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 major ...

Hearing impairment is a disability that involves the diminished or missing capacity for hearing in an individual. Partial and full deafness can cause substantial problems in learning, due to the lack of visual cues and an inability for teachers to adapt their curriculum to individuals with hearing disabilities. In today's world, the need for an education, particularly up to a college degree, is absolutely imperative to gaining stable employment, making it vital for citizens, regardless of disability, to have the chance to gain that education (Boutin, 2008). In this paper, the nature of hearing impairment will be detailed, as well as ...

Abstract

It is held that women react faster to hearing than men. Evidence also existed that suggested that hearing loss that was related to age differed between women and men. While men are said to be more likely to suffer hearing loss than women. When it comes to environmental factors, women on the other hand are more likely to suffer hearing loss than men as a result of advanced age. Studies have been conducted to show that there exist differences in hearing as far as sound ranges were concerned. This theory was, therefore, attributable to hormonal differences between women and men. ...

Introduction

“Cochlear implants are electronic devices that contain a current source and an electrode array that is implanted into the cochlea” (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2004) and where electrical current is used for stimulating the surviving auditory nerve fibers. With the development of the cochlear implant having undergone a long history, this paper aims to discuss this history, focusing particularly on the evolution of the cochlear implant over the last thirty years. In addition, this paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the implant, as well as the public’s response to its development and use.

Early Beginnings of the Cochlear Implant

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. This type of hearing problem begins in childhood, even though it can show up at any age. The hearing problem occurs when the sound transmission through the middle ear is blocked (Haberman, 2004). Therefore, sound cannot be efficiently passed through the outer ear to the middle ear. A child with ...

The Hearing Process and Presbycusis

Hearing is the second most indispensable process, in conjunction to the special senses of the humans. The process is particularly vital, and it comprises of the auditory mechanism, sensation, perception, and interpretation of the information in the brain. The anatomy of the hearing process encompasses the external ear; auricle, meatus and ear drum, the middle ear, which consists of the ossicles, oval window, round window, and the opening into the Eustachian tube, and inner ear, which entails, cochlea and vestibular apparatus (Kiernan & Barr, 2009: Garrett, 2011). The ear and the hearing system are always accompanied by different malfunction. In ...

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 to ...

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 adjustment of deaf ...

Issues In The Workplace Amongst Deaf and Hearing Communties

ABSTRACT There is a large gap in the communication present when it comes to the Deaf and the Hearing communities. Members of the Deaf community are being treated poorly, being assigned to jobs that they are not trained in, and are unable to learn and advance in their respective fields due to the lack of communication. This disconnect stems from both a lack of understanding and a lack of will to learn and understand from the Hearing community. The Know The Sign Campaign will eliminate this issue through instruction and direct immersion and interaction for members of the Hearing community into ...

Inclusion in the Classroom of Children with Hearing Loss

As opposed to mainstreaming, which involves the placing of learners with individualized education program in a general education classroom, but still maintains some education time spent with a special educator in a special education classroom, inclusion is different (Schildroth, & Hotto, 1994). According to inclusion, a student with an individualized education program is put in a general education classroom expecting that he will participate in this general education classroom as much as possible. Inclusion aims at bringing the modifications and necessary services for the learner into the general education classroom (Schildroth, & Hotto, 1994). The general education teacher is responsible for providing support and accommodations of ...

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, they need to ...

Probation, in the criminal justice context, is the period which a convicted person (probationer) is subjected to supervision, critical examination and intense evaluation.

Thesis Statement

Reading problems are common among children in their first levels of learning but it has been seen to continue in some cases up to adulthood. Many of the people with reading disabilities have been associated with limited intelligence and these people have at times been said to have autism. However, associating reading disorder with autism and limited intelligence is all wrong. This is because there is medical and academic proof that dissociates reading disorder with limited intelligence.

Brain Mapping

Cell positioning during brain development is one of the reasons that medics have highlighted to explain the cause of reading disorder (Charles ...

What happens with a patient who develops a cataract?

A cataract is the opacification of the crystalline lens in the eye. In a patient with cataract, there is progressive loss in the transparency of the crystalline lens; this is due to changes in the density of the epithelial cells. There is also a derangement in the fiber of the lens cells. Lens transparency can also be because of deposition of minute epithelial masses of apoptotic lens tissue in the substance of the lens leading to disruption of the internal homeostatic mechanism of the lens and accelerating the process of cataract formation. (Vincente Ocampo, 2012)

Cataract initially leads to an increase ...

Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication

Communication has been defined as the process involving two or more parties and which must entail the exchange of information. It is can thus be summed up as the process in which parties exchange information. Communication could assume verbal or non-verbal forms and either form comes with its own processes.

Trial vs. Plea Bargaining

Trial The oldest and most well-known form of dispute resolution in criminal cases is the jury trial (Kadri, 2005). Certainly, the jury trial is the fundamental dispute resolution mechanism of the American adversarial legal system. 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 ...

RATIONALE

When society thinks about medical diseases or conditions that affect persons, there are divergent perceptions attached to the persons suffering the said ailments. Sometimes the stigma is worse than the physical pain a person might suffer. This is because stigma is the ugly side to the beauty myth. It causes the persons suffering an illness to suffer social ostracism out of the irrational fear of infection by the larger section of society. This interferes with the normal social interactions and as a result, persons suffering ailments have to adapt socially, psychologically and physically to fit into society. This paper seeks to ...

Introduction

Sign language in USA is the third most widely used language, next to Spanish and English. However, it has been an issue of long debate by both parents and educators whether early exposure to sign language would hinder the language acquisition process of the child or would accelerate the learning process. A lot of studies have been made over the years concerning the merits and demerits of sign language and in recent times it has been figured out that sign language taught to children during the developing stages, indeed, helps children in learning a language faster. A variety of programs ...

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. The research found that different disabilities and the degrees of those disabilities require correspondingly different types of adaptations to the learning environment in terms of modifications to classroom layout, lighting and furnishings, to classroom tools, equipment and play items, and in some instances even modifications to the building itself. 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. The ...

Language acquisition denotes the procedure by which humans gain the ability to recognize and understand language, along with the ability to create and make use of words and sentences for the purpose of communication. Language acquisition is considered to be one of the exemplary human qualities, Philosophers in early societies were concerned in how humans gained the ability to comprehend and create language well ahead of experimental methods for trying those theories that were developed. However, for the major part they seemed to consider language acquisition as a division of man's ability to gain information and become skilled at ...

Introduction

The Taming of the Shrew is one of the Shakespearean plays that are not traditionally taught in English courses. However, its lively plot and interesting characters make for a remarkable introduction to the Bard. This is because the story is mostly about various “courting” couples, which can be a lively topic as it elicits the timeless battle between the sexes. 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 with a drunken ...

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. Environmental changes can be felt in the body due to the nervous system present. The sense of touch, vision, audition and taste can be understood solely due to the nervous system. 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 ...

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. Cooper (1997) explains how practicing good listening makes a good tool for communicating because it shows concern for what the other person is saying so if there is need to answer a question then listening gives meaning to what is heard. Then it is possible to analyze the information so it is interpreted correctly. Other parts of communication, according to Craig (1995), Leeds-Hurwitz ( ...

Communication is the process of transmitting a message in a comprehensible way which starts with a sender who starts the communication process and ends a receiver who comprehends the message. The communication process is made up of four components. The first component is encoding which is a task that the sender translates his or her idea or information into a message in a form that he or she perceives the receiver will understand which could mean gestures, words or languages. The second component is a medium of transmission which is based on sender’s perception of the receiver’s level of knowledge and the kind of information ...
