Owing to the neglect of a great many of these children at home, the difficulties in the way of their education are much increased. Although the number of pupils who will be found to hear their own voice fairly well is comparatively small, yet it would be well to differentiate between these and the pupils who do not, for the former possess capabilities for learning which the latter do not enjoy; the one may acquire articulate speech, while the other may be advantageously taught the sign language only. These children, in the larger cities, could in many instances be more economically taught if kept under home influences and educated in a special department of the public schools. In the instruction of the very deaf and of those who hear no external sounds but yet hear their own voices, some assistance may be obtained by the employment of conversation tubes among the former and of the month trumpet and otacoustic fan among the latter. The mouth trumpet, which consists of a tube for speaking into the mouth, gives the pupil in some instances a more correct idea of the natural tone of the voice than any other aid to hearing. Dental sound transmission by means of a fan can also be made serviceable iu certain cases, the speaker being obliged, however, in availing himself of its use, to place the pupil within one or two feet of his mouth while thus teaching. The use of these appliances, moreover, will aid the examiner in determining the pupil's hearing power for his (the pupil's) own voice. It is hoped by the writer that what has been said above concerning the education of deaf-mutes may not be construed to reflect upon the usefulness of institutions that are more particularly asylums for the...

Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
