Communication chain- sender: linguistic level. Put thoughts into? send information from? requires??
- Put thoughts into a LEXICON- an inventory of arranged words
- Send information from brain, to mouth, to nerve impulses, to sound waves
- Requires SYNTAX (rules of how words are put together)
- Requires SEMANTICS (the meaning of words)
Communication chain- sender: physiological level. Impulses to? Activation of?
- Impulses to motor nerves
- Activation of muscles: lungs, vocal cords, tongue, lips, hands, face
Communication chain- sender: acoustic level or optical level. acoustic communication, visual communication
- AC: sounds waves are sent out through speakers mouth
- VC- light waves aka changes in the patterns of light that the receiver sees as they watch the sender.
--Hand signals, facial expressions, face and lip movement
Communication chain- sender: feedback link- monitoring of? adjustment to?
- speaking to receiver as you hear yourself
- helps people to speak clearly an monitor themselves to make sure they are doing so
- Monitoring of acoustic/visual output
- adjustment to muscle activity
Communication chain- receiver: sensation of? processing of? decoding into?
- sensation of acoustic optical stimuli
- processing of information
- decoding into understanding
Development of the communication chain: how is language acquired? when?
- language is acquired "naturally" through repeated exposure to the language early in life
- evidence of a critical period of development of a child's first language
hearing loss and breaks in the communication chain- 90% of deaf US children parents? this creates?
- for about 90% of deaf US children both parents have normal hearing and their communication system is auditory-oral
- this creates an immediate break in the communication chain between parents and child
Definition of audiology- audio=? ogy=? logist=? audiologist=?
- Audio: hearing
- Ogy: study of
- Logist: expert in
- Audiologist=expert in the study of hearing
Audiology- the discipline involved in the p, i, e, h, and r of individuals with hearing loss
- prevention
- identification
- evaluation- hearing disorders + hearing aids and other devices
- habilitation- born it
- rehabilitation- not born with it
History of audiology: 1940's- father of audiology?, 1960s and 1970s? 1990s?
1940s= world war II- returning veterans had hearing loss due to noise exposure.
--Raymond Carhart- developed systems for fitting and evaluating hearing aids
-- Rehab programs grew from military hospitals
1960s and 1970s
-- academic programs in universities; tied to speech, theatre, and psychology
-- represented by the American Speech and Hearing Association
-- Hearing Aid Dispensing was considered unethical by ASHA at this time
1990s
-- American Academy of Audiology developed, gains strength and numbers
-- Influence of hearing aid industry on the profession and vice versa: industry supports the profession, and the profession supports industry by using it
-- popular recognition as a profession- associated with medical field
-- AuD
Academic preparation to be an audiologist- doctoral degree? clinical hours? years? 2012? 08-09?
- Doctoral degree- AuD
- Minimum of 1820 clinical hours
- Usually 4 years, includes externship
- 2012- ASHA will require doctoral level degree for certification
- 2008-2009- audiology was rated as top 30 best careers
Audiologist credentials- licensure v. certification. HADL
L- required in nearly al states, issued by each states, permits you to practice
C- credential issued by an organization that says you've met certain standards
-- American Speech and Hearing Association= CCC certification
-- American Board of Audiology= ABA certification

Hearing Aid Dispensing License- may require tests for hearing aid dispensing board
What do audiologists do? P, I, EoHD, EoFD, R,
- Prevention of hearing loss- hearing conservation programs
- Identification of hearing loss- screenings in school or geriatric settings
- Evaluation of hearing disorders- non medical diagnosis via audiometry or advanced diagnostic tests
- Evaluation of functional disability- ability to participate in life activities
- Rehabilitation- lipreading, auditory training, communication strategies, creation of "least restrictive environment", counseling/education of sign language
Acoustics definition
- the study of science and sound
- Physicist: a form of energy, organized movement of molecules, a pressure wave in an elastic medium
Psychoacoustics definition
- the study and science of the perception of sound
- Psychologist: the sensation that is aroused by sound waves that hit the ear and send a signal along the auditory nerve to the brain
Sound
Energy that results from pressure waves emanating from some force being applied to a sound source in some medium
Requirements for sound
1- sound source
2- force
3- medium- whatever the signal is traveling through from the source of the signal to get the receiver of the signal
sound-source- a source of sound must be able to? to ? it must have 2 properties?
- a source of sound must be able to vibrate
- to vibrate, a source must have mass and elasticity
- mass: quantity of matter
- elasticity: the ability to resist changes in shape or volume
sound- medium- to transmit sound, a medium must be capable of? it must have 2 physical properties?
- to transmit sound, a medium must be capable of being set into vibration
- to do so, it must have mass and elasticity
- mass: quantity of matter present
-- applies to gases, liquids, and solids
- elasticity: the ability to resist changes in shape or volume
properties of the transmitting medium- ex. air, medium has more density at?
- atmospheric pressure: 14.7 lm/in^2 (this is the unit that we will use), 100,000 N/m^2. 1,000,000 dynes/cm^2
- the medium has more density at the bottom of the tube
Wave- ex) vibration motion of a tuning fork
- wave= series of moving impulses, in a medium, in response to vibration
- strike the fork> vibration
- tines displaced from equilibrium
- amplitude (amount that the tines with vibrate) of displacement is proportional to force applied. Ex) strong force applied to the fork> larger that the tines will vibrate
Sound source acting on a medium- begins with?, placing tuning fork in?, before force is applied particles are? what creates a wave?
- begins with brownian motion- random movement of air particles
- Place tuning fork in medium: observe effect on medium
- before force is applied particles are equidistant from one another
- Each molecule moves a little bit then back to it's original place because of elasticity> creation of wave
movement of air mass: density- increases v. decreases, alternate regions of?
- density increases= compression
- density decreases= rarefaction
- alternate regions of compression and rarefaction move through medium
displacement of air medium and wave motion- medium is not? aka? instead?
- medium is NOT displaced over a great distance
- aka medium is not moving
- instead, a wave of disturbance moves THROUGH the medium
Sound waves- particles? wave is=LW ? areas of? TW?
- particles OSCILLATE (move back and forth) about their equilibrium positions
- wave is PROPOGATED (moved) in the same plane as particle displacement= a longitudinal wave
- note areas of compression and rarefaction
- transverse waves- the particle movement is PERPENDICULAR to the wave direction
Types of waves- LW, TW
- Longitudinal wave= direction of moleculemotion is parallel to wave motion. Ex) sound waves, wheatfield
- Transverse wave= direction of molecule motion is perpendicular to wave direction. Ex) water, jump-rope
Motion- vibration, amplitude
- vibration- repetitive (cyclic motion)
- amplitude- amount of movement of a mass from rest to the point of maximum displacement. Ex) low amp= swinging a little/small displacement. high amp= swinging a lot/large displacement
simple harmonic motion- helps to? illustrated by? begins at? moves to? returns to? moves to?
- helps us to conceptualize sound waves
- illustrated by a swinging pendulum
- begins at REST (equilibrium)
- moves to MAXIMUM displacement in ONE direction
- returns to REST (equilibrium)
- moves to MAXIMUM displacement in OPPOSITE direction
the waveform- a plot of? display is called? it is a? called? results in?
- a plot of change in amplitude of displacement over time
- display is called the waveform
- air does not actually undergo this form of excursion: the waveform is a representation
- simple vibration is called sinusoidal motion
- results in a sinusoidal wave
