Medical Aspects of Deafness
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Hearing in Different Environments Q: How does a student's hearing differ between quiet and noisy environments? | A: A student who can hear fairly well in quiet environments may perform much differently in noisy environments, which is typical of most classrooms. |
| Hearing Aids Q: What do hearing aids do, and what are their limitations? | A: Hearing aids amplify sound but cannot correct hearing loss. Hard-of-hearing students still miss a great deal of information, especially in noisy environments. |
| Temporary Hearing Loss Q: Can all students experience temporary hearing loss? | A: Yes, all students can experience temporary hearing loss when they have colds or ear infections. |
| Hearing Loss Variability Q: How does hearing loss vary across students? | A: Hearing loss differs across students, affecting their ability to use hearing for learning speech and language. Interpreters should consult with a deaf educator, speech pathologist, or audiologist to understand each student's specific audiogram. |
| Hearing Aid Problems Q: What are the common causes of hearing aid problems, and how can they be fixed? | A: Most hearing aid problems are due to dead batteries, clogged ear molds, or minor issues that can be easily corrected by school personnel. |
| Audiograms Q: What is an audiogram, and what does it show? | A: An audiogram is a graphic representation of a student's hearing loss. It estimates how much a student can rely on hearing to learn speech, language, and classroom content. |
