"This paperback is excellent value … this is an easily read text for the early years’ trainee and a good revision for the unfortunate facing the exit exam." —The Journal of Laryngology and Otology

"Compact, and with a clear layout, at times it packs surprisingly focused and pertinent detail into brief discussions of vast topics. [...] It is certainly useful and informative, and could gain a wider audience amongst audiologists with a desire to better understand the medical/surgical work their tests underpin." — Matthew Hopley, Chief Audiologist, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS TrustUK, ENT & Audiology News.
