We also have several students who have been diagnosed with ADHD and hyperactivity. These students require additional resources to function in the classroom. Our class is categorized as an inclusion classroom. We work closely with special education teachers and paraprofessionals to provide for all students who may be receiving special services outside the classroom. Our school also provides additional resources and tutoring for our Alaska Native students. This program is integrated into our classroom through additional educational resources and community outreach.

In 1889, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) was adopted as the formal name of the organization. NAD went through many difficult times, but one of the first was in 1920, when deaf people were being refused the right to obtain a driving license.

    The downside of this is that usually other nonmusical classes and goals are considered more important than musical activities. Nancy Williams is a pianist with hearing loss, she loved to play the piano but was scared that if her instructors found out they would believe that she “was hopeless as a pianist,” even though she tried to hide it she overcame this shamefulness of her condition. She personally made her experience into five steps to help music teachers, on how to guide students of any age with hearing loss (Williams, 1). Just as Darrow provides key information on how to include students with hearing loss in their class, Williams also has her own way of helping out music…

    There may never be a more important survival sense for a soldier than hearing. In a war zone, hearing allows a war fighter to be aware of the enemy miles away before any direct contact happens. However, more often than not, it’s the sense of hearing that gets damaged first. Truth to tell, large numbers of returning servicemen get back to society largely impaired—unable to engage in a normal everyday conversation, much less follow through military instructions.…

    The identification of genes causing non-syndromic hearing impairment (ARNSHL) [http://dnalab-www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh/] has partially resolved the puzzle of clinical and genetic heterogeneity of deafness (1). Among these genes the gene with the most significant impact on the population genetics and genetic counselling is the GJB2 (connexin-26) gene with the mutation c.35delG that accounts for the majority of mutations in deaf Caucasians (2, 3). Studies published so far have reported the differences in frequency of the mutation in different populations, and its variability in clinical impact on hearing impairment (4, 5). The disorder is highly heterogeneous; every population has a unique HL etiologic profile dependent on ethnic, geographic, social and medical factors.…

    Severe Hearing Loss

    Severe hearing loss may be inadequately treated with hearing aids and cochlear implants are the standard treatment for more severe forms of hearing loss. Cochlear implants replace the function of hair cells that are no longer able to generate electrical impulses in response to sound. Therefore, these devices may provide a viable alternative to hearing aids among adults with sensorineural hearing loss because they bypass damaged hair cells by transmitting the electrical impulses directly to the acoustic nerve.…

    The presence of excess noise has been associated with occupational hearing loss, which is the most common work-related injury in the United States (CDC, 2012). Over 22 million workers in the US are exposed to hazardous levels of noise in their work place. Additionally, there are many ototoxic chemicals that can attributed to the damage to the parts of the ear that are associated with hearing such as: toluene, styrene, xylene and can be synergistic with mechanical stress to the ear (USAPHC, n.d.). Carbon monoxide has been shown to enhance the severity of hearing loss. Minimizing exposure to degreasers, paint thinners, white spirits, exhaust can reduce the severity of mechanical hearing loss.…
