Conductive Loss

Back 4

Occuring in the outer and middle ear. It is correctible (b/n/n 100%)viar surgery of the ear canal and replacement part for the eardrum.
10% of children in Deaf Schools have conductive loss.
Never exceeds 60 decibels (moderate loss)

physics: Concucting energy; thansmitting or able to transmit energy - electricity

biology: Tranmitting nerve impulse - used to describe a physiological disturbance to pass thru it.

Malinger Person

Back 5

Front 6

A case of Mixed Loss occurs when what two conditions exist?

Back 6

Conductive Loss and SensoriNueral Damage

Front 7

Aphasia

lack of language abilities: the partial or total inability to produce and understand speech as a result of brain damage caused by injury or disease

[Mid-19th century. From Greek, from aphatos “speechless,” from phanai “to speak.”]

Front 8

Agnosia

Back 8

Front 9

Central Deafness...

Name to conditions associated with Central Deafness.

Back 9

Affects the brain

1. Aphasia: lack of language abilities; inability to produce and understand speech.

2. Agnosia: Loss of recognition of familiar people and objects

Front 10

Back 10

Originating in mental or emotional rather than in physiological processes.

psycho - mind
genic - produced by a gene

Front 11

SensoriNeural

Back 11

Damage of the cochlea, auditory nerve, or sometimes the brain.

Not correctible; however, Cochlear Implant Technology provides an alternative solution.

90% of student in Deaf Schools have sensorineural loss

0 decibels - 120 decibel loss::: must evaluate carefully for diagnosis

Front 12

Pre-Lingually Deaf

Back 12

Hearing loss established before a child has learned a spoken language.

Up to 2 years of age

Able to obtain a TTY for free provided proof of certification.

Front 13

Back 13

Hardening and Solidifying of the middle ear bones.

Solution is to break the ear and insert a metal part replacement.

oto- ear
sclerosis - hardening of body tissue

Front 14

A cochlear implant may be helpful in this situation

Back 19

German Measles
Mumps
Syphyllis
Diabeties

Front 20

What are the educational implications for individuals who have sensorineural damage?

Back 20

Educational issues are immense because there is NO ACCESS to language UNLESS visual language is provided to those identifies as severe or profoundly deaf.

(71 decibel loss, 91+ decibel loss respectively)

Front 21

endo-within

Front 24

Exogenous

Back 24

Front 25

Adventitous

Back 25

1. from outside: added from an outside and often unexpected source rather than intrinsic
