Great text

If I'm ever in doubt, I go check out this Katz book. It doesn't always have everything I want/need, but that's a rare occurrence. This handbook is truly comprehensive and an excellent resource.

Essential for understanding hearing science

Comprehensive information edited by a premier audiologist. An essential tool for the understanding of hearing science. Also beneficial for anyone who wishes to understand and assist a hearing impaired friend or relative.

Coperhensive & precise handbook

This handbook is concerned with clinical practis of audiology. It provides a through revision for basic audiological evaluation procedures such as audiometry & impeancemetry. Special test battery , Central auditory testing, Evoked response audiometry and auditory rehabilation measures including hearing aids and assistive lesitining devices all have been disscused in very comperhensive and fruitfull manner. However its chapters concerned with Otoacoustic emissions and cochlear implantations - in my point of view - are insuffecient and in need for more deepinig. It is an important text for every audiologist
