Essays on Hearing

There are many reasons for hearing loss during adulthood, a situation reflected in governmental data that approximately 2 - 3% of the population between 16 and 64 has hearing difficulty (United States Census Bureau, 2010; Skinner, 1993). Aging is just one factor within the hearing equation, so it is important that medical professionals acknowledge and address the effect of hearing loss in younger people. In particular, the disability addressed by this paper is hearing loss that occurs during the working years, thus excluding childhood and old age related hearing loss. Although hearing loss during any time of life has ...

Hearing is one of the most vital senses we have, and exclusive of it, life can never be the same. Individuals who are unable to hear will always have a problem to communicate effectively with the people around them. Conductive hearing loss is the most common hearing problem in children.

Therefore, sound cannot be efficiently passed through the outer ear to the middle ear. A child ...

Abstract

Education is an important part of any individual growth and development. It has been established in various literatures that it is best to engage as many senses as possible (e.g. vision, hearing, and even touch) in the process of learning for an individual to learn something faster. An educational program or teaching strategy that only uses one sense (i.e. vision as it is the one most commonly being used) is often perceived as a less effective way of learning compared to those that utilize all three senses that may practically be used for learning. Sensual impairments may well lead ...

Introduction

Hearing loss is more than a medical condition. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of environmental factors on the psycho-social development of deaf children. These studies reveal that the degree of hearing loss, additional handicap and age at the onset of deafness have a negative relation to psychosocial adjustment of students. However, there has been a positive relation between psychosocial variables and other independent variables like use of hearing, speech, intelligibility, academic achievement and communication methods at school. The findings of this study suggest that, it is not only deafness but environmental factors are also influential on the psychosocial ...

In everyday life, in trains, buses and in the streets, we can often see the deaf people. They always attract the attention of the public: people strenuously pretending that they have absolutely no interest, yet are secretly watching deaf. What do at that moment people with disabilities to communicate feel? Is it difficult? How is it to live life not hearing a word? What a person feels, whose life lies within his inner world? For a deaf person the world around is perceived in another way. For example, if parents teach a deaf child to talk, to do it, ...

In fact, the core principle of the criminal justice system holds that disputes are most effectively resolved when the parties in contention are made responsible for: (1) investigating and gathering their own evidence and (2) presenting their own arguments to a neutral and passive lay decision-maker who decides which party presented the most convincing argument (Kadri, 2005). Furthermore, the entire process is subject to ...

The inner ear consists of a membranous “labyrinth” encased in an occeous labyrinth. The vestibule and semicircular canal are concerned with vestibular function (balance); cochlea is concerned with hearing. The cochlea is a coiled tube. The cochlea coils up from its base. It is coiled around the modiolus. The Reissner’s membrane and the basilar membrane divide the cochlea longitudinally into three scalae. If you cut the cochlear tube cross sectionally, you’d see Scala vestibuli on top, scala tympani on the bottom. Scala media is a triangular duct in the middle. The side of the duct where the ...

Abstract

This research paper discusses adapting the learning environment for children with disabilities, first defining that learning environment and suggesting the disabilities that might be encountered.

It became apparent that a comprehensive plan is required, to achieve the goal of giving disabled children exactly the same learning opportunities as their peers. ...

However, there are other themes and meanings which are explored in the play. The induction scene is an important part of this play because it shows how important different senses, particularly sight, are to humans. The induction scene begins ...

Sensory Perception

The Nervous system plays an important role in many mammals including man. The nervous system is responsible for the coordination of different stimuli in the body.

A minute change or deficiency in these senses could lead to fatality. A failure in perception of any of the senses makes an individual dependent. Sensory perception is essential for all living organisms and forms the basis for homeostasis. A series of ...

Describe the factors to consider when promoting effective communication.

Effective communication takes listening skills. The Manila Bulletin (2010) explains how active listening means getting into the head of who is talking. This means trying to understand his or her point of view about what is being said.

Then it is possible to analyze the information so it is interpreted correctly. Other parts of communication, according to Craig ( ...
