Hearing Impairment - An Invisible Disability is the first work
of its kind to comprehensively cover all aspects of hearing
impairment. It covers the following categories through more than
100 contributions from all over the world to constitute an
encyclopedia of hearing impairment:
- Hearing Basics: What does hearing impairment mean? Its causes
and effects are explained through many real-world examples.
- Children: Childhood is a time when hearing impairment often
begins, so proper treatment at an early stage can help alleviate
difficulties and allow for as normal a life as possible. Many case
studies from both the developed and developing parts of the world,
including Indonesia and Latin America in the latter category, are
provided to aid comprehension.
- Hearing Aids: Through newly emerging technology and with the
help of electronics companies, new and affordable hearing aids are
being developed and marketed. The authors take a closer look at
this burgeoning field.
- Medical Aspects: Medical treatment of hearing impairment has
recently shown remarkable change, manifested in improved techniques
and applications all over the world. Although mainly of relevance
to researchers and practicing physicians, the clear explanation of
the medical and technical terminology is likely to be of interest
to all concerned with the future of hearing impairment.
- Social and International Help: With a wealth of assistance
from individuals, NGOs, and international organizations
specifically tailored to help the hearing impaired, those in need
of guidance can gain confidence from the knowledge that substantial
support is available to help them pursue a full and varied
life.
