Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read this book while preparing for a claim which my lawyer appealed to an administrative law judge. When preparing for the hearing, I was able to use it to help prepare my attorney to cross examine the Social Security Administration's (SSA) "vocational expert" (V.E.) I was initially put off by the price of this book, then by it's initial chapter, which deals with an overview and the issues and possible changes it was asked to recommend to the SSA on hearing disability policy. If you skip ahead to the chapters of interest, regarding hearing loss, you'll find the book highly educational and informative. It clearly explains the basics, then goes on to cover far more. The National Research Council was formed in 1916 and primarily advises the Social Security Administration and others on hearing disability issues. This book was written over a two year period, by a dozen achademics and hearing professionals, who don't disappoint. Once you get into the chapters of interest, you'll find it explains everything from the concept of sound and hearing to the changes on testing issues which they considered. This book can be read by non-professionals, and if you do read it, you'll be astounded. If you've every walked away from a hearing test and were confused by the myrid of symbols and data on your audiogram, this book clearly explains it all. I highly recommended it for those filing for a disability claim. It helped me win my appeal. However, you should also read other books which explain all the legal aspects of the social security disability process.
