professionals (try Harvey Dillon's Hearing Aids or the Valente series instead). A well-written introduction to the topic, but not grounded fully in medical and scientific research to be a primary text or reference for audiologists.
