Christo Fourie is a Clinical Audiologist who has revolutionised the Australian hearing aid market.

Dominated for many years by retailers linked to or owned by the hearing aid manufacturers themselves, the marketplace has often offered clients limited choices at high prices.

When Mr. Fourie established his own hearing aid retail company, he determined to offer the widest range possible at the best value for money. He also wanted to make his clients feel that they - not the sale - were the most important part of the process and give them confidence they were getting the hearing aid that was right for them, not the one best for the retailer's bottom line.

First published as the Hearing Aid Buyers Guide, the Hearing Aid Buyers Companion is revised, expanded, and updated. Inside, Mr. Fourie explains how to find the best hearing aid for you - not the seller - and how to get a good deal no matter who you end up buying from. He also reviews improvements in technology, particularly with respect to Bluetooth enabled hearing aids and their applications, and how hearing aids can help mask tinnitus.

He also strips away some of the myths about hearing aids, clearly and simply explains how modern hearing aids work, and reveals the sometimes dirty tricks that can befall the unsuspecting buyer.

Techniques of Hearing: History, Theory and Practices
<p>Hearing, health, and technologies are entangled in multi-faceted ways. This edited volume addresses this complex relationship by arguing that modern hearing was and is increasingly linked to and mediated by technological innovations. <br>By providing a set of original interdisciplinary investigations that shed new light on the history, theory, and practices of hearing techniques, it is able to explore the heterogeneous entanglements of sound, hearing practices, technologies, and health issues. As the first book to bring together historians, scholars from media studies, social sciences, cultural studies, acoustics, and neuroscientists, the volume discusses modern technologies and their decisive impact on how "normal" hearing, enhanced and smart hearing, as well as hearing impairment have been configured. It brings both new insights into the histories of hearing technologies as well as allowing us to better understand how enabling hearing technologies have currently been unfolding an increasingly hybrid ecology engaging smart hearing devices and offering stress-free hearing and acoustic well-being in novel auditory environments. <br>The volume will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sound studies, sociology of health and illness, medical history, health and society, as well as those interested in the practices and techniques of self-monitored and smart hearing.</p>
