Download or read book Overcoming Meniere s written by Mark Knoblauch and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers Anderson and Harris once described Ménière¿s disease as one of the most debilitating diseases experienced by people who survive any illness. As a former Ménière¿s sufferer, Mark Knoblauch fully endorses that statement. For three years he was subjected to constant unsteadiness and dizziness along with unpredictable, violent attacks of vertigo. It took several visits to multiple physicians before he was finally diagnosed with Ménière¿s disease, a relatively obscure condition of the inner ear known to wreak havoc on an individual¿s balance and equilibrium. Once diagnosed, Mark was able to adopt a relatively simple lifestyle change that effectively eliminated his symptoms. In the years since adopting this lifestyle change he has not only remained almost symptom-free but has used his newfound health to successfully complete multiple marathons and even become an Ironman. Due in large part to the success of his lifestyle change, he wrote this book to not only provide an overview of just what Ménière¿s disease is but also outline for other sufferers how he has gone from at times struggling to walk to now living relatively Ménière¿s-free. Drawing from his background as a scientist, Mark provides the reader a detailed overview of Ménière¿s including the involved anatomy as well as the most recent research, along with a comprehensive look into how his adopted lifestyle change is thought to improve the symptoms of Ménière¿s disease. By detailing his own Ménière¿s journey as well as what has worked for him, Mark intends to provide other Ménière¿s sufferers a pathway which they themselves can follow in order to find similar relief from the devastating effects of Ménière¿s disease.

The story he shares his own very personal account from his desk to the pages of 'A Memoir Of Meniere's Disease' to you. ABOUT THE MENIERE MAN SERIES: When the Author was diagnosed with Meniere's, his ENT specialist handed him an A4 leaflet and told him to keep away from stress and to not eat salt. That was it! There were no books on the subject in bookstores or libraries. The internet was in its infancy - you couldn't even send an email. The Author was determined to avoid surgery and invasive medical options.Yet, with an information void, he had no clear directions. He had no choice, but to take recovery into his own hands. Armed with hope, determination and a positive attitude, he recorded daily accounts of what worked and didn't work, until he amassed five years of handwritten diaries, daily journals and notebooks. Once he recovered health, he was determined to ensure no one else should find themselves diagnosed with an "incurable illness" and with no consistent, insightful information. He thought deeply about the far-reaching effects of what he and his family had just been through. He believed that life-changing events happen for good reason. Using his personal experience of battling Meniere symptoms and making a recovery, he decided to write a series of coherent books to cover every aspect of this multifaceted condition from his point of view. On completion of his first manuscript 'A Memoir Of Meniere's Disease', three years later, he presented it to his two ENT specialists to review. Both professionals said, the insights gained on how to manage Meniere's, that this book was invaluable from a patients' perspective. Even medical people would benefit from his experience, they believed. Since publishing the first self-help memoir and a complete series of self-help books, during the past seven years, the Author's experiences and personal insights; his coherent and consistent information, helps make the world for Meniere's sufferers, a less frightening place than it once was.

Download or read book Philadelphia Sinners written by Kathryn Canavan and published by Lyons Press. This book was released on 2021-11 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who would you see first if you walked the streets of Philadelphia in 1961 or 1874 or 1945? Would you walk up Fairmount Avenue on April 3, 1945 just as famed bank robber Willie Sutton popped up out of a prison tunnel in broad daylight? You might have been one of the invited guests at serial killer H. H. Holmes' hanging at Moyamensing Prison on the gray morning of May 7, 1896. It still ranks as one of the most bizarre executions in city history. Perhaps you'd stroll past Mary Hill's picture-perfect mansion at Tenth and Pine just as her corpse was thrown from a second story window in 1868? Or, if you walked down Washington Lane on the first day of July 1874, could you have stopped the two men who lured little blond Charley Ross with candy? It was America's first kidnapping for ransom, the one that gave rise to the admonition, "Never take candy from a stranger." The case remained in the headlines for so long that it inspired the Leopold and Loeb kidnapping in 1924. Would you be sitting on your front stoop on sunny Alma Street in 1961 as Richie Blaney, clad in a freshly ironed shirt and Bermuda shorts, turned the key on his sedan, igniting the dynamite that blew most of his body into the back seat and sent his car hood aloft over the rowhouse roofs? Philadelphia is a city of firsts - first zoo, first library, first computer, first hospital, first university, first stock exchange, first art museum, first volunteer fire department. It also boasts the first bank robbery, the first octo-murder, first kidnapping for ransom, and the first arsenic murder ring complete with soothsayers, demon lovers, womanizing witch doctors and the evil eye. Al Capone served his first prison sentence here. H.H. Holmes met the hangman here. The real-life killers who inspired HBO's Boardwalk Empire lived and died here. Add to that murderous maids, bumbling burglars, self-made widows and some unflinching local heroes.

Download or read book Volume Control written by David Owen and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The surprising science of hearing and the remarkable technologies that can help us hear better Our sense of hearing makes it easy to connect with the world and the people around us. The human system for processing sound is a biological marvel, an intricate assembly of delicate membranes, bones, receptor cells, and neurons. Yet many people take their ears for granted, abusing them with loud restaurants, rock concerts, and Q-tips. And then, eventually, most of us start to go deaf. Millions of Americans suffer from hearing loss. Faced with the cost and stigma of hearing aids, the natural human tendency is to do nothing and hope for the best, usually while pretending that nothing is wrong. In Volume Control, David Owen argues this inaction comes with a huge social cost. He demystifies the science of hearing while encouraging readers to get the treatment they need for hearing loss and protect the hearing they still have. Hearing aids are rapidly improving and becoming more versatile. Inexpensive high-tech substitutes are increasingly available, making it possible for more of us to boost our weakening ears without bankrupting ourselves. Relatively soon, physicians may be able to reverse losses that have always been considered irreversible. Even the insistent buzz of tinnitus may soon yield to relatively simple treatments and techniques. With wit and clarity, Owen explores the incredible possibilities of technologically assisted hearing. And he proves that ears, whether they're working or not, are endlessly interesting.
Download or read book Shouting Won t Help written by Katherine Bouton and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2013-02-19 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For twenty-two years, Katherine Bouton had a secret that grew harder to keep every day. An editor at The New York Times, at daily editorial meetings she couldn't hear what her colleagues were saying. She had gone profoundly deaf in her left ear; her right was getting worse. As she once put it, she was "the kind of person who might have used an ear trumpet in the nineteenth century." Audiologists agree that we're experiencing a national epidemic of hearing impairment. At present, 50 million Americans suffer some degree of hearing loss—17 percent of the population. And hearing loss is not exclusively a product of growing old. The usual onset is between the ages of nineteen and forty-four, and in many cases the cause is unknown. Shouting Won't Help is a deftly written, deeply felt look at a widespread and misunderstood phenomenon. In the style of Jerome Groopman and Atul Gawande, and using her experience as a guide, Bouton examines the problem personally, psychologically, and physiologically. She speaks with doctors, audiologists, and neurobiologists, and with a variety of people afflicted with midlife hearing loss, braiding their stories with her own to illuminate the startling effects of the condition. The result is a surprisingly engaging account of what it's like to live with an invisible disability—and a robust prescription for our nation's increasing problem with deafness.
