Sensorineural hearing loss

Writing for me is a biological process. This is the best analogy I can think of for why and how I write. Initially there is the basic autonomic writing, that inhales like a thought and exhales like a note: “take out the trash” or “buy milk and butter”. Then there is the slightly more complicated procedure of writing that is intended to communicate with others. This becomes somatic rather than autonomic. It requires that your eyes respond to what you have seen, and your ears to what you have…

Introduction Therapeutic listening is a novel concept that also provides musical stimulation for increasing various skills, as described by Frick and Montez (2005): Therapeutic listening uses developmental and sensory integration frameworks, uses the organized sound patterns inherent in music, uses music that is electronically altered to elicit a specific response, focuses on postural organization and breath regulation (core), and provides a catalyst for eliciting emergent skills (p. 2).…

I want to start off by sharing that I am aware that active listening is essential to working out conflict. While it is a weakness for myself as I struggle with active listening. I am a person that likes to multi-task, while having conversations or watching television, I find myself unable to maintain focus. This is a negative behavior that I condone especially since a part of active listening “is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more…

My Relationship with my team was a relationship that I will never forget because it has taught me so much, that will be useful in my current and future relationships. In my relationship with my soccer team, each of our listening skills was appalling, which is really saying that we lacked in communication. Listening is taking up a sound and giving it a meaning (p.135). Listening is very important in a relationship. In my future and current relationships, I will improve my listening skills for a…

Weeeoooeee!! The sound of the ambulance in front of my house. Long ago when I was younger my brother, and I were riding our bikes, and Bam! Out of nowhere I was hit by a car. In the midst of it later found out my leg was broken, and when the doctors told my mother, I had no motivation to walk again. I failed myself by giving up hope that I would never be able to play sports, walk, or run again. Later on down the road my mother gave me the inspiration, and motivation to get on my feet and walk…

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…

A voice is an attribute that many people take for granted. A person’s voice can be large and loud or could be soft and small; but we all have a voice inside. All voices are important and fragile to an extent, but the most fragile is a child’s voice. Sometimes a voice is all a child has. Many things can affect a child’s voice, for the positive and for the negative. Negative influences and events can change or kill a child’s voice forever. Life altering events such as abuse, and neglect are…

Reflective Paper 2 I just started my practicum at a local high school. From my observation of how my site supervisor completed her work duties, I found that my supervisor was good at active listening and empathic understanding. She also told me the importance of listening and empathy in my future work. Therefore, I anticipate that active listening and empathy is the skill that I will use most frequently at my practicum site. Listening plays an essential role throughout the whole counseling…

The Human Hearing range is from 20Hz to 20kHz (20,000Hz). Hearing and sound plays a very important role in our lives. It allows us to communicate with each other. Music helps us express our feelings and share our cultures with the whole world. Sound allows us to hear, react to fear, and to hear different kinds of music. Sound is a form of energy, like light or heat (Seller, 3). Sound is produced by vibrating objects. When an object vibrates, the surrounding air moves back and forth as well.…

There are unique auditory processes that are very important to help the listener deal with simultaneous, often competing audio signals or sources such as competing speakers or musical instruments/instrumental sections within an orchestra. To be able to distinguish the individual sounds and more importantly, the individual superimposed vibrations travelling to the listener, the auditory system, and the architecturally designed environments, have specific methods that allow the listeners ears to…
