http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/voice/adultaphasia.asp

Extractions: Change text size: S M L Home ... Voice, Speech, and Language On this page: Aphasia (uh-fay'-zhuh) is a communication disorder that can affect a person's ability to use and understand spoken or written words. It results from damage to the side of the brain dominant for language. For most people, this is the left side. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly and often results from a stroke or head injury, but it can also develop slowly because of a brain tumor, an infection, or dementia. Top There are many different classification systems for aphasia and many different types of aphasia within each system. Some systems are based primarily on the location of the lesion, while others are based solely on the person's behavior. One system adopted by the National Aphasia Association divides aphasia into two broad categories: fluent and non-fluent aphasia.
Sudden Deafness OTORRHINOLARYNGOLOGY-MEDSTUDENTS
A small review of sudden deafness including the most common etiology, clinicalmanifestations, and treatment of this otorrhynolaryngologic emergency.
http://www.medstudents.com.br/otor/otor4.htm

Extractions: Medstudents' Homepage Sudden Deafness can be defined as a sensorineural hearing loss that develops over a period of hours or a few days. The severity of the hearing loss may vary from mild to total loss of perception of the most intense sound. The loss of hearing may be permanent, or the hearing may spontaneously return to normal or near normal. It is usually unilateral but it can be bilateral in about 4% of the cases. Although it has a small incidence, it is very important to know how to deal with this disease which is a medical emergency. Acoustic Neurinoma - About 15% of patients with this disease will present with sudden sensorineural hearing loss as their initial symptom. It is due to a compression of vestibulocochlear nerve in the inner. Noise - The exposition to acute acoustic trauma (gunfire injures and explosion for instance ) can cause severe and sudden hearing loss. The cause is partly a direct and mechanical one, due to bleeding and partly an indirect metabolic effect on the microcirculation causing partially reversible damage to the sensory cells of the organ of corti. Perilymph fistula - There is little doubt that perilymph fistula ( either spontaneous or following surgery, barotrauma or acoustic trauma ) can cause sudden deafness. Nevertheless, this is an area of significant controversy because of the lack of firm criteria for its diagnosis, including intraoperative observation.

http://www.medicinenet.com/deafness/article.htm

Extractions: Hearing loss, or deafness, can be present at birth (congenital), or become evident later in life (acquired). The distinction between acquired and congenital deafness specifies only the time that the deafness appears. It does not specify whether the cause of the deafness is genetic (inherited). Acquired deafness may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be a manifestation of a delayed-onset form of genetic deafness. Alternatively, acquired deafness may be due to damage to the ear from noise. Congenital deafness similarly may or may not be genetic. For example, it may be associated with a white forelock, and be caused by a genetic disease called Waardenburg syndrome . In fact, more than half of congenital hearing loss is inherited. Alternatively, congenital deafness may be due to a condition or infection to which the mother was exposed during

http://www.medicalonline.com.au/medical/disease_index/elderly/deafness.htm

Extractions: Deafness can be either due to nerve deafness which involves the auditory poor hearing nerve in the brain itself or it can be a form of conduction deafness. This occurs when there is interference in the transmission of sound waves from the outer ear through to the inner ear before the auditory nerve carries sound on into the brain. Nerve deafness occurs in elderly people whose hearing deteriorates in the same way as eye sight does with age. Both conditions can be due to degenerative causes affecting the eye and ear tissue. Deafness due to excessive noise is mostly preventable - protective ear muffs should always be worn in noisy working environments. If caught early, nerve deafness due to loud noise will sometimes improve over a period of six months if the noise is avoided. Conduction deafness can be due to wax, foreign bodies, inflammation and tumours in the external canal. Deeper in the ear perforations of the ear drum, acute and chronic infection of the middle ear, degeneration, scarring and tumours, all of which can show up as conduction deafness. Your doctor should be consulted if you are growing deaf. It may be a simple matter of removing wax or it may necessitate seeing a specialist to determine the extent, type and cause of a deafness which may need more extensive treatment. Finally, in cases unsuitable for other methods of treatment or to complement other treatments, it may be necessary to institute hearing rehabilitation such as lip reading and auditory training to recognise sounds.

Extractions: Change text size: S M L Home ... Voice, Speech, and Language On this page: Spasmodic dysphonia (or laryngeal dystonia) is a voice disorder caused by involuntary movements of one or more muscles of the larynx or voice box. Individuals who have spasmodic dysphonia may have occasional difficulty saying a word or two or they may experience sufficient difficulty to interfere with communication. Spasmodic dysphonia causes the voice to break or to have a tight, strained or strangled quality. There are three different types of spasmodic dysphonia. Top The three types of spasmodic dysphonia are adductor spasmodic dysphonia, abductor spasmodic dysphonia and mixed spasmodic dysphonia. Top What are the features of spasmodic dysphonia?

http://www.cafamily.org.uk/Direct/d18.html

Extractions: helpful? yes no The human ear is a very sophisticated sensory organ that performs two functions: hearing and balance. It is probably the most developed sensory system in the human apart from vision. The outer, middle and inner ear, hearing nerve and it's central connections allow us to hear what we want to hear while suppressing what we don't want to and attach meanings so that an appropriate response can be made. Hearing is extremely important for the development of spoken language. Those with a pre-lingual profound hearing loss will not have access to speech sounds and hence will not develop oral language, while those with a severe pre-lingual hearing loss will not develop normal speech. Moderate hearing loss may affect speech and (oral) language development and will have a considerable effect on the mainstream education of children. Mild hearing losses also may affect the ability to learn depending on a number of other factors. The incidence of significant permanent congenital hearing loss is about 1 in 1,000 live births. This almost doubles by the age 10 years because of acquired hearing loss from meningitis, mumps, measles, trauma and other causes. Most congenital hearing losses are due to the malfunction of the inner ear but a few are due to malformation of the middle ear ossicles or the ear canal. If the hearing loss is due to a problem within the inner ear, or occasionally due to abnormalities in the hearing nerve, the term sensorineural hearing loss is used. Hearing loss due to a problem within the middle ear or the outer ear is called a conductive hearing loss while a combination is called a mixed loss.
