- Article 1: TDI Corrects Misleading Press Release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here's a summary of a very important series of events that transpired over the past couple of weeks. This article, with links to documents as indicated in the article, is available at http://tinyurl.com/2xgklt - I urge everyone to become familiar with what happened, and please take a minute to send a note of thanks to Claude Stout, TDI's Executive Director. You can email him at execdir@tdi-online.org

~~~~~

Over the past several years I've sent many complaint emails to organizations that engage in behavior that is oppressive to people with hearing loss who prefer spoken language. (a group I call the oral hearing loss - OHL - community.)

The most common example of this behavior is to group 32 million OHL folks with a few hundred thousand Deaf folks and claim that they all use sign language (when less than 2% actually do!) I have NEVER had a positive response to those emails - UNTIL NOW!

TDI, NAD, and DHHCAN published a press release (link to press release) that contained several offensive statements, including this sentence: "VRS [Video Relay Service] is the first telecommunications relay service that enables individuals who are deaf and hard of hearing to communicate in their native language, American Sign Language (ASL)."

Several hearing loss advocates notified TDI that we found the press release misleading, offensive, and oppressive (link to my complaint), and we received an unsatisfactory response (link to response) that talked around the topic without really addressing the issue.

Subsequent emails (link to mine) were more successful, and TDI Executive Director Claude Stout replied that he would discuss this with his board and get back to us. After a few days, TDI issued an Apology and Retraction (link to it), and released a new Press Release (link to it) that modified the oppressive language!

A few OHL advocates were disappointed that TDI's corrective action didn't go as far as they would have liked. But the vast majority realized what a momentous action TDI had taken and applauded them for their courage. (link to my "thank you").

I believe this is a huge step in the struggle for social justice for the OHL community. To have a renowned and respected organization with its roots in the Deaf community acknowledge and renounce the DeafAndHardOfHearing myth is monumental. I have no doubt that TDI will be much more careful with their language in the future, and I also think they will become an ally in our struggle to convince other organizations to stop their oppression.

- Article 2: Who listens to a deaf old Marine?
By Joe Palmer, For the News-Leader
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: You know how I like to take a sentence or two to comment on an article before you read it. I won't even try on this one, because there's no way I can add to Joe's message! It is reprinted with his kind permission.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dad was in the Korean War - a U.S. Marine and proud of it. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Dad's a Chosin Marine. If you don't know what that is, find an old leatherneck and ask him. Dad was in an artillery company that was engaged in some of the war's worst battles.

He's a man of few words. He doesn't talk much about it, but you can see that bloody, forgotten war in his eyes when he does. The fighting was so fierce at times, the artillery fired around the clock and the enemy kept coming. The gun barrels got so hot they packed snow and ice on them to keep them from warping and to prevent the charges from detonating prematurely. The enemy came in waves, getting vaporized by point blank artillery fire. The noise was so loud you finally got numb to it, Dad says. They slept on the frozen ground with artillery thundering over them all night.

It took a toll on him. He remembers the carnage wrought upon an enemy bent for his destruction but derives no pleasure from it. He prays for their souls. He was wounded but the wound wasn't apparent until about 20 years ago when he started losing his hearing. He went to doctor after doctor to no avail. Then someone referred him to the Veterans Administration. The VA doctors examined him and said that kind of hearing loss could only be caused by prolonged exposure to extraordinarily loud, concussive sounds. He'd eventually lose his hearing altogether. They fitted him with some high-tech hearing aids. They worked for a while, but then we noticed that Dad wasn't taking part in family conversations. He looked confused and lost a lot. He went back to the VA and they said there was nothing else they could do. He was going deaf.

Now he's almost completely deaf. It won't be long before he is. A man who used to love a big hearty laugh is now mostly silent because he's reluctant to speak for fear of sounding loud and stupid and getting something wrong in conversations. He's afraid to drive. He can't hear the doorbell. He can't talk with his kids and grandkids unless they're almost in his face and speaking very loud. Even then, he misunderstands a lot. Forget talking on the phone. Those of us who live away can only talk with him when we go home.

Dad doesn't have a bullet wound or a face full of shrapnel like his brother, who was blown out of his foxhole. When the battle ended and the medals were handed out, there were none for Dad because he had an invisible wound.

You can get a little fragment of steel in your arm and get the Purple Heart. You get your eardrums turned to hash by non-stop howitzer fire and go deaf because of it but that doesn't count.

The VA started sending him disability checks a few years ago. They said he could get an increase if his condition worsened, which it did. When he asked for an increase, a government for which he put his life on the line turned him down. Not once, but twice.

The same government that throws money at pork-barrel projects, subsidized corporate fat cats and pointless wars denies a disabled old Marine a few dollars more. Can you believe it?

Semper Fi, Marine. On behalf of a grateful nation - blah, blah, blah. Empty words.

They say he can appeal. He's doing that now. All his doctors have confirmed that his condition has deteriorated badly but the government has been unyielding to date. It doesn't mind creating disabled war veterans. But it's easy to forget them when they're old. They don't complain much. It's not their way.

It should make you angry. It could be your dad. It shouldn't be anyone's. The old man deserves an increase in his disability. It's the least our country can do for a deaf old Marine. He shouldn't have to plead. A Purple Heart would be nice, too. Not that he would ever ask. It's not his way, so I'll do it for him.

Are you listening, Uncle Sam?

- Article 3: Anti-epileptic drugs may help prevent and treat noise-induced hearing loss
By Gwen Ericson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Editor: Here's news of an anti-epileptic drug that prevents and treats noise-induced hearing loss. Because it is already FDA-approved (although for other applications), this drug could be commercially available sooner than the brand new drugs.

Here's the press release from the folks at Washington University,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the battlefield, a soldier's hearing can be permanently damaged in an instant by the boom of an explosion, and thousands of soldiers returning from Iraq have some permanent hearing loss. But what if soldiers could take a pill before going on duty that would prevent damage to hearing?

Research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests a medicinal form of hearing protection may someday be a possibility. A group headed by Jianxin Bao, Ph.D., research associate professor of otolaryngology and head of the Central Institute for the Deaf's Presbycusis and Aging Laboratory, has found that two anti-epileptic drugs can prevent permanent hearing loss to a significant degree in mice exposed to loud noises.

"The military has a tremendous need for preventing noise-induced hearing loss," Bao says. "But others would also benefit. For example, many hunters have hearing loss on the side where they hold their gun, and pilots are especially prone to hearing loss because of the noise in airplane cabins. Protective equipment or earplugs aren't always appropriate, and right now no drug on the market can prevent or treat noise-induced hearing loss."

Bao's laboratory is dedicated to the study of both age-related and noise-induced hearing loss. About 28 million Americans have a hearing impairment, and excessive noise is the predominant cause of permanent hearing loss. At least 30 million people in the United States encounter hazardous levels of noise at work, particularly in jobs such as construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, transportation and the military.

Bao and colleagues found that if they exposed mice to loud sounds and then gave them trimethadione (Tridione(r)) or ethosuximide (Zarontin(r)) - anticonvulsive medications used to treat epilepsy - they could prevent a significant amount of permanent hearing loss. When mice got the medications before noise exposure, only trimethadione, not ethosuximide, significantly reduced subsequent hearing loss. The results are reported in Hearing Research and are now available through advanced online publication.

Bao notes that other researchers are investigating agents such as antioxidants for their potential in preventing hearing loss, but the two anticonvulsive drugs his lab studied have had FDA approval and so could be used much sooner in clinical trials that study hearing loss.

The experiments in mice showed that the drugs could reduce by about five decibels the permanent threshold shift that can occur after noise exposure. For example, if the softest sound the mice could hear before the noise was 30 decibels, after the noise it might take a louder, 50-decibel sound for the untreated mice to hear but only 45 decibels for the treated mice. A decibel is a standard unit of sound, and normal conversation is around 60 decibels.

"In people, a five decibel difference in hearing ability can be important for everyday speech," Bao says. "We will continue our investigations of these kinds of drugs to see if we can improve the results. One possibility is to combine an anticonvulsant with an antioxidant to increase the protective effect."

Both drugs tested are T-type calcium channel blockers, which inhibit the movement of calcium ions into nerve cells. In the ear, calcium may play a role in causing damage to hair cells (specialized cells that sense sound vibrations) and the nerve cells that connect the hair cells to the hearing centers of the brain.

These anti-epileptic drugs can have unwanted side effects such as dizziness and sleepiness. "The drugs' side effects would be detrimental in certain situations," Bao says. "But lowering the dosage and combining them with other drugs may be effective. Newer versions of anti-epilepsy drugs have fewer side effects, and it may be possible to modify the structure of the drugs so that they don't cross into the brain, which could avert some side effects."

Shen H, Zhang B, Shin J-H, Lei D, Du Y, Gao X, Wang Q, Ohlemiller KK, Piccirillo J, Bao J. Prophylactic and therapeutic functions of T-type calcium blockers against noise-induced hearing loss. Hearing Research Dec 31, 2006 (advanced online publication).

Funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Organization for Hearing Research Foundation supported this research.

Washington University School of Medicine's full-time and volunteer faculty physicians also are the medical staff of Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals. The School of Medicine is one of the leading medical research, teaching and patient care institutions in the nation, currently ranked fourth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

No escape from background music - a pain in the ear

HEARING-AID wearers of the world, unite! Join me in my mission to ban background music, which plagues our hearing in all walks of life. A stroll around Circular Quay has turned into a cacophony of buskers vying for our attention, making it an impossible venue for chatting with friends.

Asymmetric Hearing Loss from "Shooter's Ear"

Damage can accumulate quickly from impact/impulse noise exposure at these levels. Permanent hearing loss can occur with just a few unprotected shots, so firearm users should always be counseled to use appropriate hearing protection when using guns. Specialized hearing protection is available for shooters, with some technologies permitting ambient or environmental sounds to pass through, with special electronics shutting down the noise before it reaches damaging levels. Hearing protection is absolutely essential for shooters.

Five Myths in Assessing the Effects of Noise on Hearing

Myth 1: A notch at 4 kHz is called a "noise notch" and it means that the hearing loss was caused or contributed to by noise exposure.
Myth 2: Asymmetric hearing losses are caused by asymmetric exposures.
Myth 3: Occupational noise exposure is the most significant cause of noise induced hearing loss in the United States.
Myth 4: Occupational noise is far more hazardous than nonoccupational noise.
Myth 5: All loud leisure noise is dangerous noise.
