An editor at \"The New York Times,\" at daily editorial meetings she couldn't hear what her colleagues were saying. She had gone profoundly deaf in her left ear; her right was getting worse. As she once put it, she was \"the kind of person who might have used an ear trumpet in the nineteenth century.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudiologists agree that we're experiencing a national epidemic of hearing impairment. At present, 50 million Americans suffer some degree of hearing loss 17 percent of the population. And hearing loss is not exclusively a product of growing old. The usual onset is between the ages of nineteen and forty-four, and in many cases the cause is unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Shouting Won\"'\"t Help \"is a deftly written, deeply felt look at a widespread and misunderstood phenomenon. In the style of Jerome Groopman and Atul Gawande, and using her experience as a guide, Bouton examines the problem personally, psychologically, and physiologically. She speaks with doctors, audiologists, and neurobiologists, and with a variety of people afflicted with midlife hearing loss, braiding their stories with her own to illuminate the startling effects of the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a surprisingly engaging account of what it's like to live with an invisible disability and a robust prescription for our nation's increasing problem with deafness. \u003cbr\u003eA \"Kirkus Reviews \"Best Nonfiction Book of 2013\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Sarah Crichton Books","offers":[{"title":"Shouting Won't Help: Why I--And 50 Million Other Americans--Can't Hear You | Katherine Bouton | Hardcover | 9780374263041 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks I 1790081","offer_id":51050927718658,"sku":"1790081","price":28.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71_pY5N1BKL.jpg?v=1794626352","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/shouting-wont-help-why-i-and-50-million-other-americans-cant-hear-you","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
