It includes the perspectives of those who are deaf or hard of hearing as well as those working in the field. Professional topics include genetic counselling, social science, psychology, social work and - within medicine - audiological and ENT medical and audiological paediatrics. These practitioners are both hearing and hearing impaired.  \u003cp\u003eThe impact of deafness on children, those of working age and elderly people is discussed highlighting the specific effect of genetic factors. In particular there are chapters on deafblindness and otosclerosis and NF2 (a potentially lethal condition). The Who definitions and ICF are used as a framework for considering the effect on people' s lives of impairment and their participation in society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis provides a bridge between the medical and social models of disability. Contributors write from both their professional and personal experience in order to try and address some of the issues raised by the real impact of genetic deafness on everyday life and how these can best be tackled by those working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of contributors.  \u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 1\u003c\/b\u003e Future perfect: social aspects of genetics and deafness - Lesley Jones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 2\u003c\/b\u003eParents' attitudes towards genetic testing and the impact of deafness in the family - Anna Middleton.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 3\u003c\/b\u003e The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as a conceptural framework for the impact of genetic hearing impairment - Dafydd Stephens and Berth Danermark.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 4\u003c\/b\u003e A common methodology for reviewing the impact of hearing impairment - Berth Danermark, Sophia Kramer and Dafydd Stephens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 5\u003c\/b\u003e The impact of hearing impairment in children - Dafydd Stephens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 6\u003c\/b\u003e A review of the psychosocial effects of hearing impairment in the working-age population - Berth Danermark.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 7\u003c\/b\u003e The psychosocial impact of hearing loss among elderly people: a review - Sophia Kramer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 8\u003c\/b\u003e The impact of combined vision and hearing impairment and of deafblindness - Kerstin Moller.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 9\u003c\/b\u003e The effects of otosclerosis - Nele Lemkens.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 10\u003c\/b\u003e Psychosocial aspects of neurofibromatosis type 2 - Wanda Neary, Richard Ramsden, Gareth Evans and Michael Baser.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 11\u003c\/b\u003e Moving forward: a life of changes - Pathricia Lago-Avery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChapter 12\u003c\/b\u003e My genetic deafness - Jill Jones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52449420837144,"sku":"9781861564375","price":67.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781861564375.jpg?v=1785198864","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/impact-of-genetic-hearing-impairment-paperback-softback-9781861564375","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
