Worst text in my 7 plus years of college by Julie Poore Peters (Nevada)

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!

poorly organized by linguist

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~

Great book by T. Andrews

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.

It's what the title says... by starfall

It's an introduction to audiology. If you're new to the discipline, then this is a pretty good starting point. However, it's not detailed enough for postgrad or research. For that I'd buy Katz's Handbook of Clinical Audiology or Roeser's Audiology Diagnosis.
