Business Man Retires
Because of Lost Hearing
Edward D. 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

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,

everything was lost, through
the help of a dear friend, sci
