Unilateral hearing loss

How many times have you been talking with someone and they act like they were not listening to you? I can say that this has happened to me quite a lot. The person I was talking to seem uninteresting in what I was saying or seemed like they were disengaged. Do you remember how it made you feel? I can say that it made me feel confused and even angry. That’s why active listening is very important to our clients as social workers. It’s important because it helps build a trusting relationship with…

This week’s readings informed me on many things I tend to overlook on a daily basis. Davidson’s “listening continuum” and Rosh’s case on establishing authenticity as a leader were the two articles that stood out to me the most. After reading the articles, I gained a better sense of what type of person I am, and what type of person I strive to be. I have always thought that I had strong listening skills, however after reading Davidson’s article, I might have to rethink whether I am a good…

Research has shown that MCT improves vocal quality immediately after treatment and in the short- term, with individuals with MTD. Improvements in vocal quality include: jitter, shimmer, signal to noise ratio, and reduced intensity (Mathieson et al., 2009; Reimann et al., 2016; Roy & Leeper, 1993; Roy et al., 1997; Van Lierde et al., 2004; Van Lierde et al., 2008).

for it’s painless. You may hear a slight buzzing noise in your ears or other foreign sounds that individuals refer to as astral static.

Starting the Separation Process - Now for the fun part. Your first couple of times you will fail. Most beginners don’t realize just how intense it can feel. Fear combined with not knowing what to…

much more equivocation about the kind of 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…

worry, you're not the only one. Auditory processing is a disorder referring to how the central nervous system uses or interprets auditory information. When I was 6 years old and in first grade my parents put me through multiple tests at Rochester Hearing and Speech, I was officially diagnosed with auditory processing. Not long after that, I was also diagnosed with ADD. After this, I shortly learned that school wasn't going to be an easy journey. Grade school was my true definition of an…

Gray sitting at a large lunch table alone. It was more unusual that anyone would notice him at all, what with him darting from class to class as soon as the bell rang, hoping to avoid getting caught up in the crowd of high schoolers. Sterling was hearing impaired you see, deaf in one ear and barely able to hear in the other. He had been that way since the sickness almost caused him death as a small child. Most people always saw him wearing headphones, so they assumed he was mute for only that…

Most people confuse listening with hearing. It is possible to hear something without listening to them. Listening, as Keys to Success states, “is a process that starts with hearing but also includes focused thinking about what you hear.” Active listening “requires you to understand, interpret, and evaluate what you are being told” as stated in The Art of Active Listening, a book by Flynn Walker and Josh Gibson. In order to be a better listener we need to learn how to overcome the obstacles…
