HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted December 29, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have found an interested text in the ENT Today journal - it's basically about deaf or hard of hearing doctors and their adaptations of the assistive technology like stethoscopes or real time caption machines but... I have found that I am not alone... A text presented to ENT's - Dr. John Dornhoffer from Arkansas who still doesn't, and Dr.Paul E. Hammerschlag from New York who is implanted with cochlear implant almost 1 and 1/2 year ago. They both dedicated their lives to the extraordinary field of otorhinolaryngology! http://www.enttoday.org/article/hearing-impaired-physicians-tap-technology-to-improve-communication/?singlepage=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted December 30, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 No Ivana you are not alone My audiologist that treated me for the last 20 years has a very severe hearing loss and I know others in the medical field, doctors, nurses, audiologists that have some form of hearing loss Adam, I knew that I am not alone within the field of medicine - I just have never heard for deaf or hard of hearing otorhinolaryngologist. Most of DHoH choose peaceful and not so intensive specialties like family or pediatric medicine or epidemiology. That's why I refered strictly to the specialty of Ear, Nose and Throat because of work where you don't have ideal acoustic like in surgical room, or sound of drill like Dr. explained although you have overcome the problem of actual hearing of lung and heart. Or you can't read lips during surgery or don't hear facial nerve monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted December 30, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 One of my audiologists when dealing with the vertigo issues was deaf since very early age and had two CIs I also know a woman with same medical history like mine who took Audiology classes and after that went to a medical school but now she is working within the field of family medicine - less stressful specialty.
