|
Fluency disorders core behaviors
|
Repetitions, Prolongations, Blocks
|
|
|
Repetitions
|
Repeat the same sound. b-b-b-baby
|
|
|
Prolongations
|
elongate sound. baaaaby
|
|
|
Blocks
|
Flow of speech completely stops, hard time continuing
|
|
|
Fluency disorders secondary features

|
|
Hearing loss 2 types
|
Conductive and Sensorineural
|
|
|
Conductive
|
outer/middle ear damage
|
|
|
Conductive hearing loss characteristics
|
Mild to moderate losses; Loss will be flat, meaning that across all pitches hearing is lost
|
|
|
Conductive hear loss cause
|
blockage to the outer ear, hole in ear drum, ear infections
|
|
|
Sensorineural hearing loss
|
inner ear (cochlea/auditory nerve) is damaged
|
|
|
Sensorineural hearing loss characteristics
|
Loss affects different frequencies
|
|
|
Sensorineural hearing loss causes
|
problems during pregnancy, inutero infections, problems at birth. A lot of time unknown, but can be acquired from noise exposure.
|
|
|
Effects on language acquisition depends on these factors
|
Congenital vs. acquired (when, how) and Prelinguial vs. Postlingual
|
|
|
Deaf vs deaf
|
Deaf- anyone who associates themselves with the deaf community; deaf-anyone who has hearing loss
|
|
|
Prevalence of pediatric hearing loss
|
5-6/1000 in US
|
|
|
Most deaf children are born to
|
hearing parents (80-90% of the time)
|
|
|
Having hearing loss as a kid affects life in
|
many ways; social communication, academics, etc.
|
|
|
Cochlear implant
|
bypasses the damages part of ear and goes directly to the auditory nerve.
|
|
|
Cochlear implant hearing vs. normal hearing
|
Does not restore normal hearing.
|
|
|
Candidates for cochlear implant
|
deaf or severely hard of hearing; typically children younger than 6
|
|
|
Identifying hearing loss in children
|
otoscopic exmamination, audiometry, threshold
|
|
|
Otoscopic examination
|
Look in your ear to see auditory canal and tympanum membrane
|
|
|
Adiometry
|
can look at hearing loss
|
|
|
Threshold
|
lowest volume a person can hear 50% of the time at each frequency.
|
|
|
Hearing testing in babies and small children
|
tympanometry and otoacoustic emissions
|
|
|
Tympanometry
|
measures middle ear functions.
|
|
|
Otoacoustic emissions and evoked auditory potential
|
measures hearing in babies
|
|
|
Hearing aids
|
amplifies sound. Isn't good in noisy environment.
|
|
|
adult hearing loss may happen…
|
gradually
|
|
|
Prevalence of adult hearing loss
|
more than 31 million Americans; 90% of people over 80
|
|
|
Most common kind of hearing loss
|
sensorineural (Cochlear damage)
|
|
|
Sensorineural hearing loss
|
Cochlear damage; makes high frequency sounds harder to hear
|
|
|
Cause of adult hearing loss
|
age, noise exposure, head trauma, barotrauma, tumor, ototoxic drugs, infection.
|
|
|
Most common cause of hearing loss
|
noise
|
|
|
Prebycusis
|
hearing loss loss due to aging
|
|
|
Prevent hearing loss
|
hearing conservation. Turn down music, ear protection, don't put stuff in ear.
