aural rehabilitation

Back 2

services designed to help person cope with hearing loss

aural rehabilitation

Back 4

acquired hearing loss. focus on learning strategies

Front 5

hearing aids

Back 5

make sounds louder at specific frequencies

Front 6

ear-level aids

Back 6

behind the ear
in the ear
in the canal

Front 7

body aids

Back 7

larger, more powerful
less popular
worn on/under shirt

Front 8

FM assistive listening devices

Back 8

used in classrooms, transmitter sends sound over fm radio waves.

Front 9

cochlear implants

Back 9

electrodes surgically implanted into the cochlea
delivers electrical impulses to auditory nerve inside cochlea
doesnt make sound louder
takes place of hair cells

Front 10

auditory training: children

Back 10

most children have some residual hearing. skill of listening must be learned. develop awareness of sound for types of sound, speech, high vs low pitch, consonants.

Front 11

Non Speech Ques

Back 11

read facial expressions/body language. situational context

Front 12

speechreading

Back 12

challenging - 30% of speech sounds visible on lips

Front 13

manual communication methods

Back 13

ASL, cued speech (8 hand shapes at 4 locations near mouth)

Front 14

Aural/Oral Approach

Back 14

focus on residual hearing and speech. heavy emphasis on amplification, auditory training, and speech/language therapy

Front 15

Manual Approach

Back 15

goal is acquisition of ASL, use ASL for all communication, speech is given little attention

Front 16

Total Communication Approach

Back 16

combines manual and aural/oral approach

Front 17

physiology of hearing

Back 17

outer ear, sound waves are directed by pinna into ear canal, waves strike ear drum and cause it to vibrate, the eardrum is connected to mallevs, which move ossicles back and forth. movement of stapes footplate makes waves in fluide of cochlea, pressure of waves cause vibrations in cochlea, stimulating hair cells. movement of hair cells generate nerve impulses. nerve impulses are passed to the 8th nerve and transmitted to auditory area of brain

Front 18

pinna

Back 18

outer ear that directs sound waves into ear

Front 19

Mechanical part of hearing process

Back 19

the eardrum is connected to mallevs which move ossicles back and forth

Front 20

Sensory part of hearing process

Back 20

the movement of the stapes footplate makes waves in fluide of the cochlea

Front 21

sound

Back 21

traveling wave in air

Front 22

hertz (Hz)

vowels

Back 23

low frequency

decible (dB)

Back 25

loudness measurement, normal speech btwn 50 and 70 dB

Front 26

Outer Ear

Back 26

pinna and ear canal

Front 27

middle ear

Back 27

tympanic membrane, middle ear space, ossicles

Front 28

high frequency sounds stimulate the...

Back 28

base

Front 29

low frequency sounds stimulate the

Back 29

tip

Front 30

vibrations in ear stimulate the

Back 30

hair cells

Front 31

auditory nerve

Back 31

carries electrical impulses from cochlea to brain - primary auditory area in temporal lobe

Front 32

Fluent (or receptive) aphasia

Back 32

relatively normal pitch and loudness
some hesitation, words generally flow

Front 33

Non-fluent (or expressive) aphasia

Back 33

effortful, hesitant speech

Front 34

Wernickes aphasia

Back 34

general aphasia type:fluent
lesion location: wernickes area
speech comprehension: poor
reading comprehension: impaired
spoken characteristics: jargon, poor repitition, impaired naming, sentences lack meaning

Front 35

Brochas aphasia

Back 35

nonfluent aphasia
lesion location: brocas area
speech comprehension: good
reading: variable
spoken characteristics: short sentences, not grammatical, poor repition, poor naming. slow nad labored speech with articulation and phonological errors

Front 36

Global aphasia

Back 36

nonfluent
lesion location: large hemisphere lesions
speech comprehension: very poor
reading: poor
spoken characteristics: limited to few words, poor repitition and naming

Front 37

Spontaneous Recovery from Aphasia

Back 37

begins within days of the stroke, continues for six months after stroke, significant recovery can occur. due to reduction of swelling in brain

Front 38

Alzheimers Disease

Back 38

progressive neurological disorder that leads to personality changes, memory loss, intellectual slowing. most common form of dementia. no cure, rather management of disease. drug treatments can improve cognition and slows process. progresses in 3 stages over 8-10 years.

Front 39

Symptoms of Alzheimers

Back 39

(in order of progression) trouble dressing for weather or occasion, arguing, wandering, memory loss, repetition, lose things, difficulty eating, controlling bowels, speaking, walking

Front 40

conductive hearing loss

Back 40

problem in outer or middle ear. sounds are muffled. causes = impacted ear wax, foreign objects in canal, swimmers ear, middle ear infection(most common)

Front 41

Sensorineural loss

Back 41

problems w/inner ear or auditory nerve. damaged hair cells in cochlea. speech sounds distorted. Causes - congenital, 1 in 1000 children are born with it, noise induced, aging, tumor.
