Book Description:
There has been an explosion of studies in the field of genetic hearing impairment in the past decade, associated with major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms & conditions involved. However, a recent review has highlighted the very limited number of studies on the effects of such hearing impairment on the individuals & families of those concerned. In The Effects of Genetic Hearing Impairment in the Family, under the aegis of the European Union GENDEAF programme, the editors have taken the first steps into address this deficit in our knowledge & understanding of this topic. The book addresses the problem by secondary analyses of existing large scale population studies, by prospective investigation of individuals with a family history of hearing impairment & by specific studies on patients with otosclerosis & neurofibromatosis 2 & their families. In addition several chapters look at the specific impact of deaf culture, ethnicity & religion on reactions into deafness & the specific needs in genetic counselling. This book represents an important first step in this field & should be an invaluable resource for all professionals involved with people with hearing impairments. rapidshare
