  Faculty Profile
  
  Philip Zazove Doesn't Always Listen
  
  Philip Zazove, M.D., has never listened to people who told him what he couldn't do, and it isn't because of his hearing loss. A family practice physician and U-M faculty member since 1989, Zazove was 4 years old before his parents, both physicians, discovered he was deaf when he asked his father to turn around and look at him when he spoke.
  
  "Philip, I don't have to look at you to hear you," his father said.
  
  "Yes, you do," he answered.
  ...
  "Deaf persons have been found to be the non-English speaking minority at greatest risk for miscommunication with their physicians," Zazove says. "If we can help this group, there's potential for helping other non-English speaking minorities. People who have a profound hearing loss in general have a lower understanding of how to cope."
  
  Hearing loss is the country's second most common disability, affecting nearly one in 10 Americans, many of whom don't want people to know. "My father used to tell people about my hearing," Zazove says, "and I'd tell him, 'Don't tell them that, don't tell them that.' I didn't want people looking at me."
  
  When they look at him now, it could be as an author as much as a physician. His second book, Four Days in Michigan, highlighting the conflict between the deaf and hearing communities in the 1940s and the early 21st century, is due out this summer. His third, a mystery featuring a deaf detective, is scheduled for 2010.
  
  When Zazove opened his practice, he knew of only two other deaf physicians in the country. Now he estimates there are between 50 and 100, either in practice or training.
  
  "The increase is probably due to a combination of factors, including some of us showing it could be done, the availability of technology, and the Americans with Disabilities Act that mandates equal access," he says.
