I'm not an audiologist but I've had a few hearing tests and was mildly interested in knowing a bit more about the technology behind them. (It also helped that I was able to pick this book up at a charity sale for $3.50. I noted that the most recent copyright was for 2012 so thought it might be reasonably up-to date. However, I realised after a bit of detective work that this was basically the edition published in 2000 with very few papers referenced later than this date....and most of them by John Clark who is one of the authors. So that has devalued its usefulness quite a bit. This dating was fairly obvious with regard to something like MRI scans. Rather than being regarded as being fairly routine (as is my experience over the last few years) they seem to be treated as kind of "gee whiz" technology in the book. Clearly, audiology is a fairly fast moving field and it's pretty hard for a text like this to be kept up to date. (Though I think a gap like 12 years is a bit long for a totally new (re-written) edition to be produced).
Some of the sections that I've read were interesting and useful to me and I learned a few new things And I'll probably go back and read some additional chapters though most unlikely that I will read from cover to cover. Three stars from me.
