Types of hearing aids by Julia Devore https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx Each group member should add to each term by adding their own colored box. Think of these terms like flashcards and add any information you can think of for each. Also answer the questions about the hearing aids. You can rearrange and design the page however you'd like. Make sure your group also picks a new person to present in the main room to describe your groups hearing aid. en-us 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC 2021-05-05 01:19:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Behind the ear jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214804 - Used for mild to profound hearing losses
- bigger instrument allows for more gain (more amplification)
- beneficial for older individuals with dexterity problems]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214804 In the ear jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214807 -Use for mild to moderately-severe hearing losses
- Less electroacoustic flexibility (bc of smaller size)
- You can use the characteristics of the pinna because of the placement of the aid]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214807 In the canal jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214808 -Used for mild to moderate hearing losses
- Less power because of the size of the instrument (smaller device)
-More gain (more amplification) at higher frequencies because of the acoustic resonance of the ear canal]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214808 Receiver in the canal jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214810
  • Used for all degrees of hearing loss 
  • Discreet fitting 
  • Reduced feedback and occlusion effect
  • More comfortable than other hearing aids

(gain and fitting degree of loss) jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214813 - as the device gets smaller, less gain is need and accepts less hearing losses]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214813 Why do we have the possibility of introducing the occlusion effect for ITE? jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214815 Has an airtight seal so it has a possibility of introducing the occlusion effect because you feel plugged up]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214815 Why do ITC minimize the occlusion effect? jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214818 smaller device ]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214818 Which aid does NOT provide an air tight seal? jdevore3189 https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214820 RIC]]> 2021-05-03 20:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jdevore3189/m2u2oc8f5jnd2mcx/wish/1487214820 What hearing aid is best for those with dexterity problems?
