unilateral hearing loss, due to the very limited studies investigating unilateral hearing loss’ effects on auditory processing. It is known that profound deafness in known to greatly reduce neural activity in the auditory nerve. However, in the past unilateral hearing loss was considered to be of little consequence because normal speech and language development will still occur through the normal hearing ear.

they don’t think about how they can’t enjoy the simple things in life. There are many privileges that hearing people don’t realize they have because the public isn’t educated about deaf or hard of hearing people. Hearing privilege is when a deaf person has to wait months for a movie to have screencaps when everyone else got to watch the movie when it came out. I think that my biggest hearing privilege is being able to go to any movie/concert/event I want without thinking about whether or not…

While in-ear headphones were first introduced in the 1980s, they didn’t become widely popular until the early 2000s when the iPod came out. “Many experts believe it [increased percent of hearing loss] is due... to the increased use in headphones” (American Osteopathic Association).

In the book “Odyssey of Hearing Loss” Dr. Michael Harvey describes three ways that people handle hearing loss. He does this by sharing the story of ten people who lost their hearing at some point in their lives. Each story helps us learn the unique struggle people face when becoming hard of hearing or Deaf. According to Harvey, those that lose their hearing later in life usually describe it is a traumatic experience. In other words, losing their hearing was a major detriment to their lives and…

children who are deaf and hard of hearing, there are a plethora of practices and teaching strategies available to educators. While some of these practices are based primarily on anecdotal evidence, others, such as the practice of Reading-aloud, have a fairly strong research base to work with. Although reading a story aloud to children seems like a fairly simple task, it is actually an incredibly important tool for teaching learners who are deaf and hard of hearing. Literacy continues to be a…

Assistive hearing devices and the deaf community is a germane theme for a culminating project because this conflict has more than one side, the theme connects to science, religion, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the U.S.’s Bill of Rights, and this theme/conflict is interesting.
