8 Foreword Both for those in training towards qualification in hearing aid audiology and for those simply wishing to revise and update their knowledge, it is a perennial problem to acquire one book which provides comprehensive and up-to-date material on hearing aid audiology. Principles of Hearing Aid Audiology meets the need for a text book which deals not only with the foundation sciences of hearing aid audiology but also the many and varied aspects of audiological practice where the objective is the rehabilitation of the hearing impaired through hearing aid prescription and fitting. In bringing together all the material contained in this book, Maryanne Tate has drawn on her considerable experience in the training of hearing aid audiologists as well as in dealing with the hearing impaired themselves. As a result, this book has total relevance to the needs of the many professional groups whose work brings them into contact with the hearing impaired. The very practical nature of hearing aid audiology is fully recognized so that the purely theoretical aspects are presented and explained with a view to supporting hearing aid audiology in practice. With so many audiology text books emanating from the USA, Principles of Hearing Aid Audiology will, I am sure, be greatly welcomed by readers in the UK. Undoubtedly, this book will feature prominently on any list of recommended reading in audiology and, at the same time, will serve as a very useful work of reference. Barry Downes, LLB, FSHAA Registrar of the Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists,
