Study Notes
Module 2 Quiz - Hearing Loss
- Hearing Handicap: Negative effects of hearing loss on an individual's life.
- Audiometer Dial Reading: A response from an individual, indicated by raising a hand, to a particular hearing test.
- Cochlear Hearing Loss: Often greater in the high-frequency range and associated with presbycusis (age-related hearing loss).
- Congenital Hearing Loss: Severe congenital hearing loss has a profound impact on language, voice, and articulation development in children. Hearing loss associated with this is due to varied causes.
- Hearing Loss and Job Demands: Individuals with hearing loss in a demanding job role (e.g., teacher) experience a greater handicap than individuals in less demanding jobs.
- Understanding Difficulty: Difficulty understanding speech, locating sound, and hearing in background noise often indicates high-frequency hearing loss.
- Audiometric Data Limitations: Audiometric data alone cannot fully describe how well an individual functions in personal and professional environments.
- Unilateral Hearing Loss: The impact of this condition extends beyond the loss of sensitivity, and also includes a balance imbalance between ears.
- Speech Discrimination: In Audiologic tests, single words (like "say the dog") are used in speech discrimination to aid in understanding hearing ability.
- Hearing Assessment: Using multiple sources of data (audiometric data, interviews, questionnaires, external resources) is necessary for a comprehensive hearing assessment regarding an individual's needs.
