Book excerpt: The loss of hearing - be it gradual or acute, mild or severe, present since birth or acquired in older age - can have significant effects on one's communication abilities, quality of life, social participation, and health. Despite this, many people with hearing loss do not seek or receive hearing health care. The reasons are numerous, complex, and often interconnected. For some, hearing health care is not affordable. For others, the appropriate services are difficult to access, or individuals do not know how or where to access them. Others may not want to deal with the stigma that they and society may associate with needing hearing health care and obtaining that care. Still others do not recognize they need hearing health care, as hearing loss is an invisible health condition that often worsens gradually over time. In the United States, an estimated 30 million individuals (12.7 percent of Americans ages 12 years or older) have hearing loss. Globally, hearing loss has been identified as the fifth leading cause of years lived with disability. Successful hearing health care enables individuals with hearing loss to have the freedom to communicate in their environments in ways that are culturally appropriate and that preserve their dignity and function. Hearing Health Care for Adults focuses on improving the accessibility and affordability of hearing health care for adults of all ages. This study examines the hearing health care system, with a focus on non-surgical technologies and services, and offers recommendations for improving access to, the affordability of, and the quality of hearing health care for adults of all ages.

Book excerpt: Detailed protocols on tinnitus treatment and therapy Most clinicians have little experience with tinnitus treatments, and are unsure of how to help a patient suffering from the condition. Filling a significant gap in literature, this book offers a variety of in-depth protocols to treat tinnitus. Beginning with a review of several neurophysiological and psychological models of tinnitus, the book goes on to cover evaluation tools; counseling options and methods; treatment with hearing aids, wearable and non-wearable noise generators, and music; tinnitus-related insomnia; quality-of-life issues; and much more. Highly experienced clinicians give you the practical strategies to apply such therapeutic modalities as cognitive-behavioral therapy, individual and group sessions, sound therapy, habituation therapy, and narrative therapy. You will also find sample handouts to allow for effective communication with patients. With key clinical information for implementing all current therapies, this text is an essential professional tool for audiologists, psychologists, and other practitioners involved in managing otologic disorders. Richard Tyler, PhD, is a professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery and in the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology at the University of Iowa. Tyler and Sergei Kochkin, PhD recently sat down to talk about the results of a survey they conducted about tinnitus treatment and the effectiveness of hearing aids, which was published in the December 2008 edition of The Hearing Review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Achieving a Return On Investment is not happenstance. It is a direct result of utilizing sound business practices. Dr. DuBrino has contributed 4 articles to Advance for Audiologists and Advance for Nurse Practitioners over the past 5 years that have presented the research and day to day experiences of consulting with various audiologists throughout the industry. Erecting a sign outside the office; and publishing one's name and picture in the newspaper has not guaranteed a successful marketing campaign that resulted in a bottom line that paid the bills and afforded the business owner a good living. The major obstacle in the hearing industry in assisting individuals to overcome their communication difficulties is to get them to pick up the phone and call for an appointment. Education begins with having an audience that is motivated to seek the information one has to offer. It must also address the concerns people have; and offer a solution in a way that gives them the opportunity to decide how well they need to hear and understand others within an investment that is both comfortable and affordable to their needs. Therefore, it must be notable, succinct and attractive to the target audience you seek so that they will call your practice. Signage, brochures, flyers, business cards, direct mail, Newspaper ads, Television commercials, radio spots, all have to have a consistent and encouraging message. Sound business practices are concomitant with sound professional practices in Audiology and Hearing Instument Sciences. This component of Business Acumen has admittedly been lacking in curriculums within the schools of Audiology. He believes that the information in this book would complete the pattern for success for those professionals who would venture into private practice.
