| | Hearing impairment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Finally, a child who has a severe impairment and uses some sign language may be rejected by thier deaf peers, because of his or her understandable hesitation in abandoning the use of her verbal and speech-reading skills. | | | Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage/malfunction of the inner ear (cochlea, eighth cranial nerve) or auditory brainstem. | | | People who have hearing impairments, especially those who develop a hearing problem later in life, often require support and technical adaptations as part of the rehabilitation process. |

| | Congenital Conductive Hearing Loss |
| | In 1999, Dr. Sperling evaluated the subjective and objective outcomes of surgical therapy in patients with congenital conductive hearing loss treated in adulthood. | | | Hearing loss should be considered in any child with speech and language difficulties or poor grades, poor behavior, or inattention in school. | | | Children with a unilateral conductive hearing loss and normal contralateral hearing can be managed conservatively with preferential seating with or without a hearing aid, and surgical management should be deferred until the child is old enough to participate in the decision making process. |

| | This air conduction testing measures the responsiveness of the entire auditory system, from the ear canal through the middle ear to the cochlea and associate neural pathways to the brain, any loss by air conduction may be due to a disorder anywhere in the entire auditory system. | | | The clinical audiologist is a university-trained professional in the non-medical management of hearing loss, whether with hearing aid amplification, rehabilitation therapies, assistive listening devices or a combination rehabilitative approaches. | | | A conductive hearing loss is present when air conduction results demonstrate a hearing loss but bone conduction results are within the normal range (see figure 8.2). |

| | What's Hearing Loss? |
| | Hearing loss, or hearing impairment (say: im-pare-ment), happens when there is a problem with one or more parts of the ear or ears. | | | Hearing loss can happen because a person was born with parts of the ear that didn't form correctly and don't work well. | | | Neural means related to nerve, so neural hearing loss means the nerve that carries the messages from the cochlea to the brain is damaged. |

| | Most MD does not affect the ears or hearing, but one form, facio-scapulo-humeral dystrophy (the third most common form of MD) begins during the teens in the muscles of the face, shoulders and upper arms before spreading to the trunk and leg muscles. | | | Hearing loss is one frequent consequence of this variation. | | | Hearing loss often also occurs, apparently from muscle spasms including the muscles of the middle ear. |
