Book Description
This up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides the best collection available anywhere of official Federal government information and documents on the subject of hearing disorders and deafness. This CD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all files on the disc fully searchable. For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor reference tools and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

This thoroughly researched collection presents vital information from many authoritative sources: National Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), and the National Institute on Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Contents include clinical and medical information, with information on signs, symptoms, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and more.

In addition, as a bonus we have included an encyclopedic collection of general medical and health documents - thousands of pages with extensive material from the CDC and NIH on hundreds of diseases and health topics from A to Z, along with government consumer healthcare tips, disease prevention programs, dietary guidelines, and travelers' health information. Since navigating the Internet to find additional non-governmental medical information can be confusing, we've also provided our exclusive "Guide to Leading Medical Websites" with updated links to 73 of the best sites for medical information! By using weblinks on the CD-ROM, you can quickly check for the latest clinical updates directly from the government.

Book Description

Related topics include communication aids, electric personal assistive mobility devices, medications for treating neurological diseases and conditions, understanding the needs of Alzheimer patient caregivers and more.

A travesty
This book and all others of this ilk espouse the philosophy that those who are deaf just have to learn to live with it. I say this is wrong. Science can put an end to this condition but these scientists and researchers choose not to do so. It is more profitable to keep bilking the deaf out of what little money they can scrape together from their menial jobs for hearing aids that don't really help and for visits to doctors who look in a person's ears and "sorrowfully" announce that nothing can be done to restore hearing. Money is wasted by organizations to pay for close captions that are garbled most of the time, especially on news programs. Taxes are wasted on schools for the deaf where the deaf are taught that they are losers and have no right to expect any of the good things in life that hearing people take for granted. Interpreters charge a fortune for their services. Books like this offer no comfort or peace of mind. They are just part of schemes to make more dishonest money. Reading a book like this is going to make hearing people stop making fun of the deaf? I don't think so. Easy for a hearing person to write a book like this and say, "just live with it." If the author is deaf, then he has had his head buried in the sand. Save your money, everyone. Don't waste your time and money on books like this. If you want fairy tales, read Mother Goose or Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. ... Read more
