Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their preface, the authors highlight the great social and medical importance of hearing loss in the elderly, an ever-increasing prob lem. It is, therefore, most appropriate that a monograph, devoted to research in this field, features as an addition to the Bloomsbury Series in Clinical Science. Written by two leading authorities, the book reviews the past and present literature, details the clinical aspects and considers the electrophysiological and histopatho logical issues basic to the overall problem. It continues the high standard and excellence fostered by previous issues in the Series. London, August 1990 Jack Tinker Preface The number of very old people in the community is steadily increasing so the hearing loss that many of them endure has become a disorder of social and medical importance. Only by a greater scientific knowledge of old age deafness can there be any possibility for improvement in the care offered to its sufferers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: n ageing population poses an interesting challenge for New Zealand health practitioners in the near future. While a considerable volume of research has analysed the possible significance for health infrastructures and individuals for common conditions in the elderly such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, the impact of an increase in hearing impairments amongst an ever increasing ageing population has been under studied in this country. Prior research in this field has shown a significant positive relationship between the severity of hearing loss and the experience of disability and hearing handicap (1-4). Negative consequences of hearing loss in the elderly are known to include depression (5), social isolation and withdrawal (6). Restrictions to participation and disadvantages in participation due to hearing loss have been shown to affect overall quality of life (2, 4). Rehabilitation with amplification can greatly improve the negative effects of hearing handicap in this population (1, 7). However hearing aids are to a large extent under utilised by this age group (8, 9). The current study used a qualitative approach to investigate the effects of hearing loss on a group of elderly living independently in the Auckland community. The study was looking to understand the ways that hearing loss is a part of elderly people's lives, as seen from their perspective. Also of interest were the coping mechanisms that people in this group employ to help them with hearing difficulties. It is hoped that gaining information and understanding of elderly people's perspectives on their hearing handicap and disability will contribute to enhancing a hearing health professional's ability to better treat this age group. Interviews and hearing screens were carried out in the participant's home, and later analysed using a general inductive approach (10) to qualitative analysis, which categorizes data into themes within a hierarchy. Results indicated that complex interactions between hearing loss and other aspects of a persons daily life influence the experience of hearing impairment and the effect that it can have on self perceived quality of life. Future research is needed in this area to further understand the experience of elderly with hearing loss both in the community and in care settings, and to address the significant under use of hearing aids that can reduce disability in this age group.

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of hearing - be it gradual or acute, mild or severe, present since birth or acquired in older age - can have significant effects on one's communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health. Despite this, many people with hearing loss do not seek or receive hearing health care. The reasons are numerous, complex, and often interconnected. For some, hearing health care is not affordable. For others, the appropriate services are difficult to access, or individuals do not know how or where to access them. Others may not want to deal with the stigma that they and society may associate with needing hearing health care and obtaining that care. Still others do not recognize they need hearing health care, as hearing loss is an invisible health condition that often worsens gradually over time. In the United States, an estimated 30 million individuals (12.7 percent of Americans ages 12 years or older) have hearing loss. Globally, hearing loss has been identified as the fifth leading cause of years lived with disability. Successful hearing health care enables individuals with hearing loss to have the freedom to communicate in their environments in ways that are culturally appropriate and that preserve their dignity and function. Hearing Health Care for Adults focuses on improving the accessibility and affordability of hearing health care for adults of all ages. This study examines the hearing health care system, with a focus on non-surgical technologies and services, and offers recommendations for improving access to, the affordability of, and the quality of hearing health care for adults of all ages.

This book was released on 2019-01-03 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Auditory Brain and Age-Related Hearing Impairment provides an overview of the interaction between age-related hearing impairments and cognitive brain function. This monograph elucidates the techniques used in the connectome and other brain-network studies based on electrophysiological methods. Discussions of the manifestations of age-related hearing impairment, the causes of degradation of sound processing, compensatory changes in the human brain, and rehabilitation and intervention are included. There is currently a surge in content on aging and hearing loss, the benefits of hearing aids and implants, and the correlation between hearing loss, cognitive decline and early onset of dementia. Given the changing demographics, treatment of age-related hearing impairment need not just be bottom-up (i.e., by amplification and/or cochlear implantation), but also top-down by addressing the impact of the changing brain on communication. The role of age-related capacity for audio-visual integration and its role in assisting treatment have only recently been investigated, thus this area needs more attention. Relates the techniques used in the connectome and other brain-network studies to the human auditory-cortex and age-related hearing loss research findings Examines the side effects of age-related hearing impairment and their impact on the quality of life for the elderly Evaluates the importance of multi-modal means in the rehabilitation of the elderly with hearing aids and cochlear implants Discusses the role of neurostimulation and various training procedures to halt, or potentially reverse, cognitive decline in the elderly

Download or read book The Effects of Genetic Hearing Impairment in the Family written by Dafydd Stephens and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-10-02 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been an explosion of studies in the field of genetic hearing impairment in the past decade, associated with major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms and conditions involved. However, a recent review has highlighted the very limited number of studies on the effects of such hearing impairment on the individuals and families of those concerned. In The Effects of Genetic Hearing Impairment in the Family, under the aegis of the European Union GENDEAF programme, the editors have taken the first steps to address this deficit in our knowledge and understanding of this topic. The book addresses the problem by secondary analyses of existing large scale population studies, by prospective investigation of individuals with a family history of hearing impairment and by specific studies on patients with otosclerosis and neurofibromatosis 2 and their families. In addition several chapters look at the specific impact of deaf culture, ethnicity and religion on reactions to deafness and the specific needs in genetic counselling. This book represents an important first step in this field and should be an invaluable resource for all professionals involved with people with hearing impairments.
