ditions where it is desirable TO
make tests; second, aids for the
hearing which would be suitable
for various degrees of deafness
under various conditions of use;
third, apparatus for aiding and
teaching the deaf to speak prop
erly, and fourth, apparatus which
enables those who have lost their
power Of speech through an OPP
GRAFTON to speak again.
This latter apparatus consists
snIa
tests has been found highly sue
cessful.
The third type of apparatus con-
sists Of amplifiers for the voice,
graded to the conditions OF the
subject. The use Of amplifierS OF
different intensity to reproduce the
voice so as to be heard uniformly
by people of different degrees OF
deafness is another of the highly
successful steps taken by experts
along this line.
