Extractions: Change text size: S M L Home ... Hearing, Ear Infections, and Deafness On this page: A hearing aid is an electronic, battery-operated device that amplifies and changes sound to allow for improved communication. Hearing aids receive sound through a microphone, which then converts the sound waves to electrical signals. The amplifier increases the loudness of the signals and then sends the sound to the ear through a speaker. Top Approximately 28 million Americans have a hearing impairment. Hearing loss is one of the most prevalent chronic health conditions in the United States, affecting people of all ages, in all segments of the population, and across all socioeconomic levels. Hearing loss affects approximately 17 in 1,000 children under age 18. Incidence increases with age: approximately 314 in 1,000 people over age 65 have hearing loss. Hearing loss can be hereditary, or it can result from disease, trauma, or long-term exposure to damaging noise or medications. Hearing loss can vary from a mild but important loss of sensitivity, to a total loss of hearing. How do we hear?

There are three basic types of hearing loss: conductive hearing loss sensorineural hearing loss and mixed hearing loss Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently throughÂ the outer ear canal to the eardrum and the tiny bones, or ossicles, of the middle ear.

http://www.judithpaton.com/

Extractions: What is Central Auditory Processing? When some of these tasks are done incompletely, a central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) results. It is a hearing disorder just like a peripheral (ear) hearing loss, in that it keeps a clear message from reaching the intellect. CAPDs (also referred to as auditory processing disorders or APD) are physical inefficiencies with physical causes such as genetics, minor birth difficulties, illness, or injury. Often the cause is unknown. Most CAPDs are mild compared to other physical problems, but they can have a large impact on listening and analyzing what we hear (at school, at work, or socially). When might I suspect a CAPD in my child or myself? CAPDs present such a barrier to taking in ordinary classroom instruction, accurate messages in the workplace, and the nuances of social conversation. CAPDs can masquerade as the descriptions mentioned above, or as poor focus, or as an ADD (attention deficit disorder). Most important, there is help available when the problem is recognized.

http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/otosclerosis.asp

Extractions: Change text size: S M L Home ... Hearing, Ear Infections, and Deafness On this page: Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone of the middle ear. This bone prevents structures within the ear from working properly and causes hearing loss. For some people with otosclerosis, the hearing loss may become severe. Top Hearing is a series of events in which the ear converts sound waves into electrical signals and causes nerve impulses to be sent to the brain where they are interpreted as sound. The ear has three main parts: the outer, middle, and inner ear. Sound waves enter through the outer ear and reach the middle ear, where they cause the ear drum to vibrate. The vibrations are transmitted through three tiny bones in the middle ear called the ossicles. These three bones are named the malleus, incus, and stapes (and are also known as the hammer, anvil, and stirrup). The ear drum and ossicles carry the vibrations to the inner ear. The stirrup transmits the vibrations through the oval window and into the fluid that fills the inner ear. The vibrations move through fluid in the snail-shaped hearing part of the inner ear ( cochlea ) that contains the hair cells. The fluid in the cochlea moves the top of the hair cells, which initiates the changes that lead to the production of the nerve impulses. These nerve impulses are carried to the brain, where they are interpreted as sound. Different sounds stimulate different parts of the inner ear, allowing the brain to distinguish among various sounds, for example, different vowel and consonant sounds.
