VYCITAL HARDWARE Phone 98-M --McHenry, 111. HEALTH Dr. Barton • Progress, made in perfecfing new scientific aids for hard-of-hearing. 1--By Dr. James W. Barton 1I7HEN glasses were first • » used the main - thought was to magnify or enlarge print or other objects so that they could' be more readily seen. Gradually glasses were improved so that shortsightedness of longsightedness was corrected, thpn astigmatism (where rays of light do not focus to a single point due. to a defect in the curvature of the lens of the ey^), then weakness of any of the muscles controlling the eyeball; finally double vision lenses, one for reading and one for distance, were produced, and finally contact lenses, which are fitted beneath the eyelids and do away with the need of frames. It would seem that there is the sapie process of development of progress giving aid to those who are hard of hearing. We all remember the large horn that the hard of hearing carried not so many years ago, which was held toward anyone trying to speak to them. Just as the first glasses magnified, or increased the ability tOf see an object, so the horn increased or gathered the sound so that it could be more readily heard. Then followed various types of hearing aids, electrical and mechanical, some of which helped certain cases but were unsatisfactory in others. And just as glasses for the eyes were made to correct more than poor or weak vision, so the new aids for hearing are now manufactured to ^correct different "types" of hard of hearing. , : New Electric Device. Aneditorial in Laryngoscope states: "Great improvements in electric hearing aids are being made with surprising rapidity. Among recent advances in this field the most important is the development of 'selective' amplification (increase in th£ hearing)0 by which the units of a portable carbon microphone hearing device of variable amplifying power at different pitches are assembled in such combination as will best meet the special requirements of the individual as shown by his audiogram." The audiogram is the chart on which the audiometer (the hearing test machine) has marked the hearing ability of the individual at different ranges of sound. The day has now arrived when ear specialists are able to advise the patient as to his needs and these needs can, to a great extent, be met ~by these new heoring dcvice&i.^-- Society Motes O. E.

Thus Dr. John V. V. Nicholls, Montreal, states in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that eyestrain proper means manifestations in the eyeball itself, in the ability to see, and in the body as a whole. Disturbances- due to reading too much or reading in a poor light are relieved by, removing these irritating conditions, whereas symptoms affecting the eyeball, seeing ability, and the general health give rise to much more disturbance. The ocular or eyeball symptoms are dull heaviness over the eyes, itchy and burning sensations in the margins of the lids, and sometimes redness of the eyeball. The visual or "seeing" symptoms are more or less prolonged attacks of blurred vision. There may be periods of double vision. Among the systemic symptoms, due to a disturbance which interferes with the eyes working together properly, are faintness and dizziness. Treatment Takes Time. Dr. Nicholls states that all these systemic symptoms are due to an "imbalance" of the muscles which control or move the eyeball and can be corrected if treatment of this muscle imbalance is properly carried out. This treatment may require considerable time and perhaps much home work on the part of the patient, but the results are very satisfactory. Further, just as the oculist advises the patient to rid himself of any infection present--teeth, tonsils,, sinuses--before having the eyes tested for glasses, so it is suggested that as^"temporary" muscle imbalances are not uncommon after influenza or other depressing ailments, a reasonable time should be allowed for the condition to correct itself before beginning treatment. "Treatment, based on the above principles, carried out with patience and persistence, will be found very successful." £ Bell Syndicate.--WNU Service.
