Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is a problem in the outer or middle ear, so sound cannot be conducted the same as in a healthy ear. Sensorineural hear loss is caused by non-functioning hair cells in the cochlea. Sensorineural is more serious because it could be permanent. Both sensorineural and conductive hearing loss limit the ear from producing the same sound as a healthy ear, but they are treated in different ways. Conductive hearing loss can be treated with medication, and sensorineural can be treated with earing aids or middle ear implants. Even though this experience was tough I’m still glad I did it. Deaf people face a challenge every day of their lives. I know I was only “deaf” for 12 hours, but it opened my eyes to what deaf people go through. These assignments we do in class are interesting, educational, and make make me feel thankful I have these abilities some might take for
