Product Description: Michael Chorost became a cyborg on October 1, 2001, the day his new ear was booted up. Born hard of hearing in 1964, he went completely deaf in his thirties. Rather than live in silence, he chose to have a computer surgically embedded in his skull to artificially restore his hearing.
This is the story of Chorost's journey -- from deafness to hearing, from human to cyborg -- and how it transformed him. The melding of silicon and flesh has long been the stuff of science fiction. But as Chorost reveals in this witty, poignant, and illuminating memoir, fantasy is now giving way to reality.
Chorost found his new body mystifyingly mechanical: kitchen magnets stuck to his head, and he could plug himself directly into a CD player. His hearing was routinely upgraded with new software. All this forced him to confront complex questions about humans in the machine age: When the senses become programmable, can we trust what they tell us about the world? Will cochlear implants destroy the signing deaf community? And above all, are cyborgs still human?
A brilliant dispatch from the technological frontier, Rebuilt is also an ode to sound. Whether Chorost is adjusting his software in a desperate attempt to make the world sound "right" again, exploring the neurobiology of the ear, or reflecting on the simple pleasure of his mother's voice, he invites us to think about what we hear -- and how we experience the world -- in an altogether new way.
Brimming with insight and written with dry, self-deprecating humor, this quirky coming-of-age story unveils, in a way no other book has, the magnificent possibilities of a new technological era.

Product Description: HEALTH / THERAPY / VESTIBULAR / PATIENT HANDOUTS.
Balance disorders and dizziness are among the most common reasons for falls to occur in our aging population. It is estimated that almost 85% of these falls involve the vestibular system. However, with correct assessment and proper treatment (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy), first falls and repeat falls can be prevented for balance-disordered people.
Dr. Marian Girardi has studied and compiled important data to assess and treat vestibular disfunctions. She has documented and grouped this valuable information into an easy-to-understand format to include:
Anatomy and physiology of the vestibular system. Identifying the patient with vestibular problems. Assessment tools for vestibular diagnosis. Risk and safety factors for falls. Treatment using VRT (Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy). VRT exercises for vision, head and eye movements to improve and maintain long-term balance and gait. 22 reproducible patient handouts for easy duplication.
A valuable resource book for healthcare students, therapists, and professionals.
Product Description: An excellent reference for speech-language pathologists and voice pathologists in clinical practice, each chapter is a building block for the understanding of the ultimate goal: the ability to evaluate and treat voice disorders. It begins with the evolution of treatment of voice disorders, tracing through decades of advancement up to the 21st century how voice problems were perceived, understood, and treated to give a better appreciation for today's practice. The anatomy and physiology of the physical laryngeal structures are explicitly described, and in-depth descriptions of laryngeal pathologies, causes, and treatment are included. A diagnostic voice evaluation gives detailed descriptions for the clinician, including the patient interview, techniques for perceptual voice analysis, and report writing strategies. Detailed chapter on voice therapy uses case studies to fully illustrate with concise descriptions that allow the reader to implement the therapies.
