OUTLINE HOW DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO HUMAN HEARING Damage to human hearing can be affected in many ways, such as noise, medication, disease and injury. Noise: Noise is the most known of damage to human hearing, and is known as Noise Induced Hearing Lose. This occurs when a sound is to loud and becomes harmful to the human ear. How can noise damage our hearing? To understand how NIHL happens, we need to understand how it is that we hear. First, sound waves enter our outer ear then travel through…

Using clinical hypnosis to manage tinnitus has been an alternative therapy technique that has been used for over thirty years. Tinnitus can happen at any age where there is a correlation between the ringing and buzzing in one ear or both. There are varying levels of this condition where some people experience symptoms of low level humming while others may have high-pitched sensations. Many instances of this bothersome issue are preceded by hearing loss which can be due to inner ear damage from…

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…

Auditory Processing Disorder Auditory Processing Disorder(APD) also referred to as Central Auditory Processing Disorder((C)APD) happens when there is a dysfunction in the auditory system. The auditory system is essentially how the ears and brain communicate with one another. Griffin (2002) describes it as “a disorder that occurs when the brain cannot process or understand correctly the sounds the ears hear, even though the ears might be functioning properly” (p. 130). There is some debate over…

Taub, called Improvements in Interval Time Tracking, participants were evaluated on their improvement in timing and rhythm after using the IM system using a pre/posttest study. The results of the study found that “students in the IM treatment group, when compared to the control group, demonstrated statistically significant improvements, close to a two standard deviation increase in measured timing…

. The ear is made up of three parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear.The outer part of the ear collects sound. Sound travels through the auricle and the auditory canal, a short tube that ends at the eardrum. Sound entering the outer ear travels through the middle ear and causes the eardrum and ossicle in the middle ear to vibrate. As it travels, it amplifies and changes from air to liquid. When the stapes moves, it pushes the oval window, which then moves the cochlea. The cochlea takes the…

cord. My brain then processes that message and sends a response back to my muscles via motor neurons. If, for instance, one of my teammates is heading for the ball the same time I am and we are about to collide, my brain has an internal communication system that allows it to intervene with the motor neurons to allow me to stop moving and avoid bumping my teammate. These are called…

for sure why Language Processing Disorder occurs, but we do have a workable understanding of its unique symptoms. It is different to physical hearing loss, where problems occur in the inner ear, and it is a separate issue to Auditory Processing Disorder, which affects the Auditory Cortex. It is not an oral-motor disorder affecting the physical organs of speech, nor is it caused by a poor vocabulary. This means that people with Language Processing Disorder can usually hear fine, and may produce…

It is also said that people do not necessarily have only one modality. Some might have auditory and kinesthetic perception. Others might have multiple sensory preferences. 2 What Kind of Learning Styles Do ESL Learners Prefer? Reid (1987) conducted survey on the learning style preferences of ESL learners. He analyzed the data based on various categories: age, mother language, TOEFL score, length of time in U.S., major fields, etc. Among them, we will discuss three background differences…
