Epidemiological review: some risk factors of hearing loss
... Genetic studies on noise-induced hearing loss appear to be at an early stage. Numbers of the studies on individual genes or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are still limited. Six of the ten studies found are based on two sample sets in Sweden and Poland. It is noted that some genetic mutation ...

Telecommunications relay service
A telecommunications relay service, also known as TRS, relay service, or IP-relay, or Web-based relay service, is an operator service that allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, deafblind, or have a speech disorder to place calls to standard telephone users via a keyboard or assistive device. Originally, relay services were designed to be connected through a TDD, teletypewriter (TTY) or other assistive telephone device. Services gradually have expanded to include almost any real-time text capable technology such as a personal computer, laptop, mobile phone, PDA, and many other devices. The first TTY was invented by deaf scientist Robert Weitbrecht in 1964. The first relay service was established in 1974 by Converse Communications of Connecticut.
