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.

Download or read book Hearing Loss written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-12-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.

Download or read book Sounds We Cannot Hear written by B. Kudryavtsev and published by The Minerva Group, Inc.. This book was released on 2001-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the achievements of a new, rapidly developing branch of science. Discovered very early in the twentieth century, inaudible sound immediately drew the attention of research workers in various branches of science and engineering. Several thousand scientific papers have already been published on the properties of inaudible sounds and their practical application. Supersonic vibrations were first used for practical purposes in France. Especially noteworthy in this connection are the works of Academician Langevin. Soviet scientists have also played a prominent part in developing the science of inaudible sounds and the methods of their practical application. In this book we shall tell of various discoveries in the field of inaudible sounds. Some of the applications of inaudible sounds may not justify our expectations in the future; it is quite possible that we shall make mistakes in our explanations of the action of supersound, and shall have to begin our work anew. The study of inaudible sounds in 1956 was an unlimited field of activity for investigators of nature, and it opened up immense opportunities for the application of the creative power of man.
