In a reassuring and straightforward style, Burkey explains the typical causes of hearing loss, from genetic factors to years of exposure to loud noises, and demystifies the sometimes confusing results of a hearing test. Fortunately, new technologies and advances in medicine have made it easier to detect signs of initial hearing loss and to prevent it from becoming a serious problem. For those who have already sustained some damage, the author suggests ways to manage daily activities by using a range of techniques, equipment, and medical procedures. His suggestions include minor changes, such as using a vibrating alarm clock rather than one that is sound-based. More dramatic but often highly effective options, including reconstructive surgery, cochlear implants, and bone-anchored hearing aids, are also described. In his previous award-winning book, Overcoming Hearing Aid Fears: The Road to Better Hearing, Burkey addressed common fears, concerns, and misconceptions that people have about choosing and using hearing aids. In this second indispensable volume, he offers a comprehensive guide on how to cope with and prevent hearing impairment. For a generation that refuses to slow down or quietly accept limitations, this book is essential reading.Baby boom generationHealth aspectsDeafnessOlder peopleHealth aspectsBaby boom generationHealth aspects.Deafness.Older peopleHealth aspects.617.8/00846Burkey John M.1959-1536201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777798503321Baby boomers and hearing loss3821340UNINA00998nam0 22002771i 450 UON0007077320231205102350.4920020107d1978 |0itac50 baswaKE|||| |||||Asali ChunguMohamed Said AhmedNairobiShungwaya Publishers1978217 p.19 cm001UON000661222001 Riwaya zetu za Kiswahili2Romanzi SwahiliUONC019641FIKENairobiUONL000730896.3923NARRATIVA SWAHILI21SAIDAhmed MohamedUONV045291658175Shungwaya PublishersUONV257259650ITSOL20250516RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00070773SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI LETT S a 040 SI AA 13957 5 040 Asali Chungu1160137UNIOR
