About the Book

Fitting and Dispensing Hearing Aids is an introductory book written for ENTs, prospective hearing instrument specialists studying to obtain their state license, audiology assistants, and speech pathologists working with hearing impaired adults. It also is an excellent introduction for Au.D. students or practicing audiologists just beginning work with hearing aid dispensing. This extremely practical and engaging book logically takes the reader from beginning to end of the entire hearing aid selection and fitting process. The chapters sequentially provide the reader with the essential knowledge needed to fit modern hearing aids, along with links to handy websites for further study and reference. The authors are experienced in the day-to-day fitting of hearing aids and have taught hundreds of students with a variety of backgrounds. They provide a consistent overview of the fundamentals of the entire hearing aid selection process. The chapters provide step-by-step guidelines covering both the art and science of hearing aid fitting. Fitting and Dispensing Hearing Aids: Interview with Brian Taylor, AuD Douglas L. Beck, AuD, speaks with Dr.Taylor about his new book, Fitting and Dispensing Hearing Aids, co-authored by H. Gustav Mueller. Read the interview here: http://www.audiology.org/news/Pages/20110913.aspx.

Review :
Douglas L. Beck Au.D., Board Certified Audiology, American Academy of Audiology, (June 2011): "The new book from Drs. Brian Taylor and Gus Mueller uniquely fills the need for an up-to-date, well written and comprehensive text for students and new practitioners interested in modern approaches, advances and technology with regard to hearing aid amplification." Rose L. Allen, International Journal of Audiology 2011, (2011): "... a valuable contribution to the present literature on hearing aids. The work is clinically based and provides step-by-step instructions and procedures. These protocols can be easily adapted to private practices, ENT physician offices, and university clinics - The authors and accomplished what they set out to do - provide the audiology community with a text that is educational yet entertaining ... The text reads well and the 'readability' is enhanced by the infusion of humor as well as a 'theme' for each chapter. From country western song lyrics to wine tasting to baseball and basketball, the authors have woven these 'themes' into the information to provide us a text that is entertaining and inspiring. This text rates a 10 on the RI (Readability Index, not to be confused with the Rollover Index) ... I would highly recommend this text to those in academia who want to add a course in hearing aids to their undergraduate programs or who would like to infuse more information on hearing aids into an undergraduate aural rehabilitation course. It is also a valuable resource for those working as audiology assistants or technicians. Hearing aid license boards may want to consider adopting some of the chapters in this text as mandatory reading for the license examinations. This text is a great addition to our selection of resources on hearing aids."
