He now learns the written form of the language. During this phase the emphasis is on the mastery of reading and writing. At the near end of this phase, an eight-year-old has a command of about 80% of the grammar and 17,000 words at their disposal.
Children with a hearing loss in one ear may fall behind their peers with normal hearing during the first two stages of language development. When these children reach school age their behaviors may be taken to mean they are disinterested or not academically inclined, when in reality they are suffer a physical, not a mental disability.

If 5% (one in twenty) of children suffer from a hearing loss in one ear one can only image the number of children who are misdiagnosed, mislabeled or simply fall through the cracks. Depending on class size, statistically a teacher can expect at least one student who suffers from…...

hearing loss Reflection / Feedback Log #1
Children with Deafness and Hearing Loss:

While working with children who experience difficulty in hearing, I have learned that they are essentially children who do not have a capacity to hear 25 decibel or better in both ears. It is important to note the difficulties that such children with deafness or hearing difficulty of encounter in their everyday life. The severity of the condition can range from mild to acute. The closeness and interaction with such children has shown that their condition needs to be ascertained by a specialist and then they need to be trained in specific learning techniques. The special needs for such children needs to be understood as they tend to fail to communicate with their peers in class.

Among adults, hearing loss can be hereditary or acquired from aging related illnesses. esearch has shown that loss of hearing among adults may occur as a result of ototoxic drugs, tumors, accidental head injuries and natural occurring aging process. The hearing loss may be through absolute numbness in the years or through ringing in the years ("Tinnitus"). Loss of hearing is through damage to the inner ear, ear infection, buildup of earwax, or a ruptured eardrum.

hearing loss in Children
It is well within our knowledge that hearing is vital to speech as well as language growth, communication, along with education. Those children who suffer from listening complexity owing to hearing loss or acoustic dispensation tribulations have persistently been under acknowledged as well as underserved population. It is clear that when a hearing problem occurs in the child during his early stage, it tend to develop more and more within the child. It is therefore advisable that the moment you realize that a child has such complication the better you start taking care of it to lessen the impact. It has always been easier said than done to categorize children with this complication of meek hearing loss minus taking the children through hearing screening programmed. This is for the reason that they more often than not contain whichever precise substantial indications or findings. On the other…...

occupationally-acquired noise-induced hearing loss: A senseless workplace hazard highlights the risks associated with excess noise in the workplace. The authors are writing in a journal that is dedicated to environmental health in the workplace. The authors note that noise is a causal factor in around 37% of all adult hearing loss. The authors conducted a survey of the existing literature on the subject in order to summarize the existing knowledge the tie some of the work together to form conclusions.
The findings were interesting. Excessive noise in the workplace is attributed mainly to a handful of industries, such as mining, construction and manufacturing, and as a result 97% of workers affected are male. The authors have also noted that responses from different workplace safety agencies around the world can differ fairly dramatically, and there remains some lack of understanding about the issue of excessive noise in the workplace.

causes of hearing loss and reduction in people of all ages. Many people think of hearing loss as being either something a person is born with or something he or she experiences with old age, but those are far from the only factors that can result in hearing impairment. Whether the person is completely deaf or only has trouble hearing, there are a variety of causes that must be considered and ruled out before a definite determination as to the exact cause of the impairment can be made. Additionally, there are several treatments to be considered. Which one of these is best for the person with the hearing impairment will depend on the cause of that impairment and other factors. Not every option will work for every patient, and doctors must consider numerous issues before making a decision regarding which type of treatment may be the right choice. There…...

Loud Music
One of the most common causes of hearing loss is noise while hearing loss is regarded as one of the most common occupational illnesses in America. Noise plays a crucial factor in hearing loss because of its prevalence and people's vulnerability to exposure to noisy environments. Exposures to a single shot from a large caliber firearm can instantly result in permanent hearing loss whereas repeated exposures to loud machinery or music over a long period of time poses serious risks to human hearing (Fligor par, 1). Noise is a major cause of hearing loss because people tend to overlook or underestimate its impact as it continues to damage human hearing gradually.

In the past few years, one of the greatest contributors to hearing loss is loud music. Actually, many people are agreeing that listening to loud music for over an extended period of times can cause hearing loss. Moreover, the…...

However, these units require more precision and need a professional to cast and fit them individually (Tierney, 2011).
IC, or receiver in canal, models are a newer development in hearing aid technology and are more suitable for those with mid-severe hearing loss. When compared to a classic behind the ear hearing aid, the receiver of the IC (the actual loudspeaker) is place on the ear-tip instead of in the housing, which drastically reduces the size of the unit. The IC model actually has three parts: the housing that sits behind the ear (1); a thin wire that connects the housing to the receiver (2), and the receiver that goes directly into the ear canal (3). Despite its size, the IC model is very discreet and automatic (Dillon, 2012).

IC's are similar to Behind the Ear devices but house the speaker in the ear by replacing the tube and a flexible piece…...

If an underlying condition is the cause of the loss, then the logical procedure would be to treat the underlying cause. In some cases the sense of smell may return and for others the loss will be permanent.
Research supports the existence of changes in smell due to age. The causes of this loss are varied. There has not been considerable research into searching for a treatment as with other sensory declines. Loss of out sense of smell is not considered to be of greater consequence in our society. ith the rare exception of those whose careers depend on it, there is little societal impact caused by a loss of sense of smell. For the person, they may not enjoy all of the things that they used to, but it does not carry any significant impairment with it.

There has been no formal effort dedicated towards research to restore the sense…...

Teaching Children with Hearing Difficulties: Evidenced-Based Practice Early evaluation and detection for hearing difficulties forms the basis for timely intervention. This text emphasizes the need for early intervention as a way of maximizing the linguistic competence and literacy development of children with hearing difficulties. It covers the JCIH position statement and uses research evidence to demonstrate how early audiological intervention could help promote academic outcomes for children with hearing difficulties.
Reaction to the JCIH 2007 Position Statement
The JCIH position statement advocates for early evaluation and diagnosis of auditory problems for children with hearing loss. Early hearing loss detection and intervention helps to maximize the literacy development and linguistic competence of children with hearing difficulties, thus helping to enhance their academic and social outcomes. Studies have, in fact, shown that children whose hearing problems are diagnosed early (before 2 months of age) and intervention initiated have better functional, language, and speech outcomes than…...

Public health issues have been a concern for society since the dawn of civilization. Current issues focus on driver safety and certain precautions taken to ensure less accidents on the road. One thing that has gained some traction is the possible universal requirement for hearing tests for all driver's licenses. The CDL or commercial driver's permit and license requires a hearing test. The non-commercial permit and licensing does not.
Of the possible tests to determine adequate hearing in order to drive safely, two are most implemented which are audiometry and the forced whisper test. In the whisper test, drivers must be at least five feet from the examiner with the driver's ear being examined turned in the direction of the examiner. The other ear has to be covered. Then the examiner has to whisper random number or words with the individual then attempting to identify the words. Failure in the forced…...
