(Sedona AZ) Auricle Ink, publishers of The Consumer Handbook on Hearing Loss & Hearing Aids: A Bridge to Healing (Richard Carmen, Editor, ©2004, 250pp), announces release of its fully updated and revised Second Edition. This eleven-chapter consumer-friendly book is intended for those experiencing hearing loss and their families. The latest edition focuses more keenly on hearing problems with two new chapters—one on mapping your own audiogram (Kris English) and the other on the serious health consequences of untreated hearing loss on quality of life issues (Sergei Kochkin). Also, Dr. Carmen provides brand new questions and answers by the experts pertaining to hearing loss.
According to Auricle Ink's publicist Jo Stone, "This book has become an industry resource accompanying tens of thousands of new hearing aids. In the best interest of getting the word out on this latest edition, we will be giving away 1,000 of these books at our booth [#2513] to AAA members holding the ExpoCard Reader at the upcoming Salt Lake City convention. This will give audiologists a chance to review it and consider what so many others have done in making it an integral part of their dispensing practice. Most dispensers gift the book at the time of the earmold impression and recommend only 1-2 chapters that will strengthen their patient's hearing aid trial experience."
Preliminary 2004 reviews for consumers are in:
- "...the most important educational tool you will discover in your search for better hearing" (Dr. Douglas Beck, President and Editor-in-Chief, AudiologyOnline.com)
- "...straightforward and practical guidance on how to prevent hearing loss from diminishing your quality of life" (David Kirkwood, Editor, The Hearing Journal)
- "...excellent bridge for crossing over deep emotional, intellectual and physical barriers..." (Karl Strom, The Hearing Review)
