Wilk, well known sales promotional exe cutive, was compelled to retire from an active business career because of a progressive hear ing loss, and remained in re tirement for some time. Today, Mr. Wilk finds him self again an active, energetic, driving executive as of former years. Because science has made it possible for him to successfully rehabilitate him self in society, he has decided to devote the rest of his life time to aiding others who may have lost, through defective hearing, their pluce in the so cial scheme of things. Recently in a talk before a group of prominent Chicago business men, Mr. Wilk said in substance: "Through the miracle of modern science 1 have regained an amazing part of my life that I thought was utterly lost to me, lost to me for so long a time that I had actually forgotten how much it meant to me. You who arc listening to me tonight cannot possibly imagine what a tre mendous effect on one's whole well-being, on one's very per sonality, deafness or even a partial hearing loss can mean. "When 1 realized fully that I was becoming progressively deaf, I tried ovotything in a frantic attempt to regain my hearing all to no avail. Peo ple with normal hearing do not realize how easily they can offend the deafened . . . and often are unintentionally cruol, cutting shnit their con versation. It is th 'n that the deafened individual usually gives up the effort to listen. "In mv case I had never been subject to tho common ailment f the deafened a feeling that they ate being talked about and pointed out as ccecntnc individual s; nevertheless. I found myselt making embarrassing or ridi culous comments localise 1 misunderstood others, and fell that 1 was a kill joy in a group. 1 had a tendency to back out smiling, nodding, and pretending.

I felt that I had no friend to unlock the door of escape from the soundproof sell of silence. In other words, my whole life was changing; I begun to lose interest in business, friends, and even my own family. "Then, just as I though that everything was lost, through the help of a dear friend, sci ence elime to my assistance. My eyes widened in startled, joyful amazement, then filled with tears, for the first note of a new horizon of hearing burst on mv consciousness and I realized with a sweep of emotional ecstasy that 1 could hear again, ami was the Ed Wilk of old.
