Hearing Aid Text Book

[Mzungu]

Hi,

I am UK based dispenser working for one of the 'big' companies near London. I am registered with the HPC in the UK.

In a nutshell I have no notes left from my training days and would like to brush up on my audiology knowlege and hearing aid technology skills.

Can anyone recommend a good text book or web service.

many thanks

Either the Harvey Dillon - Hearing Aids one or the Andi Von Lanthen one. Personally I found the Von Lanthen one better, but the Dillon one has more detail and is wider ranging.

Both are excellent books, I would lean towards Andy Von Lanthen, it is a very easy to read.
Theodore Venema has a nice book on compression - Interesting discussion about channel free

Thanks for the advice, I've read some of Harvey Dillon's on google books, its seems a tad to technical for me in all honesty. Its also 10 years old now, though I hear he is going to release a new one soon, wonder if it will make Richard and Judy's reading list? (You need to British to get that attempt at a joke).

Dillons book is old but covers the basic principles of amplification. It is a must read..

I wish I could find textbooks that didn't have to include every single source in the body of the information! Wouldn't footnotes referencing the source clear up the information part?

I like charts - rather ones that are in easy steps. I'm not a scientist nor an electronic specialist, just a average joe.
