Audiogram

Auditory Processing Disorder is a part of Central Auditory Disorders (CAPD). APD is a problem understanding spoken language in the absence of hearing loss, individuals will have an abnormally functioning central auditory pathway. Individuals with APD have difficulty understanding speech in the present of normal hearing. Central Auditory Processing (CAP) is how efficient and effective your central nervous system utilizes auditory information, and the neurobiological activity that underlies that…

often report difficulty hearing male voices or vowel sounds in words. As the disease progresses, hearing loss becomes greater due to the stapes becoming completely fixated. This causes sensitivity in both high and low frequencies, flattening the audiogram.…

Therefore there is a big need for new child-friendly means of hearing screen assessments throughout Europe. Firstly, there is a need for the development of new audiograms of young-aged children. Hearing screening in general of young children and neonates as such, has been ongoing since 1998. Since then, there has been a need for the development of frequency specific threshold information in young children so that…

understand. There is one problem with these thresholds though. They are dependent on the person’s abilities at processing inputs and perceiving change applied to their five senses. In a study by Ahadi, Milani and Malaveri (2015) it was determined that audiogram tests were only reliable for testing individual patients due to the fact that some tones were unrecognizable to people with damaged cochlear regions (p. 1,362). When this information is added to my previous example of emergency…

What Are Cochlear Implants? In the past thirty years, scientists and researchers have been developing and improving an electronic medical device, referred to as a cochlear implant (Cochlear Celebrates, 2016). This small therapeutic device replaces one’s damaged cochlea, and is responsible for providing the proper sound signals to the brain so that one can hear. Not to be confused with a hearing aid, a cochlear implant is very different. A cochlear implant is responsible for bypassing the damaged…
