Q

to be interupted
told to slow down and take a breath
be told to spit it out

29
Q

Evaluation of suspected speech and language difficulties in children

  • failure to babble by 12 mos
  • lack of conventional gestures be 1 year age
  • no spoken words by 18 months of age
  • any signs of regression
30
Q

Hearing impairment

A

need to exposed to language to learn one. If certain conditions limit the exposure to language, language development may be severely hindered.

31

A

at birth

32
Q

Sections of the ear

A
outer ear
middle ear
inner ear
acoustic nerve
Brians auditory processing center
33
Q

A

asphyxia, bacterial meningitis, congenital or perinatal infections, defects of head and neck, jaundice, family history, low birth weight

34
Q

types of hearing loss

A

conductive and Sensory hearing loss

35
Q

Conductive Hearing Loss

A

*

36
Q

Sensory hearing Loss

A

*

37
Q

Symptoms of hearing loss in children

A
  • not responding to a parent’s voice at normal speaking level
  • absent startle response to loud sounds (with some types of hearing loss, however, loud sounds are amplified, even painful and the child does startle
  • inability to localize the source (tell where a sound is coming from)
  • difficulty following instructions or requests, despite appearing to listen attentively
  • reduced or absent responses to environmental noises
  • consistently setting volume at an unusually high level
  • enjoyment of rhythmic clapping games while appearing uninterested in music
  • immature speech-language development
  • social withdrawal
  • fatigue, frustration, and acting out
38
Q

dangerous noise levels

A

sound levels at 110dB for more than 1 minute creates risk for permanent hearing loss

71-90dB severe hearing loss
91 + profound hearing loss
40

Q

hearing aid:

42
Q

cochlear implant candidates

A

usually severe to profound loss in both ears, have had limited benefit form hearing aids, have no other medical problems that would make the surgery risky

43
Q

hearing loss phonological development

A

sounds affected-
high frequency sibilants, less visible phonemes, sounds at the ends of words, prosody-lacks fluid co-articulation patterns
