Disappointed in quality of book by LR (Massachusetts)  1 Stars
August 13, 2009
This book was required for a class that I am taking as I pursue my clinical doctorate in audiology. When I received the book, I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the book given the price. It is a thirteen-year-old paperback third edition, and the cost was $109. The pictures and diagrams were of such poor quality that I could barely discern what was there. I realize that this is not the fault of Amazon.com, but rather an issue to be taken up with the publisher. I returned the book to Amazon and borrowed a third edition in hardback from a faculty member at my university. I would advise anyone who needs this book to try to find a hardback edition to purchase or borrow.
Of course I have great respect for Dr. Jerry Northern. However, the content of the book is more suitable for an undergraduate or entry level class. Hopefully in the near future there will be a suitable book in medical audiology for those at the graduate level.

NEVER RECIEVED THIS BOOK by M. Desai (MD) 1 Stars
August 18, 2007
I contacted the bookseller, and they simply said they had already shipped this book. I ordered the book in early January of 2007 for my college semester of January to May 2007. The book is very detailed, and was required for one of my college classes that semester. When I never recieved it, I had to keep borrowing a copy from my campus library. I was EXTREMELY dissatisfied with the way in which this matter was handled, as I was NEVER even given a refund on the price I had paid for this book.
