Audiologist Wow!
Kevin Sanders Kettletown

The first-ever novel written by an audiologist about audiologists.
A comic novel about audiologists, hearing aids, and clinic life.
Based on a true story.

Set in 2006, in a suburban audiology store, Kevin is haunted by a past relationship and a subsequent suspicious car crash. He just wants to forget the past, do hearing tests, fit hearing aids, drink coffee out of branded mugs, and maybe change the lives of his patients for the better.

But the patients have other ideas. So do the youths who “Happy Slap” Kevin for viral content, a colleague who's so dull paint tells you to watch him, and a receptionist who refuses to stop rearranging his office. Random life shakes loose memories, and Kevin becomes increasingly unsound—the result is anything but “best practice.”

Audiologist Wow! is a farcical, tragic, and daring insight into love, responsibility, and the practice of healthcare.
