Question 8

Which of the follow does NOT impact mild HL
- Impact on communication, Language & educational achievements
- Voiceless consonant, voiceless stop and fricatives may be missed
- omission and distortion of consonants
- Inattention & classroom behavior problems
- Mild Language Delay

Answer 8

omission and distortion of consonants is NOT a mild HL

omission and distortion of consonants is a factor in Moderate HL

Question 9

Which of the follow does NOT impact Moderate HL
- Vowels are heard better than consonants & words ending (s, ed) are difficult to hear
- Language and speech do not develop spontaneously
- Reduced auditory can lead to confusion
- Behavioral Problems, in attention, language delay, speech problem and learning problems

Answer 9

Language and speech do not develop spontaneously is NOT MODERATE HL

Language & speech do not develop spontaneously is SEVERE HL

Question 10

Which of the follow does NOT impact Severe HL
- Language and speech do not develop spontaneously
- Omission & distortion of consonants
- significant language speech and associated educational problems

Answer 10

Omission & distortion consonants is NOT severe- moderarte HL

Severe HL Cannon hear typical sounds or normal conversation; can hear distorted self- vocalization very loud environmental sounds and only the more intense speech at close range.

Question 11

Which of the follow does NOT impact Profound HL
- Severe Language delay & speech problems
- Cannot hear or understand sounds
- Can hear distorted self vocalization
- Issues with voice, articulation, resonance and prosody

Answer 11

Can hear distorted self vocalization - NOT PROFOUND - severe HL

Can hear distorted self vocalization = severe HL

When it comes to communication HL could affect your child’s Vocabulary, Sentence structure and speaking/vocalization.

Question 14

Hearing loss can affect your child’s Academic Achievement:

Answer 14

• difficulty with all areas of academic achievement, especially reading and mathematical concepts.
• mild to moderate hearing losses, on average, achieve one to four grade levels lower than their peers with normal hearing, unless appropriate management occurs.
• severe to profound hearing loss usually achieve skills no higher than the third- or fourth-grade level, unless appropriate educational intervention occurs early.
• The gap in academic achievement between children with normal hearing and those with hearing loss usually widens as they progress through school.

Question 15

Academic Achievement:
mild to moderate hearing losses, on average, achieve

Answer 15

mild to moderate hearing losses, on average, achieve one to four grade levels lower than their peers with normal hearing, unless appropriate management occurs.

Question 16

Academic Achievement:
severe to profound hearing loss usually achieve skills

Answer 16

• severe to profound hearing loss usually achieve skills no higher than the third- or fourth-grade level, unless appropriate educational intervention occurs early.

Question 17

True or False

The gap in academic achievement between children with normal hearing and those with hearing loss usually lessens as they progress through school.

Answer 17

FALSE
The gap in academic achievement between children with normal hearing and those with hearing loss usually WIDENS as they progress through school.

Question 18

Hearing loss can affect your child socially ….

Answer 18

Socially Children with hearing loss have …..
with severe to profound hearing losses often report feeling isolated, without friends, and unhappy in school, particularly when their socialization with other children with hearing loss is limited.

These social problems appear to be more frequent in children with a mild or moderate hearing losses than in those with a severe to profound loss.

Question 19

severe to profound hearing losses often report __________, __________ ________ and __________ ___ _______ particularly when their socialization with other children with hearing loss is limited.

Answer 19

with severe to profound hearing losses often report feeling isolated, without friends, and unhappy in school, particularly when their socialization with other children with hearing loss is limited.

These social problems appear to be more frequent in children with a mild or moderate hearing losses than in those with a severe to profound loss.

Question 20

True or False
OAEs and ABR technologies do not reliably distinguish between normal and mild hearing loss.

Answer 20

TRUE

Hearing screening programs do not target minimal and mild degrees of hearing loss, these children are not likely to be referred for diagnostic evaluations.

Question 21

True or False
Children with minimal SNHL have the same experience as NH children on a series of educational and functional test measures.

Answer 21

FALSE
Children with minimal SNHL experienced more difficulty than NH children on a series of educational and functional test measures.

Question 22

Why may a 15 dB hearing loss result in language delay?

Answer 22

Major amount of speech energy resides in the voiced vowels and consonants.

The unvoiced consonants /s, p, t, k, th, f, sh/ contain so little speech energy that they often fall below evetn normal hearing thresholds in an average rapid conversation.

Question 23

Name Mild HL effects

Answer 23

• Communication, language learning, and educational achievement are affected.
• Vowel sounds are heard clearly but voiceless consonants may be missed.
• less intense speech sounds (such as voiceless stops and fricatives) are inaudible.
• auditory learning dysfunction may result in inattention, classroom behavior problems and possible mild language delay and speech problems.

Question 24

Moderate HL effects

Answer 24

• ; vowels are heard better than consonants.
• word endings (-s, -ed) are particularly difficult to hear.
• Reduced auditory cues can lead to confusion
• omission and distortion of consonants
• behavioral problems, inattention, language delay, speech problems, and learning problems.

Question 25

Severe Hl effects

Answer 25

• Language and speech do not develop spontaneously without intervention.
• Cannot hear typical sounds or normal conversation
• can hear distorted self-vocalization, very loud environmental sounds
  -Significant language problems speech problems and associated educational problems.

Question 26

Profound HL effect

Answer 26

• Severe language delays, speech problems, and potential learning dysfunction without intervention. I
• Cannot hear or understand sounds; amplification is critical.
• issues with voice, articulation, resonance, and prosody. Vocal pitch may be higher, with a monotone quality due to lack of intonation and stress.
