This 81-page book is exactly as described in its title: it is a practical
clinical guide designed to direct the hearing professional in providing tinnitus
evaluation and (re)habilitation services to the tinnitus sufferer.
The book encompasses the audiological evaluation, the tinnitus evaluation
through questionnaires, frequency matching, octave confusion testing, intensity
matching, masking and masking levels, testing for legal applications, residual
inhibition testing, and audiological reports.
The rehabilitation sections include hearing aid considerations, masking, using
residual inhibition, hearing protection, dietary and lifestyle issues, and
audiological counselling.
The book provides practical, how-to-do-it advice guiding the hearing healthcare
professional through the entire process of evaluation and rehabilitation. It is
an applications book, rather than an academic research publication.
