Q

FM Units

A

The speaker wears a microphone and their speech is sent to the listener wirelessly, by a frequency modulating signal

Disadvantages: subject to interference, expensive, repairs, need to have correct channels in the classroom, speaker must remember to turn off the microphones when having private conversation.

Q

Residual Hearing

limiting hearing ability can assist in speech recognition when combined with visual cues.
Combining even some sound with visual cues shows why people with profound hearing loss are so dependent on hearing aids

30
Q

Implicit Conversational Rules

A

Attend to communication partner with interest
All people participate in exchange
Participants choose topic and play conversational role
Turn-taknig amongst conversational partners
Participants stay within topic and relevance
Share in the conversation
Be clear and succinct

31
Q

Message tailoring strategy

A

messages can be tailored to elicit a more desirable result

influence the message

32
Q

Constructive strategies

A

optimize the listening environment for communication

33
Q

Adaptive strategies

A

methods of counteracting maladaptive behaviors that stem from hearing loss
Inappropriate behavioral mechanism for coping with the difficulties caused by hearing loss
-relaxation, deep breaths

34
Q

Maladaptive strategies include

A

bluffing, social withdrawal, dominating conversations, self pity, hostility, anxiety

35
Q

Anticipatory strategies

A

method of preparing for communicating interaction
reading a book or synopsis before a movie, play
etc

36
Q

Two types of repair strategies

A

Receptive: used by listener when they have not understood the message
Expressive: used by the talker when their utterance is unintelligible and listener cannot understand it

37
Q

Expressive repair strategies

A
Understanding child reduced articulation and/or language skills
Repeating message using best speech
Rephrase
Slowing down speech rate
Using shorter sentences
etc
38
Q

Topic shading

A

when new emphasis is derived from an ongoing topic of conversation such that the topic remains the same but relevant details shift

39
Q

Nonspecific repair strategies

A

Use of “What? huh? “ are non-specific repair strategies

feature explicit instructions for clarifying the conversation

40
Q

Passive conversational style

A

avoids misunderstanding/ conflict

41
Q

Aggressive convo style

A

exhibits hostility or intimidating demeanor

42
Q

Passive aggressive conver style

A

manipulates conversation for later vengeance

43
Q

Assertive conve style

A

communicates effectively, finds solutions

44
Q

Interactive

A

use cooperative tactics, share responsibility for advancing conversation

45
Q

Noninteractive

A

features a passive conversational style

46
Q

Dominating

A

aggressive behavior, takes extended speaking turns, interrupts, dominates

47
Q

Infrared Systems

A

light waves. Transmitter sends signal encoded in infrared light rays to amplifier/receiver.

48
Q

Induction Loops

A

wire encompasses a designated area, converts sound into electric energy and into the loop. Energy is picked up by a telecoil

49
Q

Induction Loops (Adv. and Disadv.)

A

Adv: accessability, freedome of movement, inexpensive, telecoils are universal

Disadv: need a receiver, interference, may need to sit in designated area

50
Q

Wired Systems

A

connection by wire. Direct audio input or telecoil. can be expensive. mobility, consistent sound.

51
Q

Ambient Noise

A

noise present in unoccupied room

52
Q

Reverberation

A

echoes caused by sound bouncing off surfaces such as walls, floors and ceilings

53
Q

Background Noise

A

undesirable noise that masks the unwanted auditory signal

54
Q

Devices to help with environmental sounds (2)

A

Alerting devices (bed shaker, multi-modality alarms - e.g., doorbells = flashing lights)

Computer Based Technology (texting, video messaging)

55
Q

TTY (text telephone/telephone typewriter)

A

telephone in acoustic couplers

So the sender needs to type the message on a keyboard, the letters transformed into electronic pulses that are sent over the wire to the recipient TTY where the pulses are returned to letters on an LED screen

56
Q

most common complaint from people is that they can detect sound but can not __________, especially in the presence of __________ _______

understand

background noise

emphasizes recognition of individual speech sounds or syllables (e.g., words)

one must perceive each of the basic parts of speech before the whole can be identified

59
