WHEN HEARING FAILS
HELP FOR THE HARD OF HEARING: A SURVEY OF THE WORK IN NEW ZEALAND SINCE 1880. By K. (Mrs. G. A. Hurd-Wood), Hamilton. ‘THis is the story of the New Zealand League for the Hard of Hearing established 10 or 15 years ago in Auckland. Although the deaf have never been left to themselves entirely-an English book on lip-reading appeared in 1648the first organised attempt to bring relief to them in New Zealand was made in 1933. Now there are branches in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Napier, Invercargill, and Hastings-all organised to help those whose hearing is not good enough without aids for ordinary social intercourse. It is to be noted that the League makes no attempt to help the congenitally deaf, or tather has given up the attempt to help those and the partially or accidentally deaf simultaneously. This brings returned servicemen into the scope of its operations but excludes those who have never heard at all. The purpose of the booklet, which runs to 64 pages, is to let every sufferer know where to apply for assistance, what to expect, and what not to ask for. ;
