Shouting Won't Help: Why I--and 50 Million Other Americans--Can't Hear You

Katherine Bouton

4.9/5 (9300 ratings)

Description:Why more Americans are going deaf than ever before—and what we can do about it For twenty-two years, Katherine Bouton was a senior editor at The New York Times. At daily editorial meetings, she had a secret that grew harder to keep every day—she couldn’t hear what her colleagues were saying. She had gone profoundly deaf in her left ear; her right was getting worse. As she writes, she was “the kind of person who might have used an ear trumpet in the nineteenth century.” Audiologists agree that we’re experiencing a national epidemic of hearing impairment. At present, 50 million Americans suffer some degree of hearing loss—17 percent of the population. And hearing loss is not exclusively a product of growing old. The usual onset is between the ages of nineteen and forty-four, and in many cases the cause is unknown. Shouting Won’t Help is a deftly written, deeply felt look at a widespread and misunderstood phenomenon. In the vein of Jerome Groopman and Atul Gawande, and using her experience as a guide, Bouton examines the problem personally, psychologically, and physiologically. She speaks with doctors, audiologists, neurobiologists, and a variety of people afflicted with midlife hearing loss, braiding their stories with her own to illuminate the startling effects of the condition. The result is a surprisingly engaging account of what it’s like to live with an invisible disability—along with a robust prescription for our nation’s increasing problem with deafness.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
