We ordered this book from Metismedia and have not received it. I have contacted Metismedia and have not received a reply. I will not order from dentalBookshop again.

2 out of 5 stars.  Hardly used textbook at all, July 21, 2010
I was required to buy this text for a class, but I hardly used it. The text is not written well - it's hard to follow and extremely boring. The only times I've found the text useful is for looking up a couple of definitions in the glossary. Other than that, all of the information I've needed for my class has come directly from the lectures. My computer does not have speakers so I haven't even opened the cd, but again, I haven't needed that information either. This text may be more interesting to someone in the field of audiology; I am in the field of speech language pathology and just can't get interested in the audiology classes at all. I would say if you're taking a class online see if you can get by with just the lectures and don't waste your money on this text (I'm taking SST 456 through Northern Arizona University online).

1 out of 5 stars.  Worst text in my 7 plus years of college, October 7, 2009
I am returning to school for my third degree. This text is by far the worst book I have ever cracked. I am giving it a single star since I can't rate it with none. Paragraph after paragraph the text contradicts itself. My professor is scrambling to help a class of post bachelor students pass. How sad is this? Our online blackboard is flooded with text based confusion and examples of contradictions within the text. Upon completion of each chapter you are left with a sense of resounding confusion and the thought "am I really this stupid" then you talk to your peers and professor and find that noone has made sense of it and we are all in the audiology program! What else is there to say!

2 out of 5 stars.  poorly organized, September 21, 2008
This book is a bit too dry and recondite for beginners. The organization is terrible and explanation is not clear at all.

If you are a rookie about to entering the field of audiology. this book would only push you away~

4 out of 5 stars.  Great book, September 17, 2007
I have a profesor who doesn't know the first thing about teaching. The only way I am surviving is by keeping up with this book. It is so clear. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't always define the bolded key terms until a couple pages later.
