Tinnitus & Hörsturz

3rd Place Winner of The Poetry Box Chapbook Prize, 2022The poems in Listening in the Dark center on the theme of growing up with an unidentified hearing loss that progressively became much worse. In her mid-20s, Suzy Harris learned the diagnosis and started wearing hearing aids. In her mid-60s, after losing most of her hearing in both ears, she received her first cochlear implant, and then a second one, which required learning to hear again.Early Praise:"I have seldom encountered a series of poems so closely linked and connected as a whole. This chapbook tenderly addresses the poet's lifelong hearing loss with a surprising precision of language, starting at the very beginning of life and reimagining that time of growing up with two languages,/ one that is silence. No doubt these tender poems will help many readers to feel less alone as they navigate their own worlds of memory, loss, and resilience."-James Crews, contest judge, poet, editor of How to Love the World "Suzy Harris propels us into her world-an exultant quest from 'Broken Listening' to the cacophony and wonder of sound."-Willa Schneberg, LCSW, recipient of the Oregon Book Award for Poetry "With lyric intensity, her poems convey Harris' experiences as she slowly undertakes the eerie process of learning a whole new universe of sound, translating the implants' ticks and taps and dings into what's recognizable. Risen from its own ashes, the poet's new sense of hearing leads her toward the exquisite harmony of soaring renewal." -Paulann Petersen, Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita

As you carefully study the successful methods of public speakers, as briefly set forth in this book, you will observe that there is nothing that can be substituted for personal sincerity. Unless you thoroughly believe in the message you wish to convey to others, you are not likely to impress them favorably. It was said of an eminent British orator, that when one heard him speak in public, one instinctively felt that there was something finer in the man than in anything he said. Therein lies the key to successful oratory. When the truth of your message is deeply engraved on your own mind; when your own heart has been touched as by a living flame; when your own character and personality testify to the innate sincerity and nobility of your life, then your speech will be truly eloquent, and men will respond to your fervent appeal.

The Lancet Journal has identified hearing loss as the #1 modifiable factor for the prevention of dementia. 'Modifiable' meaning there is something you can do about it. More than just a minor nuisance, research shows that untreated hearing loss is linked with an increased dementia risk of between 200 to 500 percent. Hearing and Brain Health explores the physical and mental impact associated with untreated hearing loss, and how to overcome the common barriers to addressing it - and why it's crucial that you do. "Andrew exudes a quiet confidence, warmth and expertise to both audiences and clients when he discusses the impact of untreated hearing loss on brain health; he is at the forefront of all the latest research on the area and the latest hearing device technology. As an independent, internationally regarded master of audiology, I trust his advice implicitly." ~Brian James"Luckily for me I heard a family friend singing Andrew's praises about his success in relation to hearing loss, so I contacted his clinic for an appointment. I can now say it was the best decision I could have made. My advice to anyone who has hearing loss is to contact an audiology professional. As for me, I was so lucky to have found Andrew Campbell. He and his team are definitely the professionals in this field, and it is with great confidence that I recommend him and his team." ~Judith Cush "We heard that Andrew was an independent audiologist and therefore free to prescribe whatever he thinks is suitable for each of his patients. The whole experience has been a revelation. Andrew quickly determined my hearing issues during that first appointment, and recommended very neat and discreet hearing aids. They were life-enhancing right from the start. I would recommend Andrew without hesitation as a caring, extremely knowledgeable professional who works with you to obtain the best results possible." ~Gary James

Have you ever wondered why when you were sure you communicated clearly your friend still didn't get what you were saying? The words we use have attached to them our emotions, our history, our own interpretation, our dreams, our desires, our fears, and so much more. Our words paint pictures in our mind and affect what we hear. Thus, our words don't have a standard meaning but rather a usage that is influenced by our mental pictures. Not until we see all of this in what the other person is saying, until we have practiced visual listening, has true communication happened. Hardy will show you how your mental pictures affect how you communicate and how you hear others. "Blind shares a new perspective and toolkit on how we should relate to others by improving the clarity of our communication while also building empathy to improve how well we see and hear others. Blind has different ways of framing information through a balance of practical exercises, personal and professional anecdotes, and biblical references, and communication and psychology research, which is helpful to thoroughly understand the concepts in an entertaining way. - Grace Bassett, PhD, Communication "Blind is absolutely brilliant! Hardy sought to deal with one of the most serious problems of communication breakdowns, between people, especially couples. He draws from numerous examples, including his own life, to expose how communication breaks down but he also offers very constructive suggestions to overcome this problem. Jeanette and I have found his insights most relevant and useful. - Cecil Peasley, Founder and President of Living Ministries International Exter Hardy III is married to his blessing, Lisa, and together they have eight children and seven grandchildren. He has served as Pastor at Pole Line Road Baptist Church in Davis, CA since March 1991. He loves cross-cultural ministry and the communication challenges that brings. God has blessed Exter with the opportunity to serve on six different continents. He has his M. Div. and D. Min. from Gateway Seminary and his M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Sacramento. He also authored "Does Ministry Have to Hurt so Much?" published by Xulon Press.

This book entitled "Cocoa, Chocolate, and Human Health" presents the most recent findings about cocoa and health in 14 peer-reviewed chapters including nine original contributions and five reviews from cocoa experts around the world. Bioavailability and metabolism of the main cocoa polyphenols, i.e., the flavanols like epicatechin, are presented including metabolites like valerolactones that are formed by the gut microbiome. Many studies, including intervention studies or epidemiological observations, do not focus on single compounds, but on cocoa as a whole. This proves the effectiveness of cocoa as a functional food. A positive influence of cocoa on hearing problems, exercise performance, and metabolic syndrome is discussed with mixed results; the results about exercise performance are contradictive. Evidence shows that cocoa flavanols may modulate some risk factors related to metabolic syndrome such as hypertension and disorders in glucose and lipid metabolism. However, several cardiometabolic parameters in type 2 diabetics were not affected by a flavanol-rich cocoa powder as simultaneous treatment with pharmaceuticals might have negated the effect of cocoa. The putative health-promoting components of cocoa are altered during processing like fermentation, drying, and roasting of cocoa beans. Chocolate, the most popular cocoa product, shows remarkable losses in polyphenols and vitamin E during 18 months of storage.

Beinahe jeder hat bereits einmal in seinem Leben vorübergehend Ohrgeräusche wahrgenommen, sei es nach dem Sport, in einer enormen Stresssituation, nach einem Discobesuch oder wenn jemand an einem heißen Sommertag nicht genug getrunken hat. In den meisten Fällen legen sich diese Geräusche nach ganz kurzer Zeit. Manchmal jedoch bleiben sie und werden für die Betroffenen zu einer nicht versiegenden Quelle der Pein. Was den Tinnitus besonders scheußlich macht, ist, dass sich Partner, Familienangehörige, Freunde und Arbeitskollegen nur schwer bis gar nicht vorstellen können, was den Betroffenen belastet. Stellen Sie sich ein Geräusch in Ihrem Kopf vor, das Sie nicht abstellen können. Das sich eventuell immer tiefer in Ihren Kopf hineinbohrt und Sie in Ihren täglichen Lebensabläufen enorm behindert. Sie haben Schwierigkeiten sich zu konzentrieren. Bei der Arbeit oder im Familienleben behindern Sie die Ohrgeräusche erheblich. Es fällt Ihnen schwer, zur inneren Ruhe zu finden. Es wächst die Angst, wohin die Ohrgeräusche führen. Da viele die Situation der Betroffenen nicht verstehen, führt dies häufig zu einer Isolation in Partnerschaft und Freundschaft. Der Borkener Marcus Schwers nimmt sich seit vielen Jahren dieser Menschen an und veröffentlicht seine Erfahrungen nun in seinem ersten Fachbuch. Die Idee zum Buch entstamme dem Wunsch, sein Wissen und seine Erfahrungen im Rahmen seiner Ausbildertätigkeit an die jüngere Generation der Hörgeräteakustiker weiterzugeben. Zwar sei die Versorgung der vom Tinnitus betroffenen Personen mit Hörgeräten und Rauschern gut, doch könnten diese Geräte allein den therapeutischen Erfolg nicht gewährleisten. Im Mittelpunkt der Behandlung müsse die Begleitung und Beratung des Betroffenen stehen. Dabei ist die Zielklarheit der Maßnahmen zu strukturieren. Auch ist es wichtig, dass die unterschiedlichen Stellen sich interdisziplinär absprechen um den Erfolg der Maßnahmen zu optimieren. Der Ratgeber verdeutlicht, dass eine erfolgreiche Behandlung stets einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz erfordert, bei dem auch Faktoren wie Stress oder Burn-out und die Mitwirkung durch Angehörige und Therapeuten zu berücksichtigen sind. Dies ist ganz entscheidend dafür, im Verlauf der Therapie den Teufelskreis aus Symptom und anhaltender Ursache zu durchbrechen und neue Lebensfreude zu gewinnen. Der Ratgeber bietet dem Leser zahlreiche Informationen zum Thema 'Tinnitus' und zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, wie Betroffene eine Therapie selbstständig unterstützen können.

Over 10 million adults in the United States have chronic problems with dizziness and imbalance - vestibular problems. This compares to 400,000 with multiple sclerosis or 1.5 million with autism for example, both chronic illnesses with much greater name recognition. Vestibular problems are difficult to diagnose and treat. While vestibular problems come with various medical names (Meniere's, Perilymph Fistula, Endolymphatic Hydrops, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), Mal de Debarquement (MdDS), and others) they present a common challenge for the affected person on how to deal with the dizziness and eventually find balance. Finding Balance addresses over a decade of illness, from the initial two years searching for a diagnosis, through the long years of treatment and finally to the period of rebuilding a life within the confines of what dizziness and vertigo will allow. Finding Balance provides a detailed description of symptoms, what can trigger them, the emotional reactions to symptoms, how to recognize their subtle differences, and how to track them in order to contribute to your own diagnosis. It also emphasizes the patient's responsibility for healing and eventually how to find the inner balance in life that will be necessary to equitably live with these symptoms over time. And it provides a sense of time, of patience. Special Features of Finding Balance Include: Call-out boxes presenting facts and tips for dealing with the disorder All of the medical information in the book has been reviewed by vestibular specialists for accuracy Bulleted lists at the end of chapter with advice to the reader on next steps "
