Aging Disease Fluids in inner ear/ blocking of inner ear Environmental: Exposure to disproportionate noise for a considerable amount of time. Toxic noise exposure in workplace, home, environment and in recreationHow Do Hearing Aids Work: How Do Hearing Aids Work Electronic amplification devise that amplifies sound energy and directs the boosted signal directly into the ear. Signal waves travel to ear --> microphone picks up signal--> amplifier increases strength of the current--> receiver converts signal to sound--> loudspeaker plays sound into the ear hook --> ear hook plays the sound through the ear into ear canal --> sound waves of increased volume travel to inner ear--> sound is heard!Components of a Hearing Aid: Components of a Hearing Aid Battery, microphone, receiver (speaker), amplifying circuit, telecoil (prevents noise feedback), tone/volume control (adjusts volume), vent, filter control, ear hook.Consequences of Hearing Loss: Consequences of Hearing Loss Primary: Verbal communication Secondary: Participation restrictions Educational School performance suffers Vocational Difficulty finding work, difficulty keeping work Social Feeling isolated and insecure due to disability Emotional PsychologicalGoals of Hearing Aids: Goals of Hearing Aids Make speech and environmental sounds louder with respect to the input signal and hearing loss configuration Amplify face-to-face conversations Aid in telephone calls Optimize intelligibility and sound quality Assure that average speech will be comfortable and undistorted Soft speech should be audible Loud speech is loud, but not too loud No large feedback/amplification of noiseTypes of Hearing Aids: Types of Hearing Aids Most common hearing Aid types: Behind the Ear Open ear mini BTE In the ear or full shell Half shell In the canal Completely in the canalWhat does a Hearing Aid look like?: What does a Hearing Aid look like? c Half shell Completely in Canal Behind the Ear Full ShellHearing Aids as Assistive Technology: Hearing Aids as Assistive Technology Among the most common forms of assistive technology Enable students to hear teachers and other students better Allow speech to be more audible and comprehendible to teachers and other students Helps with lip reading Hearing Aids with FM Device assures more secured communication between teacher and student in the classroom Allows student to be participants in the classroomWays to assist hard of hearing students in the classroom (UDL): W ays to assist hard of hearing students in the classroom (UDL) Placement of hearing impaired students in the front row of classroom Repeat instructions Use of visual aids Noise free environment Carpet floors Sound proof walls Closed windowsVideo on Hearing Aids: Video on Hearing Aids Click on screen below to begin video:Slide 14: How Do Hearing Aids make Children Feel?
