Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of hearing tests and their interpretation. It demonstrates how audiologists have developed an in-depth knowledge of how our ears work by studying how sound is perceived differently depending on where the problem lies. Before the late 19th century, there was limited understanding of the causes of hearing loss, and effective treatments were scarce. The author shows how a simple tuning fork test in 1888 opened the door to much broader insights. By the 1950s, groundbreaking studies had revealed key differences in hearing loss patterns depending on whether it was caused by damage to the sound-conducting apparatus of the middle ear or to the sound-receiving apparatus of the inner ear. These patterns form the basis of modern-day hearing tests. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how hystericized individuals in the late 19th century were often victims of misdiagnosis and inappropriate invasive medical interventions. Through case studies from the author's personal practice and other examples, the author argues that these individuals were in fact experiencing neurosis, which manifested as functional disorders of the senses. Due to its similarity to symptoms of organic disease, especially in the ear and nose, and also due to the tendency for hysterical symptoms to mimic organic disease on the opposite side of the body, these patients were often subjected to surgeries that did nothing to address their true condition. The author emphasizes that the key to avoiding such situations is a thorough understanding of the symptoms of hysteria and an understanding that these symptoms are not the result of malingering but rather an actual condition deserving of attention in its own right.
