WAR DEAFNESS
LIKELY TO GIVE LASTING TROUBLE ACCORDING TO AMERICAN SPECIALIST (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.5 a.m.) NEW YORK, October 11. No combat airman would return to civil life after the war with normal hearing, said an American ear specialist, Dr Walter Hughson, addressing the National Association of ear, nose and throat specialists. He estimated that there would be 250,000 cases of impaired hearing among American service men as a result of the war. Dr Hughson said it was unlikely that acquired deafness would be amenable to surgery or that medical treatment would be more than “relatively effective.” The only ready solution of the problem would be the fitting of an adequate hearing aid.
