Techniques of Hearing: History, Theory and Practices
by Michael Schillmeier, Robert Stock, and Beate OchsnerHearing, 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.
The Technology of Orgasm: "Hysteria," the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Technology #24)
by Rachel P. MainesWinner of the Herbert Feis Prize from the American Historical Association Winner of the AFGAGMAS Biennial Book AwardWinner of the Science Award from the American Foundation for Gender and Genital Medicine From the time of Hippocrates until the 1920s, massaging female patients to orgasm was a staple of medical practice among Western physicians in the treatment of "hysteria," an ailment once considered both common and chronic in women. Doctors loathed this time-consuming procedure and for centuries relied on midwives. Later, they substituted the efficiency of mechanical devices, including the electric vibrator, invented in the 1880s. In The Technology of Orgasm, Rachel Maines offers readers a stimulating, surprising, and often humorous account of hysteria and its treatment throughout the ages, focusing on the development, use, and fall into disrepute of the vibrator as a legitimate medical device.
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
