Thieme Publishing Group Auriculotherapy
Book SynopsisThe continuation of Paul Nogier's findings Auriculotherapy is based on proven correspondences between locations on the external ear and the internal organs and systems of the body. The ear acts like an input/output terminal in direct contact with the central nervous system. Information on viscerosomatic states can be accessed via visual clues, skin electro-conductivity, and pressure sensitivity at specific points. The first part of Raphael Nogier's Auriculotherapy shows how acupuncture needles are used in sophisticated and powerful therapeutic interventions. The second part introduces the principles and practice of auriculomedicine, a true frequency medicine that evolved from Dr. Paul Nogier's auriculotherapy, his discovery of the VAS (Vascular Autonomic Signal) in the pulse and his consequent observations of the diagnostic and therapeutic properties of radiant light frequencies on the skin. The material presented here builds on and updates the work of the author's father, Dr. Paul Nogier, who scientifically explored and charted the auricular microsystems in the 1950s. A serviceable, contemporary work for students of acupuncture as well as practitioners, offering clear and practical information to be applied directly for the benefit of patients.Trade Review[Five stars] The author...is...a leader in the field...layout makes finding the relevant information...a snap...easy to carry in a lab coat...a high quality, useful book...keep [this book] close in clinical practice.--Doody's ReviewTable of ContentsAuriculotherapy in Medicine The Two Types of Ear Points Anatomy of the Ear Innervation of the Ear Representation of the Organs on the Ear Representation of the Vertebral Column Ear Locations Other Locations Methods of Point Detection Point Treatment Methods Indications for Auriculotherapy Anatomy of the Posterior Ear Mesodermic Locations on the Posterior Surface of the Ear Endodermic Locations on the Posterior Surface of the Ear Ectodermic Locations on the Posterior Surface of the Ear Important Points on the Posterior Surface Geometric Relationships Treatment of Aligned Points Prioritizing the Points Paul Nogier's Phase Theory A Contemporary Perspective on the Phases and Their Clinical Use Today The Auricular-Cardiac Reflex (ACR), Also Known as Vascular Autonomic Signal (VAS) How to Experience the Vascular Autonomic Signal Cutaneous Photoperception Cutaneous Photoperception and Ear Points The Nogier Frequencies How to Select Equipment for Studying the Nogier Frequencies and Treating Ear Points The Study of Ear Points by their Frequencies The Electromagnetic Signature of a Lesion The Treatment of Peripheral Neuropathies The Treatment of Fibromyalgia The Treatment of Depressive Disorder

I could hugely relate to Harry's mindset, the frustrations he went through and the emotions that he felt. Feeling trapped and lonely can lead to someone who stammers becoming extremely isolated but this book will help people who stammer realise that they are not alone and that there are techniques out there to give them hope, help reduce the fear and gain control of the stammer. This informative read will also help increase an understanding and awareness of stammering. -- Matt Wilton, Regional Director UK South, The McGuire ProgrammeThis enlightening book will tug on the heart strings...

An excellent book to encourage open discussions about stammering - at home or at school. -- Youth in MindSue Cottrell provides all of us, be we teachers, parents, friends or other professionals, with a sensitive and insightful introductory read. -- Red Reading Hub by Jill BennettThe book is very comprehensive in its coverage of stammering, with information bases on research presented easily and simply for children to understand and then to use in situations that they might meet themselves, whether they stammer or not. Some serious messages about stammering are conveyed through Harrys comments that would interest a young reader - for example that stammering can come and go, that episodes may be triggered by stress of some kind, that children do not usually stammer when reading in unison with other people and that stammering "can make you feel lonely"... I really enjoyed reading this book, it was insightful and actually quite moving for me to read as I stammered when I was a child I could connect with Harry's feelings at that age. I could appreciate from my own experience just how important it was for hi m to get the support he enjoyed from his family, teachers and friends. I would highly recommend this book for young readers whether they stammer or not, for parents and professionals who could use it to encourage open communication with a child who stammers and, as it is part of a series that explains various conditions, it is a very useful resource for lessons in personal and social education. -- British Stammering Association"Can I tell you about Stammering?" is a very insightful look into stammering from a child's prospective. It is very informative and accurately reflects the feelings of a someone who stammers. It is very important that people who don't stammer understand how difficult life can be for those who do. Yet, even though stammering is an often debilitating condition, this book tells other stammerers not to give up, that there is hope out there and with hard work and belief the battle against stammering can be won. Besides, even with a stammer, we all have many, many qualities of which we should be very proud. It just really helps if other people understand and this book will definitely help with that. -- Kevin Phelps, former stammerer, Headteacher, Tavernspite County Primary School, WalesWhat a lovely read! "Can I tell you about Stammering?" is a wonderfully thoughtful book with an accurate account of what stammering feels like for many children. It would be so useful to children of all ages, especially to those who do not know anyone else who stammers. I have met numerous children, from all kinds of backgrounds, who feel isolated by their stammers. Harry just might help them to see that others feel as they do and that they are not just a child who stammers. -- Alison Holloway, Speech and Language Therapist specialising in disorders of fluencyThis honest, matter-of-fact and informative book, shared from an individual child's perspective, beautifully captures daily experiences of stammering and educates parents, professionals, children and others about the disorder.

The topics are divided into short chapters that can be discussed separately. There are also four pages of recommended reading, websites and addresses of various organisations... the book identifies how adults and peers can help in this process... In learning to overcome a stammer, the problem of transfer of any therapy techniques is highlighted... This book will be useful to professionals and parents and could facilitate discussions about stammering and how to support children. Ideally, therapists work with parents and schools, and this book could provide an excellent link between them. Where therapy is not available, it could be of great support to professionals and the stammering child. -- Rosemarie Hayhow, fellow, Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists * Children & Young People Now *This book will offer you an insight into the world of a child who stammers and share some practical ways to help.

Plural Publishing Inc Psychoacoustics: Auditory Perception of Listeners
Book SynopsisPsychoacoustics: Perception of Normal and Impaired Hearing with Audiology Applications, Second Edition provides an overview of the field of psychoacoustics, with a primary focus on auditory perception. The book retains its focus on applications of psychoacoustics to clinical audiology, and its modular organization, with each chapter including relevant information around a specific topic. Within each chapter, acoustics, physiology, and perception by adult listeners with normal hearing and those with hearing loss, as they relate to that topic, are presented. The influence of hearing loss on these general auditory abilities is discussed in every chapter. Components of the book also include the role of psychoacoustics in audiological assessment and treatment. The text is ideal for audiology students who intend on having a clinical career and need an understanding of both normal and impaired auditory perception. It is intended to give students sufficient information to understand how the ear achieves auditory perception, what the capabilities of the ear are, and how hearing loss influences that perception. It also provides students with a foundation for further study in the area and to apply psychoacoustic principles to diagnostic audiology and audiological rehabilitation. New to the Second Edition 70 new figures to clarify some points and facilitate student’s understanding of the material New chapter that exclusively focuses on the perception by individuals wearing hearing aids and cochlear implants New section on the perceptual consequences of sensorineural hearing loss on everyday listening added to each chapter Revamped chapter on Psychoacoustics and Advanced Clinical Auditory Assessment now exclusively addresses elements within diagnostic audiology that are based on psychoacoustics, with added content on tinnitus assessment, automated (Békésy) audiometry, retrocochlear and pseudohypacusis evaluation, and the identification of dead regions Enhanced focus on inclusivity such as alternative versions of some demonstrations designed to be more accessible to individuals with hearing loss and a new section on the contributions of women and BIPOC scientists to the field of psychoacoustics Additional demonstrations, general exercises, and laboratory exercises in the text and on website Key Features Learning objectives and summaries begin and end each chapter to convey the goals of the text and review student comprehension Each chapter contains exercises designed to develop critical thinking about psychoacoustics Chapters include the following: introduction, relevant acoustics, important physiological studies, perception by normal-hearing listeners, and perception by listeners who have sensorineural hearing loss Emphasis on applied learning for more effective and efficient learning of the material PluralPlus Online Ancillaries For instructors: PowerPoint slides and answers to lab exercises For students: Lab exercises and demonstrations so that students may develop their understanding of psychoacoustic topics

University of Minnesota Press Sensory Futures: Deafness and Cochlear Implant
Book SynopsisRevealing inequalities and sensory hierarchies embedded in the latest medical technologies and global biotechnical marketsWhat happens when cochlear implants, heralded as the first successful bionic technologies, make their way around the globe and are provided by both states and growing private markets? As Sensory Futures follows these implants from development to domestication and their unequal distribution in India, Michele Ilana Friedner explores biotechnical intervention in the realm of disability and its implications for state politics in the Global South. A signing and speaking deaf bilateral cochlear implant user, Friedner weaves personal reflections into this fine-grained ethnography of everyday negotiations, activist aspirations, and the space of the family. She places sensory anthropology in conversation with disability studies to analyze how normative sensoria are cultivated and the pursuit of listening and speaking capability is enacted. She argues that the conditions of potentiality that have emerged through cochlear implantation have, in fact, resulted in ever narrower understandings of future life possibilities. Rejecting sensory hierarchies that privilege audition, Friedner calls for multisensory, multimodal, and multipersonal ways of relating to the world. Sensory Futures explores deaf people’s desires to create habitable worlds and grapple with what their futures might look like, in India and beyond, amid a surge in both biotechnical interventions and disability rights activism. With implications for a broad range of disability experiences, this sensitive, in-depth research focuses on the specific experiences of deaf people, both children and adults, and the structural, political, and social possibilities offered by both biotechnological and social “cures.”Trade Review"Michele Friedner’s book is a gem—I can’t think of anything else like it. Scaling from the pronunciation of 's' by a deaf American child who will someday become an ethnographer to Indian state partnerships with biotech corporations, we encounter many ways to be hearing and deaf. And we see this communicative abundance whittled away by repressive transnational infrastructures as well as local rules, tests, and disability bureaucracies. To my mind, Sensory Futures is the union of medical anthropology, STS, and disability studies at its finest."—Mara Mills, cofounder and codirector, NYU Center for Disability Studies"Sensory Futures compels us to question what it means to live with disability as an ongoing process of becoming.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Hearing Impaired Infants: Support in the First
Book SynopsisThe tremendous amount of work that goes into the diagnosis and subsequent management of a young child with a permanent sensori-neural hearing loss involves both professionals from health and education services and parents. Though it is now widely accepted by professionals that parents should be regarded as full members of the team supporting the hearing-impaired child, many still do not have a clear idea of what this means in practice. The purpose of this book is to share information about this work among all those involved. Written by professionals who have long experience of working in real co-operation with parents and who allow the voice of parents to come through clearly, the book has two main aims. First, to convey in a clear and readable way what professionals do, the language they use, what influences their decision-making and some of the ramifications of hearing impairment; and, secondly, to convey to professionals what it is like to discover that your child has a hearing impairment and to show what professionals can learn from parents about the experience of living twenty-four hours a day with a child who does not hear well.Table of ContentsAudiological Indentification and Assessment.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Noise and Hearing
Book SynopsisNoise 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.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements. Preface. Part I References. Part II Some Acts, Regulations and Standards Relevant to Hearing and to Noise. Part III Glossary of Symbols, Abbreviations and Terms.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Ballantyne's Deafness
Book SynopsisDevelopments in the field of hearing health care have been significant over the last five years. This complete revision of Deafness reflects these changes and is not only an updating of the previous information but also adds new areas such as social aspects of deafness and mental health and deafness. The book maintains its original aim to be targeted at a wide range of readers who have a need for information on deafness. It will provide easily digested information for a wide range of professionals who have no experience in the field as well as for lay people such as parents of deaf children and deaf people themselves. As it covers a very wide range of topics in one volume it will also serve as an initial reference work for professionals already working with deaf and hard of hearing people. The 27 chapters are written by experts currently practising in their respective subjects. The chapters describe the nature and number of people with hearing loss, the anatomy and physiology of the ear, causes of deafness and their treatment, the measurement of hearing and screening for hearing loss, hearing loss in children and its diagnosis treatment and management, the effects of ageing and noise on hearing, psychological and psychiatric aspects of deafness, hearing aids and assistive devices, cochlear and other implanted devices.Table of ContentsPreface.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Hearing Differently: The Impact of Hearing
Book SynopsisHearing loss now strikes one in seven people but how to study the impact of hearing loss on relationships has continually baffled researchers. The authors' personal experience with profound hearing loss and her roles as wife, mother, social worker and counsellor, suggest that the complexities involved might be fruitfully explored by using an intensive and repetitive interviewing technique. This book explores and analyses 150 in-depth interviews with hearing impaired people, including eleven couples in committed relationships where one partner is hearing and the other is hearing impaired. Detailed information was obtained about the way each couple managed conflict, decision making, household chores, communication, and perceived the hearing impairment within their relationship. Five major strands emerge: intimate family relationships, social support networks, communication strategies, the nature of care and recommendations for social policy. By drawing from the fields of family therapy, marital therapy, counselling, family sociology, social policy, psychology, social psychology and linguistics as well as disability and deafness, a new broader and more positive picture emerges. This ground-breaking book is aimed at professionals who would like to work more effectively with deaf and hearing impaired people. Although not a 'How to Cope' book, it will also interest hearing impaired people themselves because of the enormous number of insights offered.Table of ContentsPart I: Introduction. The nature of the study. Part II: Ways of looking at hearing loss and relationships. Hearing loss. Relationships. Part III: Hearing loss and families. Hearing loss and initiating serious relationships. Hearing loss and established couples: attachment/caregiving. Hearing loss and established couples: mutuality. Hearing loss and children.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Definitions, Protocols and Guidelines in Genetic
Book SynopsisThis book brings together many of the main conclusions of the European Concerted Action Programme on Genetic Hearing Impairment (HEAR). It is spilt into four sections, covering definitions, protocols, genotype/phenotype relationships and important websites.The section on definitions enables all those approaching the problems of Genetic Hearing Impairment from different backgrounds to communicate in the same language and understand what each is doing more clearly. The definitions are of Audiological, Vestibulogical, Epidemiological and Genetic terms, together with specific terms associated with particular craniofacial abnormalities. The second section comprises protocols for the minimal set investigation of patients and their family members with genetic hearing impairment. Relatively little work has been done in the past on the balance of disorders which may be associated with Genetic Hearing Impairment and a protocol aiming to elucidate some of these factors in a relevant way has been defined. The final chapter in this section deals with how audiologists should relate to genetic laboratories in an attempt to reduce the confusion which has risen in this field in the past. The third section is concerned with the relationship between genotypes and phenotypes in non-syndromal hearing impairment in the conditions in which the genes have so far been localised and in many cases identified. The final section deals with the important websites within this field. The most important and the most visited is the Hereditary Hearing Loss website based on Antwerp and managed by Guy Van Camp and Richard Smith.Table of ContentsIntroduction - putting together the pieces of the auditory puzzle Section 1 - Terminology and Definitions. Audiological terms. Vestibular definitions. Epidemiological terms. Genetic terms. Section 2 - Protocols. Audiometric investigation of probands. Audiometric investigation of first degree relatives.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Cochlear Implants: Objective Measures
Book SynopsisThe age at which children are receiving cochlear implants has dropped dramatically; some children now undergo surgery when less than 12 months old. Considerable feedback is required from the patient in order to set the device optimally. This can be difficult in very young children, who may be unable to provide any behavioral information. It is therefore vital that objective measures are available in order to evaluate the device and auditory system function, set the programming parameters, and even assess performance.This book covers cochlear implant objective measures used before, during and after surgery. It provides a handbook for clinicians detailing the many techniques currently used, including telemetry, averaged electrode voltages, and electrically-evoked stapedial reflexes, auditory brainstem responses, compound action potentials, middle, late and event-related potentials. The internationally respected chapter authors from Europe and the USA provide coverage of the objective measures used in several commercially available cochlear implant devices.This book is required reading for clinicians in cochlear implant centers, researchers and those in the commercial implant field worldwide.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Paediatric Cochlear Implantation: Evaluating
Book SynopsisThis book reviews published research concerning outcomes for deaf children with cochlear implants. The publications selected for review meet certain criteria - they were all published in English, they were published since 1994, and the number of children included in each study was at least 12. A thorough literature search was carried out yielding about 200 articles meeting these criteria. Paediatric Cochlear Implants considers a range of outcomes including use of audition by children, the development of language and quality of life. Advances in cochlear implantation that affect outcomes are also discussed. The book offers critical summaries of relevant papers and an account of the conclusions of the research to date, highlights topics that have received less attention and suggests a framework for considering outcomes. It evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of current research with suggestion for possible future developments. This book will be of interest to all professionals and researchers concerned with deaf children, to parents of deaf children and to purchasers of healthcare services.Table of ContentsAcknowledgement.

John Wiley & Sons Inc Impact of Genetic Hearing Impairment
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the impact of genetic deafness/hearing impairment on people' s lives and those around them. It includes the perspectives of those who are deaf or hard of hearing as well as those working in the field. Professional topics include genetic counselling, social science, psychology, social work and - within medicine - audiological and ENT medical and audiological paediatrics. These practitioners are both hearing and hearing impaired. The impact of deafness on children, those of working age and elderly people is discussed highlighting the specific effect of genetic factors. In particular there are chapters on deafblindness and otosclerosis and NF2 (a potentially lethal condition). The Who definitions and ICF are used as a framework for considering the effect on people' s lives of impairment and their participation in society. This provides a bridge between the medical and social models of disability. Contributors write from both their professional and personal experience in order to try and address some of the issues raised by the real impact of genetic deafness on everyday life and how these can best be tackled by those working in the field.Trade Review"...this thought-provoking book provides a comprehensive review of the literature..."
