Techniques of Hearing: History, Theory and Practices

by Michael Schillmeier, Robert Stock, and Beate Ochsner

Hearing, health and technologies are entangled in multi-faceted ways. The edited volume addresses this complex relationship by arguing that modern hearing was and is increasingly linked to and mediated by technological innovations. By providing a set of original interdisciplinary investigations that sheds new light on the history, theory and practices of hearing techniques, it is able to explore the heterogeneous entanglements of sound, hearing practices, technologies and health issues. As the first book to bring together historians, scholars from media studies, social sciences, cultural studies, acoustics and neuroscientists, the volume discusses modern technologies and their decisive impact on how ‘normal’ hearing, enhanced and smart hearing as well as hearing impairment have been configured. It brings both new insights into the histories of hearing technologies as well as allowing us to better understand how enabling hearing technologies have currently been unfolding an increasingly hybrid ecology engaging smart hearing devices and offering stress-free hearing and acoustic wellbeing in novel auditory environments. The volume will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sound studies, sociology of health and illness, medical history, health and society as well as those interested in the practices and techniques of self-monitored and smart hearing.

Técnicas de terapia del habla con tartamudez: Cómo recuperar la voz de la tartamudez

by Dave McAllen A. N. Okonoboh.

¿Es posible dejar de tartamudear en 10 días? ¿Cuál es el sueño más importante de tu vida? Como tartamudo, no quieres que yo ni nadie más simpaticemos cuando hablas. En nuestro libro TÉCNICAS DE TERAPIA DEL TRATAMIENTO DEL HABLA, lo tenemos en mente. Sabemos que cómo dejar de tartamudear es una cuestión que enfría a las comunidades tartamudeantes de todo el mundo. De hecho, nos damos cuenta de que en los grupos que tartamudean, a los enfermos se les dice que no se preocupen más por la recuperación, que tal esfuerzo es más devastador que el impedimento del habla en sí. Bueno, nuestra introducción a este libro de trabajo tiene historias muy inspiradoras para ayudar a disipar sus miedos. Ahora le daremos una idea general de las características de las TÉCNICAS DE TERAPIA DEL TRATAMIENTO DEL HABLA que hace que funcione tan rápido para la recuperación de la tartamudez. En primer lugar, este libro se basa en un estudio de años de verdaderos vencedores que tartamudean. Entonces, los contenidos no son teorías de laboratorio intelectual. Por eso funciona para personas reales. La clave central es la CONCIENCIA que corre como hilo conductor a través de los capítulos. En torno a esto, construimos otros elementos que son dignos de reconocimiento en sus roles positivos o negativos en nuestros discursos. Por ejemplo, el control de la respiración, la respiración desde el pecho o desde los pulmones, el arte de hablar, lidiar con obstáculos comunes, cómo usar sus esquemas de habla, etc. En la sección El arte de hablar, abordamos todos los problemas de patología del habla y el lenguaje, SLP, terapia cognitivo-conductual, alivio de la ansiedad, autocuración del tartamudeo, así como la pregunta de quién me ayudará a encontrar mi voz. La misma sección sigue replicando su efectividad en el desafío de la enseñanza del habla, terapia para niños, incluso para casos graves como aquellos que piensan que su situación está más allá d

Ten Fingers for God: The Complete Biography of Dr. Paul Brand

by Dorothy C. Wilson

Ten Fingers for God describes the extraordinary servanthood--the life of Dr. Paul Brand, a medical doctor, whose life and work have been a blessing to countless thousands of leprosy victims on five continents. Through surgeries (over 3,000 in India alone), the pioneering research he has conducted and inspired, and his empathy for the poor and forsaken. Dr. Brand has achieved fame in the medical world. Dr. Brand's professional life has centered on perhaps the most problematic aspect of creation, the existence of pain. His conviction that the function of pain in the human body is a disguised blessing to the human race. He felt that "God designed the human body so that it is able to survive because of pain. As a surgeon, teacher, and environmentalist. Dr. Brand 'has chosen the middle way of balancing the material and the mystical, the prophetic and the pragmatic. His spirit of self-sacrifice and humility can best be distilled by his sureness that "it is a pity that a man has only one life to spend, one pair of feet, two hands, ten fingers! Paul Brand is an adventure loving, highly spiritual surgeon who discovers his life's calling is to improve the hands and feet of people with leprosy worldwide. He developed techniques for returning functionality to disfigured, numb hands and feet and goes on to establish centers where patients receive protective shoes and learn skills to become employable. Paul both teaches others in many countries to help in his mission and learns from other doctors, scientists and rehabilitation specialists. In his travels and impassioned, informative speeches he raises awareness of this disease which is only contagious for a brief time and inspires people to pool their resources to improve care for a population ending their generations old fate of being shunned, ostracized and forced to beg for their survival.

Tender to the World: Jean Vanier, L'Arche, and the United Church of Canada

by Carolyn Whitney-Brown

"What is the secret that allows L'Arche to exist? I'll tell you: pleasure!" explains Jean Vanier, founder of the international federation of L'Arche communities where people with and without intellectual disabilities share their lives. Vanier's spiritual vision and playful sense of humour shaped L'Arche, but the organization was also informed by its surprising history with the United Church of Canada. In Tender to the World Carolyn Whitney-Brown explores the connections between the two organizations through diverse critical insights from Julia Kristeva, Doreen Massey, and Mikhail Bakhtin, as well as Vanier's controversial articulation of the gift of weakness. Tracing the five-decade relationship between L'Arche and the United Church alongside evolving disability theories, Whitney-Brown examines both the fundamental importance of stories and the agency of people with intellectual disabilities. Inversion - a transformative overturning of expectations in social interactions - can be upsetting or exciting, challenging or inspiring, she argues. This book offers a fresh look at how L'Arche and the United Church have worked to break down walls of difference, illuminating how each tenders something unexpected to the other and to the world. At a time when many are seeking new visions for society, the long and complex relationship between Canada's largest Protestant denomination and L'Arche offers both encouragement and a deeper way to approach questions of living in diverse communities.

The Tennis Partner: A Doctor's Story of Friendship and Loss

by Abraham Verghese

An unforgettable, illuminating story of how men live and how they survive, from Abraham Verghese, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Cutting for Stone and The Covenant of Water, an Oprah's Book Club Pick.“Heartbreaking. . . . Indelible and haunting, [The Tennis Partner] is an elegy to friendship found, and an ode to a good friend lost.”—The Boston GlobeWhen Abraham Verghese, a physician whose marriage is unraveling, relocates to El Paso, Texas, he hopes to make a fresh start as a staff member at the county hospital. There he meets David Smith, a medical student recovering from drug addiction, and the two men begin a tennis ritual that allows them to shed their inhibitions and find security in the sport they love and with each other. This friendship between doctor and intern grows increasingly rich and complex, more intimate than two men usually allow. Just when it seems nothing can go wrong, the dark beast from David’s past emerges once again—and almost everything Verghese has come to trust and believe in is threatened as David spirals out of control.

The Terrible We: Thinking with Trans Maladjustment (ASTERISK)

by Cameron Awkward-Rich

In The Terrible We Cameron Awkward-Rich thinks with the bad feelings and mad habits of thought that persist in both transphobic discourse and trans cultural production. Observing that trans studies was founded on a split from and disavowal of madness, illness, and disability, Awkward-Rich argues for and models a trans criticism that works against this disavowal. By tracing the coproduction of the categories of disabled and transgender in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century and analyzing transmasculine literature and theory by Eli Clare, Elliott DeLine, Dylan Scholinski, and others, Awkward-Rich suggests that thinking with maladjustment might provide new perspectives on the impasses arising from the conflicted relationships among trans, feminist, and queer. In so doing, he demonstrates that rather than only impeding or confining trans life, thought, and creativity, forms of maladjustment have also been and will continue to be central to their development.Duke University Press Scholars of Color First Book Award recipient

Terry Fox and Me

by Mary Beth Leatherdale

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope, this picture book biography tells the story of a friendship defined by strength and love.Before Terry Fox become a national hero and icon, he was just a regular kid. But even then, his characteristic strength, determination and loyalty were apparent and were the foundation for his friendship with Doug. The two first met at basketball tryouts in grammar school. Terry was the smallest - and worst - basketball player on the court. But that didn't stop him. With Doug's help, Terry practiced and practiced until he earned a spot on the team. As they grew up, the best friends supported each other, challenged each other, helped each other become better athletes and better people. Doug was by Terry's side every step of the way: when Terry received a diagnosis of cancer in his leg, when he was learning to walk - then run - with a prosthetic leg and while he was training for the race of his life, his Marathon of Hope. Written from Doug's perspective, this story shows that Terry Fox's legacy goes beyond the physical and individual accomplishments of a disabled athlete and honors the true value of friendship.
