  • Physical exam. Your doctor will look in your ear for possible causes of your hearing loss, such as earwax or inflammation from an infection.
  • General screening tests. Your doctor may use the whisper test, asking you to cover one ear at a time to see how well you hear words spoken at various volumes and how you respond to other sounds. Its accuracy can be limited.
  • App-based hearing tests. Mobile apps are available that you can use by yourself on your tablet to screen for moderate hearing loss.
  • Tuning fork tests. Tuning forks are two-pronged, metal instruments that produce sounds when struck. Simple tests with tuning forks can help your doctor detect hearing loss. This evaluation may also reveal where in your ear the damage has occurred.
  • Audiometer tests. During these more-thorough tests conducted by an audiologist, you wear earphones and hear sounds and words directed to each ear. Each tone is repeated at faint levels to find the quietest sound you can hear.

Determine the student’s needs: academics AND functional performance.
    2. Does the hearing loss cause an adverse effect to education (performance in the classroom; achievement)?
    3. What services (teaching skills) and supports (ensuring access) are needed for the student to receive equal benefit of education in the general education setting?]]>     2022-10-18 20:51:16 UTC https://padlet.com/nehachourey25/nkmjemoufksaemfs/wish/2345885023     nehachourey25 https://padlet.com/nehachourey25/nkmjemoufksaemfs/wish/2345889412 Some accommodations for the deaf and hard of hearing would be:
    - Interpreters 
    - Speech to Text Services
    - Assistive Technology Systems
    - Note takers
    - Captioned media: basically everything!
    - Testing Accommodations
    - Remote Services
    For the D/HOH, there's tons of resources out here to help them!]]>     2022-10-18 20:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nehachourey25/nkmjemoufksaemfs/wish/2345889412     How do we help D/HOH students through behavioral management? nehachourey25 https://padlet.com/nehachourey25/nkmjemoufksaemfs/wish/2345896047 The habilitation and management of hearing loss among young children is complex, and the addition of disruptive behavior could further complicate language and social development.

    Assessment and reporting of hearing loss among children are routine and relatively standardized; however, clinical assessment of disruptive behavioral disorders among children within the hearing health care setting lacks standardization in this population and may be complicated by a lack of experience in the use of these behavior assessment tools and the significance of their findings.

    Getting in touch with your students/child is so important to being able to understand them.
    They will struggle with behavioral issues especially if they are in the adaptation stage to understanding how the world works. 

    When they are in school, they face a huge amount of pressure to be like everyone else. (Comes from experience).

    We as teachers, can guide them by creating small groups, by involving them. Ask them if they need help! Ask them if they want to learn ASL!
    Be kind to them. Attempt to communicate with them, in the end they will find a way to let you know.
