Self-Assessment of Hearing by William Noble
This book represents both a reference text and a collection of arguments about self-assessment of hearing abilities, the effects of hearing impairments, and the effects of interventions to address these impairments.
After the first version of the book Self-assessment of hearing was published in 1998, the World Health Organization (WHO) redefined the term ' handicap 'This affected questionnaires designed to capture how a person perceives his or her handicap. In light of the above, it was natural to draft a new edition of the book to include the latest work with SSQ and also to demonstrate how the edited WHO-definitions affect outcome measures in the different subjective tools. The book Self-assessment of hearing is divided into two parts. The first part presents basic theories, concepts and definitions relevant to the subject of self-assessment. The second part presents more than 300 references divided into categories, e.g. hearing aids, CI, and tinnitus - The book is written so that regardless of background or previous experience with the questionnaires, you are clearly guided through theoretical psychometrics, definitions, and practical applications. Moreover, the book demonstrates how to apply the questionnaires in clinical work and research and the book thereby plays an important role in the audiology literature. I believe, and so does the author, that in the future self-assessments will play an important role within the field of audiology. --Elisabet S.
