The combined path in Figure 5. Ear canal length was measured from the ear canal entrance along the center axis of the ear canal. For this person, the transition from cartilaginous to bony canal, as evidenced by the texture of the impression surface, commenced 9 mm into the canal on the posterior wall, at the second bend and completed 16 mm into the canal on the anterior wall.

Occlusion effect dB 20 Occluded 1 mm 15 2 mm 10 3. The mold or shell shown in C will produce a weak occlusion effect and will also have minimal leakage of sound from the hearing aid. In each case, the wavy lines show the vibrating anterior wall and the arrow shows the primary direction in which bone conducted sound will travel once it enters the ear canal. The looseness of fit in each diagram has been exaggerated for clarity. Diameters are in mm.

From the Author This book came into existence because there did not seem to be any single book that would be adequate as a text for courses on hearing aids or that could advise practicing clinicians on all aspects of hearing aids.

I have aimed to make the book both practically useful and theoretically sound. Issues are explained rather then described.

Wherever possible, practical recommendations are based on empirical research, and where there is no research to draw upon, the tentative nature of the recommendation or conclusion is indicated. Readers who already know the field well will notice that the book contains some data and clinical procedures that are published for the first time, as well as hopefully some new insights and perspectives into older issues.

The book is designed to be read on a number of levels. For readers who need only an overview of a topic, the synopsis at the beginning of each chapter should suffice. Most readers will hopefully be enticed to read further; the essential information on each topic is marked with a shaded bar in the margin.

These marked paragraphs are designed to be read, and to be understandable, without the intervening paragraphs. I think of the marked material as a thin book buried inside this thick book. Some academic courses may wish to restrict themselves to just this material, which includes approximately half the book.

The remaining material provides a greater level of detail. Finally, the most detailed comments are tucked away as footnotes and as sections in small print. The material at all levels is further segmented by presenting the most theoretical material and the most practical material in the form of self-contained panels.

These two types of panels are differentiated by their appearance and by the panel titles. From the Back Cover Praise for this book: "This book succeeds in its aim of providing a practically useful and theoretically sound comprehensive book on hearing aids It makes the most complicated concepts easy to understand, with excellent cross referencing I certainly wouldn't want to be without this book and I highly recommend it to everyone with an interest in hearing aids.
