Each of these learning styles have their own set of strengths and weaknesses. According to (Stutz, n.d.), knowing how you learn will enable you to apply your learning style preferences to maximize your results. (Tips for Auditory Learners, n.d.) advises that auditory learners perform best using these helpful strategies: study in small groups, try to bring a tape recorder to class, read notes aloud, and try to sit towards the front of the class room in order to hear well. Maybe you see yourself…

Paelo Manalo Dr. Aida Metzenberg BIOL 241 April 3, 2016 Hear Them Out The first few weeks of pregnancy are the most critical time any complications that can happen to the embryo; most birth defects occur during this time frame. Anotia and Microtia (AM) are birth defects diagnosed when a baby is born. Anotia and Microtia are almost similar diseases. The treatment depends on the severity of the disease and how the ear is formed. The diagnosis for the disease is noticeable at birth however the…

As sound waves enter the ear, they travel through the outer ear, the external auditory canal, and strike the eardrum (tympanic membrane) causing it to vibrate. The central part of the eardrum is connected to a small bone of the middle ear called the malleus (hammer). As the malleus vibrates, it transmits the sound vibrations to the…

“Unilateral hearing loss (UHL) means that hearing is normal in one ear but there is hearing loss in the other ear. The hearing loss can range from mild to very severe (ASHA).” Many children with unilateral hearing loss are identified at birth through newborn hearing screening programs. Early identification and intervention of hearing loss can slow down the progression or stop the hearing loss process. Early intervention is highly important for children who have unilateral hearing loss.…

I want to first start off by saying this was a hearing person that talked about the functions of what an audiogram does. I observed a guested speaker who talked about the audiogram. She gave us information about what audiogram and what she does. An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer which as a Y and X axis. The Y axis represents intensity measured by decibels and the X represents the frequency by hertz. The threshold of…

onto the clump of hair. The first step is to determine the color, length, and diameter of the hair found. The shape and color intensity of pigment granules can be different if the hair has been dyed or bleached. Dyed hair has color in the cuticle and cortex; bleaching removes pigment and gives a yellow tint. Then, determine if the hair found is human hair or animal hair by checking the cuticle scale patterns. There are 3 types coronal, spinous, and imbricate. Coronal scale pattern is rarely…

Misophonia is a brain disorder in which a trigger sound can send a person into extensive irritation or —in extreme cases—even rage. Symptoms typically present themselves in children from the ages of 9 to 13, but it can show both earlier and later in life. Affecting millions of people in the world, misophonia is extremely common and nearly undetectable in most cases. People who have very mild cases often times never go diagnosed; however, it does not usually have a large impact on their everyday…

In the past few years, stories and cases of hearing loss became more and more often. “How and why is this happening?” was the question racing through the minds of people worriedly. Upon hearing this trendy topic, author Jennifer Dignan wrote an article named “Throw Away Your earbuds Now!”, and claims that the reason for hearing loss is answered in this article. This essay is focused and centralized on the subject of how she supports her postulate that the answer to this question is not only in…

Distractions are all around us, and often they can send our head spinning. But is there a possibility much like when a person gets paroxysmal positional vertigo, that all these distractions could throw us off the pathway leading to Christ? In our inner ear we have two labyrinths First the Static labyrinth, which consists of the utricle and Saccule. Second, we have the dynamic labyrinth which consists of three semicircular canals, in this section of our ear there are little hairs called…

The eardrum further vibrates the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. The stirrup vibrations cause the oval window to vibrate which causes the fluid in the cochlea to vibrate. The fluid bends the hair cells which then send signals to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain receives the signals and processes the information that allows people to hear sounds. All of the parts of the ear are held responsible for people to…
