Conductive hearing loss

it.” This project allowed me to follow the words of Harper Lee, receiving the opportunity to understand what it is like to have a mild conductive hearing loss. A conductive hearing loss is due to dysfunction of either the outer or middle ear. To understand an individual’s beliefs, feelings, and values a little bit better, I walked in their shoes for two days. I was able to experience some hardships that are a challenge for a person with a conductive hearing loss would face every day. On the first day, I wore an earplug in only one ear for six…

wish I remembered more in my past sign language courses because I found it extremely hard to convey and receive information. Many of my peers were giving me weird looks during my 12 hours of hearing loss. I felt like they thought I was being rude, so they were rude back to me. My friends and I joke around a lot when we are in our apartment together, so not being able to hear or speak to them was bizarre. Throughout the 12 hours my friends were messing around with me knowing I couldn’t say…

brain. Conductive The outer ear gathers sound waves from the environment and funnels them into the ear canal. At the end of the canal, the waves hit the eardrum, causing it to vibrate. Three tiny bones in the middle ear conduct the vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea (a spiral-shaped chamber that looks a bit like a snail) in the inner ear. If anything interferes with the transfer of sound waves up to this point, the resulting type of hearing loss is called conductive.Conductive hearing…

Hearing Impairment Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Hearing Impairment Hearing impairment means loss of all or part of hearing ability due to sound signals not reaching the brain. Loss of hearing may be gradual or sudden depending on the causes. This condition is best described with reference to the affected part of the hearing system. The three basic types are conductive hearing, sensorineural hearing, and mixed hearing loss. Each of these losses has different causes. Conductive…

the inner ear. The outer ear, the section that is visible to the human eye, allows sounds to enter through the ear canal. The eardrum separates the outer ear from the middle ear. When sound reached the middle ear, the ossicles, which are the tiniest and most delicate bones in one’s body, transfer the initial sounds to vibrations and send them to the inner ear. The inner ear is the home of the cochlea, which changes the sounds into neurological signals for the brain and the auditory nerves. When…

different sounds is truly fascinating. Many people have flawless hearing skills, but others have hearing disabilities that prevent them from being able to recognize different pitches of sound, or how loud or soft a sound is. This is defined as hearing loss, however, hearing loss comes in many forms and is not all one kind. Deafness is another hearing disability that is similar to hearing loss, but contrasts to it as well. As technology advances, humans are creating devices to help cure these…

Hearing loss is no longer a disability throught to affect the elderly. People of all ages can become victims to a hearing loss. The three types of hearing loss are conductive, sensori-neural, and mixed. These three types of hearing impairments affect different anatomical components of the ear. As a pre-professional student interested in the field of audiology, it is important to comprehend the circumstances that individuals with a hearing loss come across day to day basis. This experience…

Middle Ear Case 2A A 60 year old female was seen today for an audiological evaluation following the persistence of fluctuating, hearing loss and tinnitus in her right ear over the last year. She also reports occasional dizziness and aural fullness that affects her right ear more than her left ear. She is currently seeking a hearing aid for her right ear but is wondering if anything may be done to correct her hearing loss. Some additional necessary information may be what was she doing when the…

long-term effects that otitis media can have on children’s education, reading skills, and language knowledge. Golz, A., Westerman, S., Westerman, L., Gilbert, D., and Netzer, A. (2006) claim that as soon as hearing is restored, any reading problems previously observed lose any basis when the child is evaluated again. Williams and Jacobs (2009) counter, “There is clear evidence that some patterns of the disease do predict long-term negative outcomes for speech and language. Early onset, more…
