MAIL TRIBUNE, Mcdford, Or. Thursday Oct. 29. 1959 51 Emotional Factors Said to Meet Loss of Hearing Cleveland (Science Serv ice) - Emotional factors affect hearing loss, three scientists reported to the Acoustical So ciety of America meeting here. They have classified the psychic causes of hearing loss into three groups: 1. Availability, the exist ence in a person's life his tory of a "model" for -deaf ness. This may be a period of temporary, partial deafness or close association with a 'deaf person. a. Necessity, the discomfort fear or frustration resulting from a person's attempt to ad just to the world in which he lives and for which he can find no solution except to shut out part of that world. Maintenance Noted 3. Maintenance, the advan tages or gains given to the person because of his symp tom, such as care and atten tion from others around him, exemption from certain ef forts or difficulties on account of his "handicap," a sense of being "special." Prs. Jane Farley, A. J. Der bvshlre and Richard L. Car ter of the Parmly Foundation for Auditory Research, Illi nois Institute of Technology, Chicago, found these charac teristic in a nreliminarv Audy aimed at discovering th emotional and social fac tors that may cause or con tribute to loss of hearing. Emotionally based hearing losses;, thev believe, are so common that their explana tions apply to the life of vir tually every person. 'Oraanicallv Deaf Human beings, they report ed, are organically deaf to such high pitched sounds as made by a dog whistle. Every person is also to some extent "psychically deaf," they noted. The child ' who hears "ice . cream" more easily than the similar sounding "wipe clean and the mother who sleeps through the alarm clock but wakes instantly at the first whimper of her sleeping in fant are two commonplace ex amples of selective percep tion. The scientists attempted to dkplain how emotional fac tors operate tq select, what is heard and not heard, and also what particular psychic fac tors may do the selecting. Certain, Common Needs They found their subjects have-, certain common needs, attitudes a n d biographical facts that can be used to dis tinguish 'deafness prone" in dividuals. In the group they studied, each person showed a need to avoid, rather than meet and solve, unpleasant or highly charged situations. The persons were also strikingly wiling or anxious to sacrifice, or -other debase or ; injure themselves "for others." Most characteristic, they found; was the ability of their experimental subiects to cre ate and maintain a kind of "fantasv world - not the hallucinations of a psychotic patient, but the wishful and sometimes fearful dreams of love and glory that all per sons have, made more "'sutf stantiaL more continuous and more resistant to the distrac tions of the workaday work. Pills Counteract Anticoagulants Philadelphia. (Science Serv ice) - Barbiturates, widely used m sedatives or sleeping pills, can interfere with the . action of anticoagulant drugs often prescribed to help ward off j blood clots in patients with heart or artery disease. If barbiturates are taken before anticoagulants, the anti-clotting drugs lose their effect, Dr. Murray Werner of New : York City told the sci entific session . of the Amer ican Heart Association here Studies in both animals and humans, he said, showed Jhat the bariturates ' apparently prevent the anticoagulants frob being absorbed. v When sedatives; or sleeping pills were given five hours - after the anti-clotting drugs, how ever, this inhibiting effect was not seen.
