Book excerpt: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires all public facilities to provide assistive listening systems to allow communication access for patrons with hearing loss. To establish appropriate guidelines, the ADA used an advisory panel to make recommendations for the most effective means of increasing accessibility for patrons with hearing loss. Recommendations submitted by the advisory panel on assistive listening systems in 1999, indicated that of the three major assistive technologies-FM, infrared, and induction loop-induction loop systems were the least practical to choose. Induction loop systems are most effective when coupled directly to a personal hearing aid through the telecoil feature. The advisory committee reported that only "30% of modern hearing aids in the United States include a telecoil" and there was a "trend towards smaller and smaller hearing aids" that would not accommodate a telecoil. Personal communications with the researchers on the advisory panel revealed that these statements were not based on research data but were "educated guesses" based on annual hearing aid market reports published in trade journals. To obtain a more accurate estimate of the number of telecoils sold in the United States market, a survey was distributed to the top six hearing aid manufacturers requesting data on their sales of hearing aids with telecoils for the 2002 sales year. Data from the survey indicated that48% of hearing aids sold in 2002 contained a telecoil. Sales trends for each hearing aid style were also analyzed through published market reports and indicated that smaller styles were gaining popularity, however, larger hearing aid styles still accounted for 65% of the market's sales

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The loss of hearing - be it gradual or acute, mild or severe, present since birth or acquired in older age - can have significant effects on one's communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health. Despite this, many people with hearing loss do not seek or receive hearing health care. The reasons are numerous, complex, and often interconnected. For some, hearing health care is not affordable. For others, the appropriate services are difficult to access, or individuals do not know how or where to access them. Others may not want to deal with the stigma that they and society may associate with needing hearing health care and obtaining that care. Still others do not recognize they need hearing health care, as hearing loss is an invisible health condition that often worsens gradually over time. In the United States, an estimated 30 million individuals (12.7 percent of Americans ages 12 years or older) have hearing loss. Globally, hearing loss has been identified as the fifth leading cause of years lived with disability. Successful hearing health care enables individuals with hearing loss to have the freedom to communicate in their environments in ways that are culturally appropriate and that preserve their dignity and function. Hearing Health Care for Adults focuses on improving the accessibility and affordability of hearing health care for adults of all ages. This study examines the hearing health care system, with a focus on non-surgical technologies and services, and offers recommendations for improving access to, the affordability of, and the quality of hearing health care for adults of all ages.

This book was released on 2017-09-01 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Census Bureau has reported that 56.7 million Americans had some type of disability in 2010, which represents 18.7 percent of the civilian noninstitutionalized population included in the 2010 Survey of Income and Program Participation. The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) provides disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. As of December 2015, approximately 11 million individuals were SSDI beneficiaries, and about 8 million were SSI beneficiaries. SSA currently considers assistive devices in the nonmedical and medical areas of its program guidelines. During determinations of substantial gainful activity and income eligibility for SSI benefits, the reasonable cost of items, devices, or services applicants need to enable them to work with their impairment is subtracted from eligible earnings, even if those items or services are used for activities of daily living in addition to work. In addition, SSA considers assistive devices in its medical disability determination process and assessment of work capacity. The Promise of Assistive Technology to Enhance Activity and Work Participation provides an analysis of selected assistive products and technologies, including wheeled and seated mobility devices, upper-extremity prostheses, and products and technologies selected by the committee that pertain to hearing and to communication and speech in adults.

Book Synopsis Hearing Aid by : Dr Balasubramanian Thiagarajan
Download or read book Hearing Aid written by Dr Balasubramanian Thiagarajan and published by Otolaryngology online. This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the history of hearing aids, their design, currently available advances from the perspective of an otolaryngologist. This book has been designed to fill the knowledge gap that exists amongst otolaryngologists on this topic. Being surgeons otolaryngologists pay very little attention to this topic. Current advances in the field of electronics have not only improved the quality of hearing aids but also made them very small. Miniaturization in electronics has played a vital role in shrinking the size of these hearing aids. With the advancements that are taking place in battery technology the future hearing aids will not only remain small but also would be more powerful.

Book Synopsis Shouting Won't Help by : Katherine Bouton
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 28 million people in America and 350 million people worldwide live with hearing loss. How do these people and their families cope?

In this engaging and practical book, David Myers, who has himself suffered gradual hearing loss, explores the problems faced by the hard of hearing at home and at work and provides information on the new technology and groundbreaking surgical procedures that are available. Drawing on both his own experiences and his expertise as a social psychologist, Myers recounts how he has coped with hearing loss and how he has incorporated technological aids into his life. The family and friends of the hard of hearing also face adjustments. Myers addresses their situation and provides advice for them on how best to alert loved ones to a hearing problem, persuade them to seek assistance, and encourage them to adjust to and use hearing aids.
