Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Individuals With Hearing Impairments".

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about the anatomy of the auditory system and hearing impairments.

The auditory system is the complex network of structures and processes responsible for processing sound waves and transmitting them to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound. This system consists of three main parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear.

The outer ear consists of the visible part of the ear (the pinna) and the ear canal. Sound waves are collected by the pinna and funneled into the ear canal, where they eventually reach the eardrum.

The middle ear is the air-filled space behind the eardrum. It contains three small bones called the ossicles, which amplify and transmit the vibrations of the eardrum to the inner ear. The ossicles are named the malleus, incus, and stapes.

The inner ear is located deep within the temporal bone and contains the cochlea, a fluid-filled structure that is responsible for transducing sound waves into neural signals that can be processed by the brain. The cochlea contains tiny hair cells that are stimulated by the movement of the fluid in response to sound waves. These hair cells convert the mechanical energy of sound into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain via the auditory nerve.

Hearing impairments can occur when any part of the auditory system is damaged or malfunctions. Conductive hearing loss is caused by problems in the outer or middle ear that prevent sound waves from reaching the inner ear. This can be due to earwax buildup, fluid in the middle ear, or damage to the ossicles. Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the hair cells in the cochlea or to the auditory nerve itself. This can be caused by aging, exposure to loud noise, infections, and some medications. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

There are also other types of hearing impairments, such as central hearing loss, which occurs when there is damage to the brains processing centers for sound, and functional hearing loss, which is a psychological condition in which a person experiences hearing loss even though there is no physical damage to the auditory system. Treatment for hearing impairments may include hearing aids, cochlear implants, and other assistive listening devices, as well as medical interventions for underlying conditions.

Definitions and Concepts in the Field of Hearing Impairment Hearing impairment Disordered hearing Hearing sensitivity loss Described in range from mild to profound Deaf/deafness Nonfunctional hearing; federal definition refers to the educational impact due to the hearing loss Hard of hearing Residual hearing ability Minimal hearing loss Difficultly hearing at a distance or with background noise 4

The Anatomy of the Auditory System The ear is divided into four connected sections: Outer ear: The outer ear functions to protect the middle ear, direct sound into the ear canal, and enhance sound localization. In addition, the outer ear serves to enhance the intensity of sounds in the mid-frequency range where the sound spectrum of speech is located. Middle ear: Sound waves travel to the inner ear and cause vibrations that are converted in energy. Inner ear: This energy is transformed into electrical nerve impulses that are sent to the brain for decoding. Central auditory nervous system: transmits energy to the brain for interpretation.

Brief History of the Field 1817: First school for students with hearing impairments (American Asylum for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb) 1864: First college for the hearing impaired (today named Gallaudet University after Thomas Gallaudet) 13

Communication Methods Manual communication- sign language/finger spelling Oral communication- encouraged use of residual hearing and speech reading Total communication- combination of spoken and manual communication
Slide 15-

Prevalence of Hearing Impairment Almost 69,500 students ages 6-21 were identified as having a hearing impairment and receiving a special education during the 2011-2012 school year. Approximately 9,300 preschoolers were receiving a special education due to a hearing impairment. Number of Americans with a hearing loss has almost doubled in the past 10 years. 15

Etiology of Hearing Impairments Genetic/Hereditary factors Down syndrome Usher syndrome Waardenburg syndrome Infections Cytomegalovirus (CMV), rubella, otitis media Developmental abnormalities Atresia Environmental/traumatic factors Loud noise, low birth weight, prescription medication, head injuries 16

Characteristics of Individualswith Hearing Impairments Intelligence: Intelligence is distributed similarly to individuals without hearing impairments. Intellectual development for people with a hearing impairment is more a function of language development than cognitive ability Speech and language: Most severely affected area due to a hearing impairment particularly for children who are born deaf. Students who cannot hear the sounds of spoken language may have difficulty learning the meanings associated to the sounds and also may have difficulty using spoken language because they lack early experiences with the sounds of language. Social development: Social-emotional development relies heavily on communication skills and children with a hearing loss hear less auditory information. Children with hearing impairments may play differently due to a limited ability to share abstract ideas and often prefer to work with pairs of children rather than large groups. 18

Educational achievement: Educational achievement may be delayed although the student may have average, or above-average, intelligence. Reading skills are often delayed due to limited understanding of sound/word relationships. Educational environments often rely on spoken words to transmit information

Assessment of Individualswith Hearing Impairments Cognitive assessment requires the use of non-verbal assessment measures Speech assessment Articulation, pitch, loudness, quality, rate Personal/social/behavioral assessment Social adjustment, self-image, emotional adjustment 20

Educational Approaches Bilingual/bicultural: Considers American Sign Language (ASL) to be the natural language of the Deaf culture and urges recognition of ASL as the primary language choice with English considered a second language Total communication: Supports the belief that simultaneous use of multiple communication techniques enhances an individual’s ability to communicate, comprehend, and learn Auditory-Oral: Supports the belief that children with hearing impairments can develop listening/receptive language and oral language expression (English) skills; emphasizes use of residual hearing (the level of hearing an individual possesses), amplification (hearing aids, auditory training, etc.), and speech/language training

Issues of Diversity People who identify with the Deaf culture are proud of their heritage including their language, history, values, and literature The term Deaf (with a capital D) refers to individuals who identify with the Deaf culture The term deaf (lowercase d) refers to the physical condition Deaf culture considers American Sign Language (ASL) to be the natural language of the Deaf culture and urges recognition of ASL as the primary language choice with English considered a second language 32
Slide 33-

Issues of Diversity 49% of all students in programs for the deaf and hearing impaired are from culturally diverse groups Research is needed to address the needs of students with hearing impairments who come from non-English speaking families
