NEW OPERATION
HELPS DEAF HEAR
Window for Sound Is Carved
Through Bony Wall of
Interior Ear.
By HOWARD w. BLAkESLEE,
Dva-s Science Editor


ATLANTIC CITY. May GA new
surgical operation for common deaf
ness, which carves window for
sound through a bony wall IN the
interior Of the human ear, was an
nounced today to the American Oto-
logical Society by Samuel Kopetzky Of
New York
DR. Kopetzky credited the new
hearing window to Julius Lempert.
NJ D.. and Ralph Almour. M. D.. of
New York The operation is named
after DR.. Lempert.
Z Window is its proper name. for this
new part replaces the work of one of
the two natural windows in the mid
die ear. which are known by their
, Latin names. fenestra ovalis and
fenestra rotunda.
Common Form Of Deafness.
It is one of these. the ovalis. that
gets somewhat too bony and causes
the commonest form of deafness, that
grows worse year by year. In normal
hearing, the ear drum vibrations are
carried by chain of three small
bones to beat against the "ovaliS"
window The bones are the hammer,
anvil and stirrup the latter lying
against the window.
In the new operation the head Of
the hammer is cut off. This lightenS
the weight of the bony chain and
makes its vibrations easier. At the
same time the operation narroTs the
normal half-inch space between the
ear drum and the bony wall where
the windows lie Due to this shorten
ing, the ear drum vibrations beat
more strongly on the whole wall.
Behind this wall lie the semicircular
canals, fuid filled organs which enable
person to keep his balance. Their
fluid transmits the vibrations to the
inner ear. where nerves of hearing pick
them up.
The two natural windows open into
these semicircular canals. One window
appears to compensate for the beating
of the stirrup bone through the other
window.
New Window Cut.
The new surgical window is cut into
one of the semicircular canals. This
cut is through the bOny wall. The
window is finished by fastening a flap
of skin over the new opening 1t is
/ literally skin window. bit of plastic
surgery
The new window does not receive
the direct impact of the stirrup bone,
for it has to be in a different location
in the bcny wall. But it gets enough
vibration to produce a marked i'm
provement in the hearing of some
persons.
The operation is not said DR. Ko-
petzky a cure for all deafness. To
date 43 persons have had the opera
ton. OF the first 25 the hearing Of
l8 improved. OF the other operations
the results are not yet complete. Per-
sons with so per cent loss in hearing
have improved so much that they could
. do without ear phones.

was electrifying on the audience. It
seemed to take hold Of the pure, classic
line Of the Vivaldi and infused it with
a special fervor while not disturbing
its serenity. The musical details, such
as accents and phrasing, were so finely
executed as to seem subordinate to
the vividness Of his general express
sion.
But in the Mendelssohn concerto,
he drove forward from the first note
with a stirring exaltation. The
sorority Of his tone had free play in
the first movement through the broad
sweep Of his bow and he built up his
effects to a dashing climax. The
second movement was woven in
lyric quality of tone which also held
the same vitality although here and
there a divergence from pitch marred
its beautiful structure. Taken at a
moderate speed, the finale surged in
rhythmic utterance, bold and free in
style. The entire audience burst into
applause at the conclusion and the
artist was called back seven times
