Deafness and Hearing Loss

MRI will show nerves tissue wonderfully. While hearing test can detect nerve damage accurately, MRI will help shed some light over further management and intervention for the problem Sometimes a the pattern of the audiogram (part of a hearing test) and the variations between your air condution thresholds and your speech proccessing give indications of what is called a central processing problem. All that means is that your hearing and speech processing scores indicate a possibility of problems in the brain. The two major possibilities that the Dr wants to rule out are a brain tumor or a mini stroke which may have affected your hearing processing centers. These problems are easily ruled out with an MRI.

It pretty much makes you deaf.

I wont get complicated, but pretty much, there are cells with hairs sticking out of them in an organ within your inner ear. When loud music plays, vibrations are sent from your ear drum, amplified through the malleus, incus and stapes and are passed onto the oval window. These vibrations are sent through a thick fluid called the endolymph and this moves those hair cells. The hairs (stereocillia) pick up vibrations depending on their length. If there is too much energy in the vibrations, the cells become useless and you lose hearing in that particular frequency... forever!

The causes of hearing loss are

Exposure to loud noise

Heredity

Head Trauma

Aging

Meniere's Disease and so on.

People working under noisy environment must undergo regular hearing tests. The Art of Hearing is one of the digital hearing aid provider which conducts free online hearing tests. So regular hearing tests can prevent hearing loss.

Unfortunately, in most cases hearing loss does not improve. However, some types of hearing loss can be caused by problems which may be treated medically, such as ear infections or a perforated ear-drum. These types of loss can often improve. If the loss is a nerve loss, as is most hearing loss, it is not likely to get better.

Depends on the cause of hearing loss. If the loss is conductive - ie. caused by a problem with the ear canal, ear drum, bones behind the ear or middle ear cavity, there is a good chance that it could be treated surgically. If the hearing loss is due to changes in the nerves (sensorineural hearing loss) then there is no surgical, medical or alternative treatment that will improve the hearing. An audiologist will be able to tell you if your results indicate that you have a conductive, sensorineural or mixed (both types) loss.

people are deaf. partially deaf people are done in a % which accounts for the decimal place number

Music is produced by vibrations, and deaf people can still feel different vibrations. The story is told that Beethoven cut off the legs of the piano so he could hear the vibrations of the piano. This is perhaps not necessarily true, as many pianos of the time were made with removable legs so they could be carried into the various courts of the kings and emperors for performances. Regardless, by laying the piano flat on the ground, Beethoven could distinguish the vibrations and harmonies.

Bear in mind that most of us can hear music in our heads - sometimes it can be a problem! An experienced musician does it all the time and it's not difficult for a professional composer to imagine the music and write it down. It isn't strictly necessary for a composer to use an instrument while composing, even though many like to do so.

For a composer as brilliant as Beethoven, with symphonies as complex as those he composed, hearing the music in his head would have been no difficulty whatsoever.

IMPROVED: The first reply is correct, though he is considered legally deaf, and he does read lips.

Not exactly. He is hard of hearing. He lost 80% of his hearing to an ear infection at the age of 3. Deafness is different from being hearing-impaired. The hearing-impaired only need hearing aids & don't have a large percentage of hearing loss. The Deaf use ASL or are oral.

conductive hearing loss results from a problem with the inner and outer ear

no

He was pronounced deaf from infancy.

yes he did he was deaf but after sometime he did not care if he was deaf it was better for him to concentrate

The lowest level of noise that can cause hearing loss is 85 dB. Prolonged exposure to noise at this level or higher can cause permanent damage to the tiny hair cells in the inner ear which are responsible for transmitting sound signals to the brain. In general any noise louder than 80 dB can cause hearing loss so it is important to protect your hearing when exposed to these levels of sound.

• Noise levels below 70 dB do not typically cause hearing loss.
• Noise levels between 70 and 85 dB can cause hearing loss with extended unprotected exposure.
• Noise levels above 85 dB can cause hearing loss with shorter unprotected exposure.

It is important to be aware of the noise levels around you and to take steps to protect your hearing. If a noise is too loud wear hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs. Additionally it is important to take regular breaks away from noise to allow your ears to rest.

Semantic

Semantic noise, the third type of noise, occurs when the receiver of a message doesn't understand a word or gesture used by the sender or has a different meaning for the word or gesture.

so in conclusion about %35 of students are home schooled. so that has to mean like %25-%15 of that is deaf or hard of hearing students that are home schooled……😂😂😂😂😂

so in conclusion, about 25-15 percent of deaf and hard hearing students are home schooled

He became completely became deaf because he has Scarlet Fever

Physical because the ear is damaged in some form.

It is very important to do this. Deaf sign language depends on manual and body language to convey meaning. The listener/observer is dependent on many visual clues in order to understand the intent of the 'speaker' to the fullest extent possible. In the absence of audible clues, manual (hand/finger) signs PLUS facial expressions and body movements make clear what is being said, and also convey the emotion, and the intensity of the emotion, attached to the words being used.

Your ears pick up sound which travels in invisible waves through the air. Sound occurs when a moving or vibrating object causes the air around it to move. Sound waves travel down the ear canal and hit the eardrum in the middle ear. This causes the eardrum to vibrate. Three tiny bones in your middle ear link the vibrating eardrum to the cochlea in the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with liquid that carries the vibrations to thousands of tiny hair cells sitting on a membrane that stretches the length of the cochlea. The hair cells on the membrane fire off tiny electrical signals. These electrical signals travel up the cochlea nerves of the auditory pathway to the brain. All this happens in a fraction of a second.

Look at the credits at the end of the movie

Reflex listening is a very basic kind of listening involving little more than hearing and a recognition that some noise has come to you.

Texting.

Age related hearing loss. Usually occurs from the age of 50yrs. It can also be hereditary at an earlier age.
