Within the well-documented understanding of occupational noise-induced hearing loss (ONIHL) being a complex occupational health condition requiring the adoption of the complex interventions approach to management, challenges confronting hearing conservation programs (HCPs) within the African context need clear characterization and insightful deliberation. Guided by the systems theory, to be realistic about the implementation, monitoring, as well as evaluation of outcomes of HCPs within the African mining context, this book is a call for a paradigm shift in the assessment and management of ONIHL and HCPs in African mines . This book, Occupational Noise Induced Hearing Loss: An African Perspective, Teams researchers involved in the management of ONIHL and implementation of HCPs with evidence that allows for contextually relevant best practices in mine settings, particularly those located in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). This best practice is multidisciplinary in nature and engages all stakeholders in all relevant sectors, with the goal of adopting a preventive audiology approach to ONIHL rather than the compensation-oriented approach that is currently prevailing. This book is a research-driven contribution to the occupational health and safety (OHS) space, with ONIHL as a focus case study, and it provides contemporary, contextually relevant, and responsive evidence related to ONIHL and HCPs in LMICs with a very specific focus. in the South African context. This book expansively addresses all aspects of ONIHL and HCPs in one volume, with careful considerations of complexities and challenges to HCPs implementation, applicable specifically to LMICs, although useful globally. The book offers potential solutions and recommendations for all challenges identified, having carefully and deliberately engaged with local evidence, local context, and local policies and regulations to ensure an Afrocentric contribution to the world of evidence.

"La surdité au Moyen Âge est marquée par l'absence d'une étude d'ampleur, ce qui facilite la diffusion de stéréotypes dépeignant des sourds stigmatisés et des sociétés intolérantes. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de répondre à cette carence, de déconstruire les visions fantasmées et de nourrir les réflexions sur un sujet encore méconnu. Quels sont les causes et les remèdes attribués à la surdité ? Comment les sourds sont-ils perçus et quels comportements sont entretenus à leur égard ? De quels droits bénéficient-ils et à quels interdits doivent-ils faire face ? Par l'étude des discours médicaux, religieux et juridiques, l'ouvrage explore les représentations et les réalités des sourds afin d'évaluer leur intégration dans les sociétés occidentales de la fin du Moyen Âge."

Chez les personnes atteintes de surdité sévère ou profonde bilatérale les prothèses cochléaires permettent dans la grande majorité des cas de restaurer une perception auditive suffisante pour recouvrer la compréhension du langage oral. Cependant une rééducation de la perception auditive et de la compréhension orale est impérative car il ne suffit pas d'entendre pour comprendre. Les auteurs proposent 650 exercices spécifiquement adaptés à la rééducation audiophonatoire des adultes et adolescents présentant une déficience auditive.La première partie de l'ouvrage comprend sous forme de fiches de nombreux exercices pour entrainer l'analyse auditive analytique. Ces exercices portent sur la perception la différenciation et l'identification des voyelles des consonnes et des semi-consonnes.Chaque fiche comporte un exercice de lecture labiale suivi d'un entraînement à la perception auditive portant sur des mots ou des phrases et stimulant la boucle audiophonatoire.La deuxième partie comprend 28 fiches pour stimuler l'analyse auditive globale avec des exercices portant sur l'analyse phonologique sémantique syntaxique et la compréhension de textes. Pour cette 3e édition les auteurs ont rédigé 25 nouvelles fiches portant sur des activités d'entraînement auditif au téléphone.Ce manuel est un support indispensable pour l'orthophoniste qui y puisera les exercices adaptés à chaque étape de la rééducation spécifiquement pour les personnes adultes porteuses d'un implant cochléaire.

Acoustic atmospheres can be fleeting, elusive, or short-lived. Sometimes they are constant, but more often they change from one moment to the next, forming distinct impressions each time we visit certain places. Stable or dynamic, acoustic atmospheres have a powerful effect on our spatial experience, sometimes even more so than architecture itself. This book explores the acoustic atmospheres of diverse architectural environments, in terms of scale, function, location, or historic period - providing an overview of how acoustic atmospheres are created, perceived, experienced, and visualized. Contributors explore how sound and its atmospheres transform architecture and space. Their essays demonstrate that sound is a tangible element in the design and staging of atmospheres and that it should become a central part of the spatial explorations of architects, designers, and urban planners.0'The Sound of Architecture' will be of interest to architectural historians, theorists, students, and practicing architects, who will discover how acoustic atmospheres can be created without complex and specialized engineering. It will also be of value to scholars working in the field of history of emotions, as it offers evocative descriptions of acoustic atmospheres from diverse cultures and time periods.
