First Edition of the first modern text-books on diseaes of the ear! "This work did much to establish otology on a sound basis, lean Marie Gaspard Itard (1774-1838) described startle tests for hearing of children and malingerers, and he developed an acumeter." Garrison & Morton "This two-volume Treatise on the diseases of hearing of Jean Marie Gaspard Itard on the maladies of the ear and hearing brought a new phase in otology. Volume one deals with the anatomy, physiology of the ear, and volume two with the diseases of the ear. Itard took great care while examining his patients, and meticulously presented in volume two, their histories together with an analysis of the appearance of the pathology he saw involving the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane. . Assuming that if his patients' hearing could be improved that speech would follow, Itard attempted to increase hearing acuity of the patients at the Institute by exercising it with sounds from different sources, such as bells presented at different intensities and distances over various periods of time. After realizing the futility of this method , he advocated the use of the visual and tactile aids, such as lip-reading and touching the larynx of the speaker. He objected to the use of sing language, which he belived jeopardized (if not precluded) the acquisition of speech and delayed (if not prevented) the acquisition of reading skills." Dennis G. Pappas, Sr. An Annotated Bibliography . Sein vorzüglichstes, namentlich wegen der darin niedergelegten guten Krankengeschichten und Beobachtungen noch heute sehr beachtenswerthes Werk "Traite des maladies de l'oreille et de audition' war epochemachend und enthält nach einer historischen, anatomischen und physiologischen Einleitung wesentlich praktische, auf Grund von 172 prägnanten Krankengeschichten niedergelegte Thatsachen über die gesamte Ohrenheilkunde, so daß es schwer fällt irgendein Capitel . als vorzugsweise gelungen hervorzuheben."
