Postlingual hearing impairment refers to hearing loss that occurred after language was developed. This is especially important in children during their formative years when their speech and language skills are developing. The basic building blocks for learning, reading, spelling are borne from good listening, auditory memory, and auditory discrimination and if there is hearing loss the old adage - junk in, junk out - prevails. The methods to teach the postlingually deaf are much different than the methods to teach the prelingually deaf. Postlingual hearing loss is also more common and the listener often does not notice the loss as much as those around him or her.

What do you mean by the environmental barrier of listening Explain with an example?
An environmental barrier to listening can exist in many different forms. For example, loud conversations in a classroom may interfere with a student's ability to understand what a teacher or professor is saying. Out on the street, noise from heavy machinery or power tools can become an environmental barrier to listening. • Any type of noise, including white noise for fans, air conditioners, and humidifiers, may also be a barrier to listening, particularly if the listening person has some degree of hearing impairment. • For the hearing impaired, environmental noise can be a huge hindrance that forces them to rely on FM systems, hearing aids set for noisy situations (digital hearing aids with programmable elements), and lip reading or sign language. • Even a hearing person may miss important elements of a lecture, speech, or conversation when confronted by a barrage of environmental noise.
