The damage or blockage disrupts the passageway or the sound wave through the chambers ("Deafness and Hearing Loss", 2015). This type of hearing loss can be treated medically but can also affect a child’s language development.]]> 2021-03-21 02:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333393114 Sensorineural hearing loss cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394017 It is caused by damage to the inner ear, which is called Cochlea, or the auditory nerve that transmits various impulses to the brain ("Deafness and Hearing Loss", 2015).]]> 2021-03-21 02:12:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394017 Central hearing loss cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394290 This type of hearing loss means “ a disorder or dysfunction in the central auditory system between the brainstem and the auditory cortex in the brain”("Deafness and Hearing Loss", 2015). ]]> 2021-03-21 02:12:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394290 Mixed hearing loss cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394457 This type of hearing loss is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss]]> 2021-03-21 02:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333394457 Hereditary disorders cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395398 Parents can pass down a gene for deafness to their children.]]> 2021-03-21 02:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395398 Genetic disorders cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395619 These are different gene mutations that are done at conception.

Some diseases can be rubella, influenza and mumps. Also, if the mother takes certain medications for a disease it can affect the baby’s hearing, such as ethyl mercury and medications such as quinine (Department of Health & Human Services, 2011).]]> 2021-03-21 02:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395781 Noise cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395949 Some loud noises can be gunshots, firecrackers, explosions, and rock concerts. Also, particularly prolonged exposure either in the workplace or recreationally can damage the delicate mechanisms inside the ear (Department of Health & Human Services, 2011).]]> 2021-03-21 02:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333395949 Trauma cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333396136 These are perforation of the eardrum, fractured skull or changes in air pressure.

ASL is a visual language, that you use your face and hands for. “The shape, placement, and movement of the hands, as well as facial expressions and body movements, all play important parts in conveying information.”("What is American Sign Language?"). ASL is a very unique language and is not universal all around the world.

A Cochlear implant is a “small, complex electronic device that can help to provide a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard-of-hearing”("Cochlear Implants", 2018). Cochlear implants can be put on surgically on children or adults. These children or adults have to be eligible and likely to be successful with using the implants and many factors are discussed beforehand.]]> 2021-03-21 02:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333397904 Hearing aids cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333399371 Some deaf individuals will get a hearing aid to help them hear and communicate. A hearing aid will amplify the sounds around them. This device is used mostly for people who are hard of hearing. These are also used for deafness that happens at an older age. There are many different kinds of hearing aids. The types are in ear canal, in the ear, behind the ear, receiver in the canal or receiver in the ear, and open fit aid. ]]> 2021-03-21 02:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333399371 Functional skills cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333401630 Socially a person may not be able to communicate with everyone in the world, which may make them withdraw from social situations. They may also not be able to do the same activities as hearing people if there are no interpreters or closed captions to help them understand the activities.
Children who are deaf or have hearing loss usually  cannot hear quiet
speech sounds such as “s,” “sh,” “f,” “t,” and “k”.
Children's speech may be difficult to understand.
Children may not hear what they are saying and may not speak loud enough. They might have poor stress, poor inflection or poor rate of speaking.

Children with a hearing loss understand and create shorter and simpler sentences than children with normal hearing ("Effects of hearing loss on development").  Children with a hearing loss often have difficulty understanding and writing complex sentences, such as those with relative clauses or in the passive voice ("Effects of hearing loss on development").
  Children with a hearing loss often cannot hear word endings such as -s or -ed. This leads to misunderstandings and misuse of verb tense, pluralization, and possessives, as well as non agreement of subjects and verbs ("Effects of hearing loss on development").
Vocabulary is developed more slowly than other children. 
Children who are deaf or  have hearing loss they will not catch up without
intervention.
Children with a hearing loss have difficulty
understanding words with multiple meanings ("Effects of hearing loss on development").

Many children, while they are growing up, can have low self- esteem and low confidence in themselves. Being deaf can have people feel detached from others. They will not be able to talk or have conversations with most people. ]]> 2021-03-21 02:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333401862 Baby Hearing.org cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333404142 This website tells the user and the universal newborn hearing screening and about what hearing is and how it works.

Thus damage to vestibular system causes gaze and balance impairments.  Since damage to vestibular structures is known to cause the balance deficit, which may interfere with normal motor development, it has been postulated as the primary cause of motor deficit (Rajendran & Roy, 2011).]]> 2021-03-21 02:32:30 UTC https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333408765 Academically cderosa9 https://padlet.com/cderosa9/72b0spirb4b0smlb/wish/1333415584 Children with a hearing loss have difficulty with all
areas of academic achievement, especially reading and
mathematical skills ("Effects of hearing loss on development").

Children with a severe to profound hearing loss usually
achieve skills no higher than the third- or fourth-grade
level, unless appropriate educational intervention
occurs early ("Effects of hearing loss on development").

The level of achievement is related to parental
involvement and the quantity, quality, and timing of
the support services children receive ("Effects of hearing loss on development").
