[AUDITORY] new book on hearing, by Geoff Manley



Very pleased to announce that Geoff Manley, winner of the ARO's Award of Merit 2016, has just released his book:

Ears wide open

This is the first and only book on hearing that was specifically written for lay persons. It is perhaps of particular interest to patients of audiologists. It describes in lay terms what sound is, how our ears are structured, where they came from in evolution, and how they function. Manley takes the reader through explanations of 50 years of research that, despite problems and failures, have led to our current understanding of the amazing facts behind how ears work and why they need protection. It emphasized how pervasive are the loud sounds of modern civilization that, without deliberate care, gradually lead to the loss of sensitive and clear hearing. This book should be in the waiting room of every ENT doctor and be recommended by them to intelligent and interested patients. It can also serve as a first introduction to students just beginning to become involved in hearing research.

Author: Geoffrey A. Manley. Paperback, Atmosphere Press, 162pp; ISBN: 979-8-89132-603-3.
