Primary auditory cortex

Problem Set 7.1 a) Null Hypothesis: Within the 95% confidence interval there is no significant difference between the two-point threshold test disdances among the different areas. Alternate Hypothesis: Within the 95% confidence interval there is a significant difference between the two-point threshold test disdances among the different areas. b) The null hypothesis should be rejected because the p-value is 0 which is lower than 0.05, also because the conifence intervals for the back of the hand…

To me, being a peak performer is making sure that you do and learn whatever possible to make sure that you succeed in whatever you want to accomplish in life. When trying to accomplish a goal, you will encounter many obstacles and the way you deal with the situation will determine if you are a peak performer or not. Choosing to just simply give up when things becoming challenging is not a characteristic of a peak performer. As stated by Bethel University (2013, page 6),"They are not perfect or…

In my opinion, what it means to be a peak performer is to be a real go- getter. Being a peak performer is taking on life as if it were a game that could be mastered and conquered. I have learned that there are many qualities of being a peak performer, and those qualities we must learn as humans to become a peak perform. Peak performers are lifelong learners that have developed the appropriate attitude to become successful in life (Bethel University, 2013). Peak performers are people who are…

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…

Extra Credit The field of audiology has a high population of older adults. As a Communication Disorders major, Audiology is one of the career options one could choose to follow. I have been debating the option of becoming an Audiologist and this is why I chose to interview my audiology professor. Dr. Grijalva graduated with her Audiology doctorate three years ago, which means she is up to date with the current procedures to become an Audiologist. To become an audiologist you need to first get…

. 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…

improve the hearing implant process.

Did you know that ear buds can infect your hearing? Well, it isn’t the ear bud, it is the volume, most scientists say. You are supposed to have the volume turned low, or medium. Scientists say that the earbuds, and headphones aren’t the problem. It is the volume, it is tempting to turn it higher when you are on a train, or someplace where people are talking really loud. Some people lost their hearing, because of the volume of their music. Earphones can be good for blocking out background sound.…

Otitis Media: Effects on Language Development and Educational Success Introduction Otitis media, commonly called an ear infection, is an inflammation of the middle ear. This can occur as acute otitis media (AOM) or otitis media with effusion (OME). These infections are “caused by bacteria and often begin after a child has a sore throat, cold, or other upper respiratory infection…Because of the infection, fluid builds up behind the eardrum” (Ear Infections in Children, 2014). “Fluid may build up…

Hearing is a complex process where thousands of tiny hair cells, located in the cochlea of the ear, convert vibrations of sound waves into electrical nerve pulses. These pulses are understood by the brain to be what a person hears as sound. Hearing loss can occur throughout any part of the ear, and in varying degrees of severity. As hearing loss can affect a child’s ability to develop speech, language, and social skills, it is important to identify any signs and symptoms early in the child’s…
