Book excerpt: Although one-sixth of the adult population acquire a hearing disability its effects have hitherto received little attention in the literature. This work constitutes an important first step in remedying the neglect there has been of postlingual hearing loss. The volume describes the first systematic attempt to obtain an understanding of the effect of hearing loss on psychological well-being and on family, social and work life. Topics covered include a review of existing knowledge, the implication of hearing loss in paranoid mental states, the relationship of audiological to psychological and psychosocial variables for all types and degrees of hearing loss, the handicapping nature of severe sensorineural hearing loss and the effects on normally hearing members of a family. Such a study draws many conclusions for the rehabilitation of adults with acquired hearing loss and will be vital reading for audiologists, hearing therapists, speech and hearing scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists and those therapists concerned with community medicine, and for social workers who come into regular contact with the hearing impaired. FROM THE PREFACE: One sixth of the adult population of Britain acquires a significant hearing loss in adult life. Very little is known about the disorder or about the effect that it has on people's lives. During recent years, however, a certain amount of reserch on acquired hearing loss has been initiated. The purpose of this book is to fill a gap in this research by describing what I believe to be the first-ever systematic investigation into the psychological and psychosocial effects of acquired hearing loss in adults of working age. In particular, this book examines the effect of hearing loss on mental health and psychological well-being, work, family, and social life. It then relates findings in these areas to audiological variables such as onset, type and degree of hearing loss, speech comprehension, and the amount of benefit obtained from a hearing aid. Implications for rehabilitation are also considered. Indeed, given that the book focusses on people who have owned a hearing aid for at least a year, it can also be viewed as an evaluation of existing rehabilitation services. It is hoped that the book will prove useful for those whose professional work brings them into contact with the hearing impaired, and for social scientists, researchers, and members of the caring professions who want to know more about what it means to live with a communication disability. FROM THE FOREWORD: In the four decades since World War II, a number of important studies have been made of the psychological and psychosocial consequences of prelingual hearing loss. Despite the fact that individuals with acquired, postlingual hearing loss are at least 100 times more common, they have hitherto been neglected. Alan Thomas's monograph constitutes an important first step in remedying this neglect. The differences between the two groups are worth considering. The prelingual group in many ways constitutes a distinct subset of the population, differing markedly in their means of communication, and so has attracted the interest of psychologists and linguists for theoretical as well as practical reasons. Those with hearing loss acquired after development of language are merely the general population with a blunted auditory input, a view supported by the findings of the two studies reported in this book. It is to be expected, therefore, that the changes to be found will be far more subtle. What is surprising is the degree of psychological change found in certain of the present groups--ranging from 18 to 19% in the basic study groups to 57% in one subset--compared with 5% in a normally hearing control group. The reasons for this aspect of handicap are examined and discussed at considerable length, with much detail provided of other aspects of handicap experienced by these hearing-impaired individuals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a painstaking and scholarly introduction to the management of children and adults who have problems of communi cation related to, or in addition to, mental disorder. It is a relatively unexplored field having received scant attention until recent years, but the quality of the work included here gives a clear indication that the area should move from the periphery into a main stream position in the education and practice of speech therapists. Although all students in training receive some teaching in the area of psychiatry it tends to be limited to a brief consideration of the role of the psychiatrist, and clinical psychologist - very rarely the speech therapist. It has been proposed that the education of the speech therapist who intends to enter this difficult but rewarding field should be developed at post graduate level and there are strong arguments given in this volume to support the idea. Claims that the field is neglected during initial training are, however, well founded and this volume should alert those responsible for the education of speech therapists to this deficiency.
Download or read book Adjustment to Adult Hearing Loss written by Harold Orlans and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-05-10 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985, the chapters in this book were, with two exceptions, first prepared for and discussed at a monthly research seminar series on Hearing Loss in Adulthood during the 1983-1984 academic year. One of the exceptions was included to fill a major gap in the literature dealing with the experience of persons who suffer a moderate hearing loss in midlife. The other, by the editor, presents his observations and reiterates significant points made by a number of seminar members. As a whole this book shines a light on the experience of hearing-impaired people, particularly the loss of hearing in later life.

This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1985. Detailed exploration of the dynamics of language within social psychology forms a social psychology of language which is distinct from other approaches. This volume presents some of the growing body of research in this area, with many theoretical models and ideas - chapters consider the relationship between language and social situations, looking at cognitive structures in how communication between individuals develops in childhood and beyond, how it defines social situations, influences others, expresses feelings and values, evokes social categorizations and how it can break down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication disabilities are common, although their precise nature and degree of severity vary greatly among individuals. They are among the most handicapping of disabilities because they isolate a person and in so doing restrict social, educational, and occupational opportunities. One of the purposes of this book was to bring together theoretical, practical, and clinical knowledge from several disciplines that bear on language and communication into some reasonably accessible form. The intent is to provide a broad and multi-faceted view of language development and language disorders. Thus, contributions from education, linguistics, psychology, pediatrics, psychiatry, neurology, neuropsychology, and speech therapy are included. They describe our current knowledge of language development, suggest classifications for language pathology, outline what is known of the epidemiology of language difficulties, consider assessment and therapy, alternative communication systems and the impact of the new technology on communication aids. The variety of perspectives that it provides will make it particularly useful to the range of specialists who are concerned with the development of communication skills and language disorders.
