Q

why are parents great intuitive teachers

A

name items for infants and praise infants when they repeat our words.
Parents name the object and speak clearly and slowly, often using baby talk to capture the infant’s interest

ex: arents typically name each object when they talk to their child, “Here is your bottle”, “There is your foot”, “You want your juice?”

language spirt that happens around 18 mos when vocab reaches 50 words and builds rapidly to 50-100 words/month

88
Q

By about _____ years of age, children have the ability to produce more complex sentences (four or more words per sentence).

what are grammatical morphemes

A

words or endings of words that make sentences more grammatical

90
Q

give an example of sentences bw a 1 1/2 yr old vs a 3 yr old

A

A 1 ½-year-old might say “kick ball” but a 3-year-old would be more likely to say “I am kicking the ball”

91
Q

what is the rate of a child’s vocab development influenced by

A

the amount of talk they are exposed to

the more speech that is addressed to a toddler, the more rapidly the toddler will learn new words

92
Q

what are early errors in language

A

underextension
overextension
overregularization

93
Q

what is underextension and an example

A

using a word too narrowly

ex: using cat only to refer to the family cat or ball to refer only to their favorite toy ball

94
Q

what is overextension and an ex

A

using a word in broader context than appropriate; the child uses the new word and applies to group of similar experiences

common bw 1-3 yrs

more common than underextension

A child might use the word “dog” to refer to all four-legged animals, including cats, cows, and horses.
A child might call all men “daddy” or all women “mommy.”

95
Q

what is overregularization and ex

A

speech errors where they treat regular forms of words as if they were regular

leads children to talk about foots, tooths, sleeps, sheeps, mouses

ex: he goed, I catched it

96
Q

is overregularization a good thing

A

yes, sign of verbal sophisticaton becuase it shows children are applying the rules to grammar

part of learning the language because they are paying attention

97
Q

necessary for newborns to develop the ability to prefer their mother’s voice over other voices

A

extensive auditory experience

98
Q

The infant auditory system must be ______ to various acoustic discriminations before making early distinctions.

A

preadapted

99
Q

Infants and children with hearing loss undergo the same stages of auditory development as those with normal hearing, but their learning about sound is likely limited by their impairment

A

true

100
Q

what is incidental learning? what % learn from this?

A

unintentional or passive acquisition of knowledge, often occurring through everyday experiences and interactions
90% of what normal hearing individuals learn is from overhearing conversations & only 10% from direct instruction

101
Q

what are incidental experiences newborns experienc

A

hearing their moms voice and other environmental sounds

102
Q

Infants and children with hearing loss may have limited opportunities for incidental learning due to their reduced ability to hear environmental sounds, affecting their overall auditory development

A

true

103
Q

what is absolute sensitivity

A

ability todetect sound in quiet

104
Q

what frequencies mature more rapidly for absolute sensitivity

A

HF than LF

105
Q

when does absolute sensitivity reach adult like

A

10 yrs old

106
Q

what is frequency resolution

A

ability of AS to distinguish bw different frequencies or pitches of sound

107
Q

what is spectral representation of sound look like in 6 mos old

A

adult like in frequency resolution at all frequencies

108
Q

what is spectral representation of sound look like in 3 mos old

A

mature frequency resolution at 500 and 1000 Hz but poorer than adults and older infants at 4000 Hz

109
Q

what is the development of intensity discrimination of sounds

A

6 mos - range from 12 dB ot 4dB change in intensity
Ex: they would have to be 10 and 22
12 mos - 3dB
6 yrs - 1 to 2 dB
Adults - 1 dB

110
Q

when are complex pitch close to adults

A

7 mos

111
Q

what is temporal resolution

A

ability to hear changes in sound over time

112

what is gap detection maturing for temporal resolution

A

Adults can detect as short as 3 ms in some conditions
By 6 yrs, gap matures
Infants </= 12 mos - do not detect gaps shorter than about 30 ms
Preschool - gap threshold in 2000 Hz is about 12 ms

113
Q

two sounds come from the same side but they are coming from different locations
can children tell the two apart

A

children do not do this well until they are coming from further apart differences

114
Q

Localization abilities depends on head and ear size and changes with age

A

true

115
Q

Infants and young children are as good as adults at identifying spatial location of a sound

A

false

116
Q

what is used for sound localization and spatial haering development

A

ITD & ILD differences & by reference of the shape of a sound’s amplitude spectrum that is altered by the external ear are used for sound localization

Children learn new words and their meanings within the context of daily activities and routines.
Interactions help children understand non-verbal cues, such as facial expressions and body language.
Telling and listening to stories enhances children’s ability to understand and construct narratives.

134
Q

how would you use this information to counsel parents of a child with a hearing impairment.

Teach parents to use sign language, gestures, and visual aids to reinforce spoken language.
Enhances understanding and communication, providing alternative ways for the child to learn and use language.
Instruct parents on the importance of responding to their child’s attempts to communicate, whether through sounds, gestures, or expressions.
Validates the child’s efforts and encourages further communication attempts.
Guide parents to seek early intervention services, including speech therapy and audiology support, as soon as a hearing impairment is identified.
Provides professional support tailored to the child’s specific needs, optimizing their language development outcomes.
Recommend programs and resources that teach parents effective strategies for supporting their child’s language development.
Discuss the importance of consistent use of hearing aids or cochlear implants if prescribed, and ensure they are properly fitted and maintained.

Singing songs, reciting nursery rhymes, and engaging in rhythmic activities.
Develops phonological awareness and helps children recognize patterns in language.

Surrounding the child with diverse language experiences, such as conversations, books, music, and social interactions with peers and adults.

Consistently naming objects, actions, and emotions during daily interactions and providing detailed descriptions.
Builds vocabulary and helps children make connections between words and their meanings.

141
Q

how would you use this information to counsel parents of a child with a hearing impairment.

A

Emphasize the Importance of Early Intervention:
Action: Highlight the need for early detection and use of hearing aids or cochlear implants if recommended.
Purpose: Ensure that the child has access to auditory information during critical periods of language development.
2. Adapt Infant-Directed Speech:
Action: Use clear, slow, and exaggerated speech patterns while ensuring visual cues are prominent (e.g., facial expressions, lip movements).
Purpose: Enhance the child’s ability to understand speech through both auditory and visual inputs.
3. Foster Visual Communication:
Action: Incorporate sign language, gestures, and visual aids (like pictures and written words) to support language development

142
Q

limitations normal-hearing children face in complex environments and the implications for children with hearing loss.

A

Preschool and school-age children need higher SNR than adults to achieve similar levels of performance on speech recognition tests in presence of noise or speech maskers
Infants could recognize their name embedded in a background of competing speech but needed a higher SNR to do so, relative to adults
child w/ HL they naturally require higher SNR and now with HL, it is even worse

Babbling is similar of normal hearing infants until the age of 6 months - less/decrease in babbling as they grow

A

true
deaf babies

176
Q

Explain to parents, in general terms, how hearing loss can affect their child’s ability to communicate, learn, and interact with others

A

HL impacts speech, laguage, cognitive and psychosocial development
it affects vocab, sentence structure and speaking

Those with HL have issues in all areas of academics especially in reading and math

mild to mod HL achieve 1-4 grade levels lower than age matched peers (mild can miss up to 40% of class discussions); they feel isolated and unhappy becuase they are different and can not identify with normal hearing peers or with those that have hearing loss

severe to profound achieve no higher than 3-4th grade without appropriate educational intervention early; report isolation, no friends and unhappy i school because they feel left out or different and happens when they have limited socialization with other children with HL

177
Q

what is minimal hearing loss in newborns

A

Normal 10-15
minimal/slight 15-25
Mild - 26-40

178
Q

why are parameters different in infants than adults

A

they already have their s/l development but children have not so the loss really matters

179
Q

Unilateral HL

A

PTA (.5, 1, 2 kHz) is >/= 20 dB HL with no more than dB ABG at 1, 2, & 4 kHz in the impaired ear & AC thresholds are 15 dB or better in the other ear
Bilateral SNHL: average AC thresholds are bw 20-40 dB HL and average ABG is </= 10 dB at 1, 2, & 4 kHz bilaterally

180
Q

Bilateral SNHL

A

average AC thresholds are bw 20-40 dB HL and average ABG is </= 10 dB at 1, 2, & 4 kHz bilaterally

181
Q

HF SNHL

A

AC thresholds > 25 dB HL at 2 or more frequencies above 2 kHz with no more than 10 dB ABGs at 3 and 4 kHz, can be unilateral or bilateral

182
Q

Minimal HL prevalence increases at school age from

A

.03% to around 1-14%

183
Q

Why is there such a large discrepancy in prevalence rates of minimal hearing loss from birth to school-aged children?

A

they do school screenings
could miss 60% of case with slight/minimal HL because we screen at 20/25dB because of the cut off

184
Q

Why is identifying minimal HL in newborns difficult?

A

OAE & ABR technology cannot differentiate normal and mild HL at this time

Some loss configurations can result in ABR & OAE screening results to not be able to be differentiated from normal hearing ears

Pass/Fail criteria provided by manufacturers to decide if something is good or bad might not be good enough and cant always trust these rules to tell us if a product is actually up to standard or if the automated systems checking these rules are doing a good job. Sometimes, more thorough checks are needed to make sure everything is really working as it should.

185
Q

Explain to parents, in general terms, how minimal hearing loss might affect their child’s daily listening and communication experiences

A

50% of children either repeat a grade or need resource support in school
Compared to hearing peers, HL more likely to have behavioral and linguistic difficulties
Children with minimal SNHL experienced more difficulty than NH children on a series of educational and functional test measures.
31% w/ minimal SNHL failed at least one grade
Children have a more critical need for hearing during their developmental and school years than do adults for understanding day speech - need higher SNRs

186
Q

How can a 15dB hearing loss result in language delays?

A

A lot of speech energy is in the voiced vowels and consonants
Unvoiced consonants (s, p, t, k, th, f, sh) contain little speech energy so they fall below even normal hearing thresholds in average rapid converstions

187
Q

Describe how to position infants and young children for otoscopy.

A

Under 3 yrs
Child sits on parents lap, parent comfort holds the side of the head against their chest

Over 3 yrs
Invite them to play with the otoscope
Show them how it works & explain why they need to stay still and how
Attach largest speculum the ear accommodates

188
Q

how do you choose a speculum size

A

select size based on external eare, slightly smaller in diameter to insert into the canal and provides max lumen for visualization
pick the largest tip you can fit into the child’s ear in order to get the best view of the ear canal

189

Clear enough to allow the insertion of an admittance probe tip
Free from excessive cerumen
Free from other obstructions such as PE tubes that have been extruded from the tympanic membrane
Not draining excessively so as to plug the probe

192

194
Q

what is a case history

A

planned professional conversation enabling PT to communicate symptoms, feelings and fear to the clinican to obtain insight into the nature of the PTs illness and their attitude towards them

195
Q

Obtaining a case history enables the audiologist to

A

learn about the child and to understand the parents’ concerns and assessment expectations.

also facilitates the development of a rapport between the audiologist and the family that will be invaluable when counseling about test results

196
Q

Identify reasons for taking a case history. Importance of a case history

A

may reduce the quantity and quality of data obtained from the evaluation and diminishes the role of both the assessment and the audiologist to a technical one rather than a professional and diagnostic one.
Accurate diagnosis of hearing loss relies on interpretation of a test battery within the context of the child‘s medical and/or developmental history.
Understanding the Child: Provides essential information about the child’s development and health, offering insights into their cognitive and developmental status and helping estimate their auditory skills.
Understanding the Family: Enables the audiologist to understand the parents’ concerns, needs, and assessment expectations, and helps build rapport with family and caregivers, which is crucial for effective counseling.
Observational Opportunities: Allows the audiologist to observe the child’s behavior and note interactions with family members and others.
Guidance for Assessment: Informs the audiologist about the nature of auditory complaints (e.g., unilateral/bilateral, acute/chronic), assists in formulating clinical testing strategies, and highlights possible contributing factors to hearing disorders.
A good case history is a valuable tool and an often-overlooked part of an audiologic evaluation.
Failure to obtain sufficient history information may reduce the quantity and quality of data obtained from the evaluation and diminishes the role of both the assessment and the audiologist to a technical one rather than a professional and diagnostic one.
Accurate diagnosis of hearing loss relies on interpretation of a test battery within the context of the child‘s medical and/or developmental history.

197
Q

Key differences in case history between pediatric and adult patients.

A

peds
-Emphasizes developmental milestones - motor skills, language acquisition & social development
-Asking about prenatal and birth hx
Provided by parents/guardians & accuracy depends on their observations and knowledge of the child’s history
-Family hx looking for hereditary factors; social hx including child’s environment, school performance and interactions w/ peers
-Behavioral issues and emotional development; focus on conditions like ADHD, autism, anxiety disorders etc.

adults
-Focuses on PT’s medical hx, lifestyle factors, chronic conditions
-PT usually provides the information directly allowing firsthand reporting of symptoms and concerns
-Family hx is important; social hx includes lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol use, occupation and living situation
-Behavioral and emotional health - focus on mental health conditions like depression or anxiety in the context of life stressors
