Affirmative legislative action in many countries now requires that public spaces and services be made accessible to disabled people. Although this is often interpreted as access for people with mobility impairments, such legislation also covers those who are hearing or vision impaired. In these cases, it is often the provision of advanced technological devices and aids which enables people with sensory impairments to enjoy the theatre, cinema or a public meeting to the full. Assistive Technology for the Hearin-impaired, Deaf and Deafblind shows the student of rehabilitation technology how this growing technical provision can be used to support those with varying reductions in auditory ability and the deafblind in modern society. Features: instruction in the physiology of the ear together with methods of measurement of hearing levels and loss; the principles of electrical engineering used in assistive technology for the hearing impaired; description and demonstration of electrical engineering used in hearing aids and other communications enhancement technologies; explanation of many devices designed for every-day living in terms of generic electrical engineering; sections of practical projects and investigations which will give the reader ideas for student work and for self teaching. The contributors are internationally recognised experts from the fields of audiology, electrical engineering, signal processing, telephony and assistive technology. Their combined expertise makes Assistive Technology for the Hearing-impaired, Deaf and Deafblind an excellent text for advanced students in assistive and rehabilitation technology and to professional engineers and medics working in assistive technology who wish to maintain an up-to-date knowledge of current engineering advances.

The HI 96715C is a medium range, waterproof photometer for measuring ammonia levels in water samples. The meter uses an adaptation of the ASTM Manual of Water and Environmental Technology, D1426-92, Nessler method, and a reaction between the reagent and ammonia in the sample causes a yellow tint. The light source is a light emitting diode, and the light detector is a silicon photocell with narrow band interference filter. A GLP feature indicates when the device was last calibrated and allows the user to restore factory calibration. Range is 0.00 to 9.99 mg/L (ppm) + or - 0.05 mg/L (ppm) or 5% of reading, with resolution 0.01 mg/L (ppm). The device operates on one 9V battery, with an auto-off function after 10 minutes of non-use. Dimensions are 192 x 104 x 69 mm (7.6 x 4.1 x 2.7”) with weight 360 g (12.7 oz.). Reagents are purchased separately. Ammonia is often an indicator of organic decay, and high levels can be harmful to many organisms. Ammonia testers are used to measure ammonia levels in natural, industrial, and waste waters. Hanna Instruments manufactures a wide variety of analytical instrumentation, including pH meters, multi-parameter meters, electrodes, chemical reagents, and buffer solutions.
