Auditory learning

Otitis media is an inflammation of the middle ear without reference to etiology or pathogens. Next to the common cold, otitis media is the second most common reason that patients are seen at pediatric offices and one of the most frequent reasons for prescribing antibiotics to children (Roland, 2010). The most common bacteria responsible for ear infections are Streptococcus pneumoniae. Otitis media occurs when the Eustachian tubes are swollen or blocked and fluid is trapped in the middle ear.…

An indication that Lucas has an ear infection is that he’s not sleeping well, he hardly eats, and constantly pulling his ear. In children it might be harder to conclude what these symptoms can be exactly since they don’t really speak clearly to actually express what’s bothering them. Chronic otitis media is an inflammation or infection that lies behind the eardrum, it appears and disappears that’s why it’s considered chronic. Some symptoms of otitis media are: sleeplessness, ear pain which…

sensation because it helps the muscle to strech more since you are stimulating those areas more. What is the purpose of a cochlear implant? Is a damage hair cells in child’s, cochlea help establish some degree of hearing by stimulating the auditory nerve directly.…

Sensorineural hearing loss can result from acoustic trauma (or exposure to excessively loud noise), which may respond to medical therapy with corticosteroids to reduce cochlea hair cell swelling and inflammation to improve healing of these injured inner ear structures. Sensorineural hearing loss can occur from head trauma or abrupt changes in air pressure such as in airplane descent, which can cause inner ear fluid compartment rupture or leakage, which can be toxic to the inner ear. There has…

individuals. They compared ARs of 18 subjects under 30yearsold compared to those above 50yearsold (elderly) at a range of frequencies. They found the AR magnitude was significantly lower in the elderly, consistent with age-related changes in the auditory system and stapedius muscle. The participant tested was a 36yearold male, and therefore could have slower reflexes compared to someone under 30yearsold. The aim of this study was to test ARs and compare results with the participant’s pure-tone…

development by incorporating all all three learning domains (visual, auditory and kinesthetic) within the instruction period, and as a reinforcement tool during student’s practice/ on task time. Pre assessment results underline and further back this fact, based upon the fact that the skill was introduced only through visual cue giving. Auditory cues revealed to be most effective when accompanied as an aid with visual or kinesthetic cues. Even as a non auditory learner it is a reminder, a…

informing others of my preferred learning style. I also plan to become a little bit more proficient at using the other two learning styles. There is not a best learning style and I believe that being well rounded in all three learning styles can make you an optimum learner. Until I become a well rounded learner i can tell people that verbal instruction suits me best and that I would be better off with verbal instruction. In conclusion, I know that I am an auditory learner but I will strive to be…

When we look around us we do not even think about it, we check both ways before crossing the street, we admire the sunset early in the morning, or we read a book. But, we never think about how we see things, how does what we see get translated into things that we can understand? It starts in the retina, where the receptor cells are. There are two types of receptor cells, rods and cones, both are only sensitive to visible light. Rods are chiefly responsible for night vision and respond to only…

also known as nerve deafness. Normally, the vibrations from the middle ear create waves in the fluid inside the cochlea. The waves in turn stimulate thousands of delicate hair cells that line the cochlea. Their movement makes nerve impulses in the auditory nerve, which lies just beyond the cochlea and carries the impulses to the…

Noise can cause permanent hearing loss at chronic exposure levels of at least 85 dB or higher for an eight hour period (Peter M. Rabinowitz, Pg.1). The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before NIHL can occur. Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss (Hearing Health Foundation 2015). Hearing loss that is caused by the noise exposure due to recreational or non-occupational activities is termed socioacusis. Hearing loss due to…
