Following a single 150 mg IM dose of DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection, medroxyprogesterone acetate concentrations, measured by an extracted radioimmunoassay procedure, increase for approximately 3 weeks to reach peak plasma concentrations of 1 to 7 ng/mL.
Deafness can increase until it is almost impossible to hear any sound, but it has been found that most deaf persons can hear at least one sound. If a person is totally deaf, he cannot hear a thing including his own voice. Some people are born deaf, and some lose their hearing from disease or other causes. Most hearing problems are caused by diseases that do not necessarily start in the ear but reach it from some other part of the body.
Deaf people have their own culture, language, and can function independently by attending school and by working, just like anyone else. Both Deaf and Hearing people need to learn to accept the differences in each other while understanding that these differences do not make the other strange. Instead, each can learn to communicate with the other and care for each other. Deaf Culture may seem strange to a Hearing person. Each ethnic and religious group has its own culture. A culture is when a group of people come together because they have the same beliefs, thoughts, and behavior patterns. Much of what has developed as Deaf Culture has developed just as many cultural norms develop.
