| | Post-lingual hearing impairment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | On the one hand, persons who experience gradual deterioration of their hearing are fortunate in that they have learned to speak. | | | Ultimately the affected person may bridge communication problems by becoming skilled in speech-reading, accepting elective surgery to use a prosthetic devices such as a cochlear implant, using a hearing aid, or acquiring skill in sign language for communication. | | | The challenge is made greater by the need for those around them to adapt to the person's hearing loss. |

| | Hearing Impairment |
| | Because the incidence of hearing impairment is so low, students who are placed in the mainstream sometimes have socialization problems stemming from communication differences. | | | Early intervention is of critical importance for children with hearing impairments because of language development considerations. | | | Play audiometry, reflex audiometry, and evoked-potential audiometry are examples of hearing assessments for infants or children with severe disabilities. |

| | Visual and hearing impairment in elderly patients hospitalized for rehabilitation following hip fracture |
| | The significant difference in rehabilitation success found to be related to hearing impairment on univariate analysis stems primarily from the effect of age and visual impairment, as seen in the multivariate analysis. | | | Table 4 shows the results of the univariate comparison between patients with and without hearing impairment in mean values of functional state by FIM (prior to the HF, on admission to rehabilitation, and at discharge from rehabilitation), length of inhospital rehabilitation, and the absolute efficacy of rehabilitation. | | | Although visual impairment was found to be a significant risk factor for HF in the elderly [5], its effect, as well as that of hearing impairment on the success of rehabilitation following HF, has not been investigated to date, to our knowledge. |

| | Hearing Impairment and Aids |
| | The patient with a conductive hearing impairment will be able to hear either with reconstructive ear surgery (otosclerosis) or by the use of a properly fitted hearing aid. | | | A sensori-neural hearing impairment may result from disturbance of inner ear circulation or fluid pressure or from disturbances of nerve transmission. | | | Age, the severity of the hearing impairment, and the acceptance of the need for the aid, strongly influence how well a person adjusts to the use of a hearing aid. |

| | Hearing Impairment from Pediatrics / Otolaryngology |
| | Remember, a parent’s response to having a child with hearing impairment is generally the same as for parents of children with other disabilities or chronic medical conditions. | | | Background: Hearing loss is more prevalent than diabetes mellitus, myelomeningocele, all pediatric cancers, and numerous other medical conditions; yet medical students and pediatric residents learn very little about hearing impairment, how to advise parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing, or the special considerations needed in caring for children with hearing loss. | | | Children who are deaf need ongoing referrals to an audiologist to monitor progression of the hearing loss and to refit hearing aids to match the changing loss or to match the changing size of their ears. |

| | 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. |

| | Hearing Impairment and Language Development |
| | Early identification of a hearing impairment is critical to a child's overall language development and speech intelligibility, factors that will play a significant role in the child's ability to socialize, as well as to succeed in school. | | | Before appropriate therapy objectives and teaching methods can be identified, the severity of the hearing impairment must be assessed. | | | Most children with hearing impairments can develop good oral language skills that are not substantially different than those of their hearing peers if these crucial elements are present: |
