"Hearing Loss: Causes, Prevention, and Treatment covers hearing loss, causes and prevention, treatments, and future directions in the field, also looking at the cognitive problems that can develop. To avoid the "silent epidemic" of hearing loss, it is necessary to promote early screening, use hearing protection, and change public attitudes toward noise. Successful treatments of hearing loss deal with restoring hearing sensitivity via hearing aids, including cochlear, brainstem, or midbrain implants. Both the technical aspects and effects on the quality of life of these devices are discussed. The integration of all aspects of hearing, hearing loss, prevention, and treatment make this a perfect one-volume course in audiology at the graduate student level. However, it is also a great reference for established audiologists, ear surgeons, neurologists, and pediatric and geriatric professionals"--Publisher's description.

Dictionnaire biographique et généalogique consacré à l'histoire des sourds. A la croisée entre l'histoire de la médecine, de l'éducation, des familles et de l'histoire générale, celle-ci n'est devenue que récemment un champ de recherches universitaires. Il existe bien sûr de nombreux ouvrages sur l'histoire éducative des sourds, nés des débats des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles entre oralisme et gestualisme. Mais les biographies et les récits familiaux apparaissent depuis une vingtaine d'années seulement - timidement d'ailleurs. Toutes les personnalités présentées ici, plus ou moins connues, ont en commun d'avoir eu un impact sur la vie sociale et l'émancipation des sourds. L'ouvrage montre les relations complexes qu'elles ont pu entretenir avec leurs pairs et le poids décisif qu'elles ont pu jouer pour la communauté. Ces hommes et ces femmes sont rassemblés et présentés selon un découpage temporel construit autour des points de basculements, particulièrement autour du rapport à la langue des signes. Les auteurs réintroduisent d'ailleurs ici le terme de noétomalalien, qu'Henri Gaillard avait créé en 1889 pour remplacer les anciens termes de gestualisme ou de langage mimique. Les biographies développées constituent ainsi des repères historiques permettant de mieux comprendre l'histoire sourde, mais aussi de continuer à l'explorer, grâce aux archives et ouvrages mentionnés. La couverture montre le dessin du mot sourd en langue des signes et la photo d'un congrès des sourds à Liège en 1905 : le groupe de gauche forme avec ses doigts le mot "humanité", celui de droite le mot "égalité".

Dr Sally Lechlitner Lusk explains her study on using interventions to encourage the use of hearing protection. Noise-induced hearing loss is a common work-related injury in the United States, but hearing protection devices can reduce it. Lechlitner Lusk discusses her research methods, the challenges that she faced, and the results of her research.

Early experience plays a crucial role in determining the trajectory of cognitive development. For example, early sensory deprivation is known to induce neural reorganization by way of adaptation to the altered sensory experience. Neville and Bavelier’s “compensatory theory’’ hypothesizes that loss of one sense may bring about a sensory enhancement in the remaining modalities. Sensory deprivation will, however, also impact the age of emergence, or the speed of acquisition of cognitive abilities that depend upon sensory inputs. Understanding how a child’s early environment shapes their cognition is not only of theoretical interest. It is essential for the development of early intervention programs that address not just the early deprivation itself, but also the cognitive sequelae of such deprivation. The articles in this e-book all address different aspects of deprivation - sensory, linguistic, and social - and explore the impacts of such deprivation on a wide range of cognitive outcomes. In reading these contributions, it is important to note that sensory, linguistic, and social deprivation are not independent factors in human experience. For example, a child born deaf into a hearing family is likely to experience delays in exposure to natural language, with subsequent limits on their linguistic competence having an effect on social interactions and inclusion: a child raised in environments where social interaction is highly limited is also likely to experience reductions in the quantity and quality of linguistic inputs. Future work will need to carefully examine the complex interactions between the sensory, linguistic and social environments of children raised in atypical or impoverished environments.
