Extractions: Common myths about hearing disorders If I had a hearing loss, I certainly would know about it. Everyone mumbles when they talk to me. Hearing aids will restore my hearing to normal. Hearing aids totally eliminate distracting background noise ... It's too expensive to get a good hearing aid. If I had a hearing loss, I certainly would know about it. Not necessarily. Often a hearing loss develops slowly and subtly. Our own built-in defenses may make it difficult for us to determine whether we have a hearing loss or not. Hearing loss is usually gradual in onset. Many times we adjust and get used to it as it is happening to us. A simple hearing test would determine if a hearing loss exists. Everyone mumbles when they talk to me. Some people do mumble. But if you think ALL people mumble then it's time to accept it is your hearing and not everyone else's mumbling. Hearing aids will restore my hearing to normal.

Ears And Hearing: History Of Hearing Disorders ENT Net Virtual Museum Exhibits History of hearing disorders,History of hearing disorders In the first century BC Archigenes http://entnet.org/museum/exhibits/earsandhearing_page1.cfm
Extractions: In the first century BC Archigenes, an eminent physician of Rome, treated hearing disorders by sending loud, irritating noises to the ear through a tuba. This suggests that early physicians knew how to amplify sound using a funnel-like object. However, it wasnt until the 16th century that references to hearing aids were consistently made. Rather than using hearing aids to treat their patients, very early physicians used a variety of other remedies. In this early period of medicine, it was thought that mucus and any other fluid found in the ear, nose, or throat came from the brain. Subsequently, deafness was thought to be caused by the build-up of fluids from cerebral infections. To combat such infections, Galen (130-200 AD) recommended that patients lose weight and take laxatives. He also applied special liquids that were capable of dissolving thick and tenacious fluids. Alexander de Tralles (525-605) treated hearing loss with a variety of methods, including the juices of roaches, sea baths, and leeches. Later in the thirteenth century, a few physicians were known to use the fat of the green tree frog to cure hearing loss. Tricks of the Trade: Ears and Hearing

Extractions: INTRODUCTION We have divided this chapter into two major sections: the first on vestibular disorders, and the second on auditory disorders. Each section reviews the essential aspects of the history and the office examination. Because vestibular symptoms are often accompanied by auditory complaints, neurologists who choose to deal with dizzy patients should be familiar with both vestibular and auditory testing. Therefore, we include a brief review of pertinent tests for vestibular and auditory disorders. Finally, we introduce therapeutic strategies for patients with dizziness and hearing loss.
