I didn't read the whole book. The last half is a list of things related to hearing loss, which I looked at but didn't read all of it. The first half of the book gives some information on signs of hearing loss, causes, and information on hearing aides and cochlear implants. It gives a decent overview of the topics. It doesn't give much in depth information though.
