Exam 3 powerpoints Flashcards
what is a cochlear implant?
a surgically implanted electronic device that provides direct electrical stimulation to the auditory nerve.
What is a hearing aid?
an electronic device that amplifies sound
When is the ear fully developed?
at birth
Parts of ear
Outer, middle, inner, acoustic nerve, brains auditory processing center
Why does hearing loss occur?
- asphyxia
- bacterial meningitis
- congenital or perinatal infections
- defects of head and neck
- jaundice
- family history
- low birth weight-3 lbs or less
types of hearing loss
Conductive and Sensory hearing loss
Conductive hearing loss:
ear infection, outer and middle (mechanical energy)
ottis media chronic ear infections
sensory hearing loss:
inner ear and auditory nerve (electrical energy/impulses)
Symptoms of hearing loss
- reduced responses to environmental noises
- consistently setting radio loud
- enjoys rhythmic games but not uninterested in music
- immature speech language development
- social withdrawal or act out
- cant tell where sound is coming from
- difficulty following directions or requests despite listening attentively
Dangerous noise level:
anything at or above 110db for more than one minute poses risk for permanent hearing loss
Hearing loss educational approaches
1) oral instruction
2) total communication oral and sign
3) bilingual
ASL development
Children who learn ASL as a first language show patterns of development that are similar to those of children acquiring an oral language
ASL basic info
is learned as a first language by many deaf children and is a natural and rule-governed language
who qualifies for cochlear implants?
those:
- with profound loss in both ears
- who had limited benefit from hearing aids
- have no other medical problems that make surgery risky
phonological development sounds affected by hearing loss
1) High frequency sibilants
2) Less visible phonemes
3) Sounds at the ends of words
4) Prosody-lacks fluid co-articulation patterns
hearing loss: services depend on individual needs:
1) current age of child
2) age of onset of the hearing loss
3) age hearing loss discovered
4) severity of loss
5) type of hearing loss
6) age of amplification
7) communication mode child is using
hearing loss service types
- training in auditory perception
- using visual cues
- improving speech
- managing communication
- managing hearing aids and assistive listening devices
Accommodations for those with hearing loss:
- Preferential Seating-It is not always in the front of the room.
- Utilize pictures and visual prompts that reinforce language and content.
- Be sure speaker’s face is visible.
- May be appropriate to provide class notes with critical information.
strategies for auditory processing difficulties
attention, preview and review, fm system, flexible seating, time, orginizatonal strategies
whats the big thing with auditory processing?
background noise
What is intellectual disability
depressed general intellectual functioning with limitation in adaptive behaviors (IQ mild-50-70, moderate 35-50 profound below 20
cause of an ID intellectual disability
Cause of an intellectual disability (ID)
- ACQUIRED: head injury, FAS, etc.
- BIOLOGICAL: for severe ID, chromosomal
- CONCOMITANT DIAGNOSES: seizures, cerebral palsy, hearing & vision loss, ADHD=DON’T cause the ID but may complicate how it affects language development
williams syndrome
what: missing genetic material
strengths: outgoing, good eye contact and good auditory memory
difficulties: Modulating emotion, attending, increased sensitivity to sound, anxiety in unexpected change, and visuospatial difficulties. Difficulties with topic coherence. May have restricted & repetitive interests.
fragile x syndrome
males more than females
what: Repetition of chromosome pattern. (Instead of 6-45 repetitions there are 200 repetitions)
strength: have good receptive vocabulary
difficulties: articulation, language, fluency
