Thirty-six days after Auguste’s surgery, he lifted his head after audiologists Margaret Winter sent pulses of electric currents to his brain. Lifting his head showed that he heard a sound.

    An individual with a mild loss may not perceive themselves as needing a hearing instrument of that their loss is not severe enough to warrant intervention. It has been reported that individuals on average wait 6.7 years after becoming aware of their hearing loss before adopting hearing aids (Kochkin, 2009). An extensive body of literature exists on the positive impacts of wearing hearing aids, such as improved quality of life, specifically improving communication in relationships, emotional stability and perceptions of mental and physical health (McCormack & Fortnum, 2013). Given all the benefits of hearing instrument use audiologists should aim to address these barriers and determine ways to help individuals receive intervention more…

Because the Green Party is a lesser known party, I expected a late 90s themed website that was hard to navigate. On the homepage there were links for people to get involved with the party, as well as places to donate.…

When the school librarian set up the lesson, the children had to find the answers to certain questions in the reference books she provided. In my opinion, the school librarian and the English teachers should have added this resource to the lesson plan because it would engage the students in learning about Shakespeare. The age level of this resource would be perfect for elementary and middle school students.…
