James Jerger: A Life in Audiology
This book is an autobiography by Dr. James Jerger, but this is also a book about the history of audiology. In the larger scheme of things, I guess it didn’t matter that Dr. Jerger, as a young recruit in 1946 went AWOL for several days, but it definitely adds colour to our field. It probably…

Verifying Monaurally and Binaurally Linked Telephone Programs
The tele-test handset provides an excellent means to measure the frequency response, gain and advanced features of hearing aid telecoil-based phone programs. This tool, paired with monitoring and follow-up, can help with troubleshooting and may contribute to increased patient use and satisfaction with telecoil-based hearing aid phone programs in their own environments by preventing dispensing of inappropriate telecoil responses.
Science Matters – From Person-Centred Moments to Person-Centred Culture
Laya Poost-Foroosh investigates the barriers in health professional practice for developing and enacting person-centred care.
