Auditory learning

loss come across day to day basis. This experience allowed me to have a deeper perspective into how a hearing impairment can affect how we communicate and ultimately how we live life. My experience began as I placed the ear plugs in my external auditory canal. The sensation of having the ear plugs in the…

With IM and iLS there is actual improvement in other indirect tasks such as tying ones shoe and behavior regulation. The notion behind Interactive Metronome (IM) is that it works to improve the brain 's rhythm and timing, which is essential for many bodily functions. A deficit in this area can affect attention, concentration, motor control, coordination, balance, gait and control of impulsivity. Since SPD causes delays in the relay time of messages, the IM system therapy uses rhythmic sounds…

Down-Syndrome Do you ever see other people and wonder why they act and look so differently? Their is a genetic disorder by the name of Down-Syndrome. Down-Syndrome is a condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes while others have 46 it is also the most common chromosome condition. People with this disorder may have the facial features of flat face, small nose, upward slant eyes, enlarged tongue and may appear shorter than others. Kids with Down-Syndrome tend to grow at a slower rate. You…

I. Summary (1-2 paragraphs) The documentary Sound and Fury addresses the use of cochlear implants for individuals who are considered by a medical professional or speech and language pathologist as either deaf or hard-of-hearing. In this specific film, Heather, age 6, and Peter, who is almost 2 years of age, are individuals who, after the consultation of numerous respective occupations, believes could benefit from a cochlear implant. This documentary focuses on the fact that the implementation…

Tympanic Membrane Perforation A tympanic membrane perforation is a hole in your eardrum. The eardrum is a thin sheet of tissue that separates your middle ear from your ear canal. It protects your middle ear from germs that can cause infection. A tympanic membrane perforation can cause ear pain and hearing loss. CAUSES This condition may be caused by: An injury, such as: A blow to the side of the head. A fall onto water or a flat surface. Too much pressure on the eardrum,…

time expanses. The pathophysiological mechanism for this condition is not yet known and Moon et al. conducted a study to try and lay a roadmap to where the tinnitus symptoms may stem from. In being able to establish a pathway for damage done to the auditory system future researchers may be able to come up with procedures and implants that may rid tinnitus patients of their affliction improving their quality of daily life. The…

Results The purpose of this research was to illustrate and compare the differences in shapes of auditory filters of two individuals. The signal to noise ratio (P/N0) represented in Table 1, is a ratio of the power in the signal (P) over the spectrum level of noise (N0) which remained at 35 decibels except in the notch. The P/N0 is given in…

obtaining a correct diagnosis. Next, the otoscopic examination is performed using an otoscope. As was mentioned earlier, in order to exclude possible structural abnormalities that may affect test results, otoscopy should be included in any paediatric auditory assessment (Northern & Downs, 2014). After the clinician is satisfied with the findings, tympanometry is performed. Tympanometry is a part of a physiological objective hearing test called Acoustic Immittance Audiometry that evaluates a…

All neonates passed an automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) test and a transient evoked otoacoustic emission test (TEOAE), which showed that the neonates had no hearing loss. After the newborns passed the AABR test, they were tested using TEOAEs and HFT in a non-sound-treated room…

This paper explores the different diseases in which hearing loss is a side effect. The different causes of deafness are broad and are usually categorized between two types of deafness. There are two main types of deafness which are conductive deafness and nerve deafness. There is deafness in which you are born in (can be born in through disease), congenital deafness; and deafness which occurs later in life, adventitious deafness, usually caused by loud noises. The paper explores the Sensorial…
