Noise and Hearing V 1 (Paperback, Volume 1): L Luxon Noise and Hearing V 1 (Paperback, Volume 1)
L Luxon
R3,885 Discovery Miles 38 850 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Noise damage to hearing health is a health risk, which is associated with both civilian and military occupations as well as certain leisure activities. Occupational noise damage to hearing must date from the Bronze Age, when man first began to fashion metals some five thousand years ago. The rapid growth of industrialisation over the past two centuries has produced what might be termed as the current civilian epidemic of occupational noise induced hearing loss. This series seeks to address points relevant to current knowledge of the subject. The volume should prove useful to members of the many disciplines that have an interest in this subject.

Neil S. Glickman, Wyatte C Hall
R1,217 Discovery Miles 12 170 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

Language Deprivation and Deaf Mental Health explores the impact of the language deprivation that some deaf individuals experience by not being provided fully accessible language exposure during childhood. Leading experts in Deaf mental health care discuss the implications of language deprivation for a person's development, communication, cognitive abilities, behavior, and mental health. Beginning with a groundbreaking discussion of language deprivation syndrome, the chapters address the challenges of psychotherapy, interpreting, communication and forensic assessment, language and communication development with language-deprived persons, as well as whether cochlear implantation means deaf children should not receive rich sign language exposure. The book concludes with a discussion of the most effective advocacy strategies to prevent language deprivation. These issues, which draw on both cultural and disability perspectives, are central to the emerging clinical specialty of Deaf mental health.

Intracranial and Inner Ear Physiology and Pathophysiology (Hardcover): A. Reid Intracranial and Inner Ear Physiology and Pathophysiology (Hardcover)
A. Reid
R5,233 Discovery Miles 52 330 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book, which brings together some 30 contributors from the leading experts in this field, is based on papers presented at the Second International Conference on Intracranial and Inner Ear Fluids: Basic Aspects and Clinical Applications, held in Bath in 1997. The aim of the meeting was to bring together neuroscientists, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, neurologists and audiologists to discuss the following topics: intracranial and inner fluid interactions; the endolymph/perilymph/cerebrospinal fluid and associated disorders; non-invasive measurement of intracranial and inner fluid pressures; clinical aspects with particular reference to symptomatology, diagnosis and treatment; and comparative fluid models. Combining the clinical and research aspects of fluid and pressure regulation in the intracranial and intralabrynthine compartments as well as discussions on the clinical implications of abnormal fluid pressure is an innovative idea. The two topics have much in common. Maintaining both the intracranial pressure and the intralabrynthine pressure with normal limits is important for the normal functions of both the central nervous system and the ear. Communication between the intracranial space and the intralabrynthine space and their inter-relationships have been under-appreciated. These inter-relationships allow the possibility to measure intracranial pressure non-invasively by measuring the intralabrynthine pressure.

D. Stephens
R2,304 Discovery Miles 23 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The European Union Concerted Action Programme on Genetic Hearing Impairment is concerned with co-ordinating work in this field to advance progress across the European Union, and with promoting collaboration with countries, such as the USA, outside the EU. The aim is to bring together clinical geneticists and audiologists, as well as basic scientists and other clinicians with a general interest in this field, to standardise the audiological and terminological approaches and publish state of the art interdisciplinary studies. This volume reports on the first symposium, focusing primarily on an update of the results of gene localization and identification within the field and the development of more relevant audiometric and vestibulometric investigations. The two opening chapters offer background information on the potentials and application of gene therapy in hearing disorders, and the progress so far, and the value of radiological investigations in congenital hearing impairment. There then follows coverage of the first co-ordinated studies. The audiometric chapters cover the criteria for use in linkage studies, the detection of carriers of recessive impairment and a description of a new technique for vestibular assessment in such individuals. Also includes in the book are a review of gene localization and identification in non-syndromal autosomal recessive hearing impairment, papers on gene localization in dominant and recessive non-syndromal hearing impairment, and several studies highlighting the relevance of mitochondrial mutation in the production of genetic hearing impairment. The developments in certain syndromal conditions such as Stickler syndrome, Hemifacial microsomia and Usher syndrome are also discussed.

R2,430 Discovery Miles 24 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who has a severe or profound hearing loss. A cochlear implant does not cure deafness or hearing impairment, but is a prosthetic substitute which directly stimulates the cochlea. There are over 250,000 users worldwide with 12,000 in the UK. This book is a multidisciplinary guide to cochlear implantation in children and adults with sensorineural hearing loss (where the root cause lies in the inner ear or sensory organ, ie the cochlear and associated organs). Beginning with discussion on the aetiology of hearing loss and assessment of cochlear implant candidacy, the next chapter discusses preoperative cochlear implant imaging. Each of the following sections provides in depth coverage of different types of cochlear implantation and their potential outcomes. The final sections examine miscellaneous topics such as music perception in cochlear implantation, drug eluting electrodes, cost effectiveness, and reliability reporting. Authored by internationally recognised, US-based specialists, the text is further enhanced by clinical and surgical photographs and illustrations.
