Compression for Clinicians - Softcover

University of Western Ontario/Theodore Venema, Ph.D. is Professor of Audiology in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at University of Western Ontario in Canada. Prior to joining the UWO faculty, he was Manager of Audiology Education and Training at Unitron Industries, a global hearing aid manufacturer, where he conducted trials on new hearing aids and taught staff about hearing, hearing loss, and hearing aids. His areas of expertise are hearing aid dispensing and auditory brainstem response (ABR).

This type of book could easily find a niche with Audiologists or hearing-aid dispensers...with some refocusing, it could easily become a classroom text or clinical reference guide to hearing aid fittings. - Jeffrey DiGiovanni, PhD, Ohio University

Venema's text covers compression in more depth than Dillon's text, and Venema covers the topic in a format that is easy to understand. Venema presents a difficult topic in a user-friendly format. - Rebecca Henning, PhD, University of Wisconsin

I think this would be a great required book for hearing aid dispensers to read prior to being licensed. I don't have any text that covers compression this thoroughly. I think this is a very good book that thoroughly covers an aspect of hearing aids that is often not clear to many audiologists and dispensers. It is written in a language that is easy to read and understand. - Sarah Hickey, McIntire Ear, Nose & Throat Clinic

It's very user friendly, but I think case reviews would make it a better teaching tool. The strength is the simple writing, which clearly makes the points. It's brevity is good, as it's not overwhelming. The vision for the revision is good, but I think if it includes a few more technology topics it will be even more valuable. - Teri A.
