Terms to KnowHard of Hearing - “hearing impairment, whether permanent or fluctuating, which adversely affects a child’s educational performance…” I(National Association of State Directors of Special Education [NASOSE], 1994)Statistics•About seven million children have some form of hearing loss•Few people are totally deaf
Deaf - “means a hearing impairment which adversely affects educational performance and which is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification.” (NASOSE, 1994)

Anatomy of the EarThree parts to the ear (outer, middle and inner)

Outer Ear
Look at diagram for a visual representation• pinna or auricle - The part of the ear that is
visible. It captures sound to be transmitted into the ear
• The ear canal or external auditory meatus is the canal that connects the pinna to the ear drum or tympanic membrane. It transfers sound to the tympanic membrane.

Middle EarLook at diagram for a visual representation• Eardrum or tympanic membrane vibrates when
sound hits it. The vibration causes the sound to be carried through the middle ear.
• Ossicular Chain are three small bones (malleus, incus and stapes) that help to carry the sound from the tympanic membrane (ear drum) to the inner ear.
• The ossicular chain vibrates as sound is passed through the middle ear.
• When the ossicular chain vibrates it transfers the sound to the inner ear by setting the fluid in the inner ear in motion.

Inner EarLook at diagram for a visual representation• The cochlea contains fluid. When the fluid
moves it stimulates hair cells, which in turn send signals, perceived as sound, into the brain.
• The cochlea also contains the organ of corti or the sensory organ of hearing.
• Organ of corti contains the sensory cells essential to hearing. These cells move as the fluid is traveling through the cochlea.

Types of Hearing Losses
Conductive• Hearing loss resulting in
poor sound transmission from the outer ear to the middle ear.
• Example: Otitis media (ear infection), obstruction in external auditory canal
Mixed• Combination of conductive
and sensorineural
Sensorineural
• Hearing loss due to a problem in the inner ear that could affect the cochlea or the cranial nerve going to the brain
• Example: absent cochlea, high fever causing permanent damage

Degree of Hearing Loss
See handout on Sound Pressure Level (p. 10)
dB stands for decibal and it implies the intensityof sound present
• Normal Hearing 0-15 dB• Mild Loss 26-40 dB • Moderate Loss 41-55 dB• Moderate to Severe Loss 56-70 dB• Severe Loss 71- 90 dB • Profound Loss - 91 dB and above

Communication MethodsManual Approach• The hearing impaired
person primarily uses sign language to learn and communicate with people (ASL)
• Usually has an interpreter to assist in communicating with non ASL speakers
Oral Approach• The hearing impaired person
uses their residual hearing to learn and communicate with people
• Focuses on using verbal language to communicate
Total Communication• The hearing impaired person
communicates through a combination of sign language and verbal communication

Technology
• Hearing Aids
• Cochlear Implants
• Assistive Listening Devices (FM Systems)
![Page 13: In Service Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813654550346895d9ddb73/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

TechnologyHearing Aids and Cochlear
ImplantsHearing Aid
• Many different sizes and types
• Three components (microphone, amplifier and receiver)
• Amplifies sounds from the environment, but does not make speech clearer
Cochlear Implant
• Electrode(s) placed in the inner ear
• Designed to directly stimulate nerves in the cochlea in an attempt to send stronger signals to the auditory nerve center in the brain

Technology FM Systems
Usage• FM System consists of microphone placed close
to the sound source, the sound is transmitted to the receiver in the hearing aid via FM radio waves
• In the classroom the teacher wears the microphone that picks up his/her voice and sends it to the student’s hearing aid receiver, which then amplifies the sound
Advantage of FM System • FM picks up sound source but not background
noise• FM System is portable• Small unit

Communication Strategies for the HI Student
• Face the student when speaking to him/her
• Get the attention of the student before speaking
• Do not turn away while speaking to the student
• Do not stand in front of a light source while speaking to the student - the glare will prevent the student from reading your lips
• Repeat yourself if the student did not understand you
• Speak clearly• Use facial expressions and
gestures to help convey your message
• If the student has an interpreter, do not speak directly to the interpreter but to the student

Teaching Strategies for the HI Student
• Use visual aids during instruction• Provide captioned media• Reduce difficult vocabulary load• Write out assignment requirements for the student• Help the student locate a note taker• Break up long, complex sentences• Provide the student with a list of new vocabulary
and concepts to be taught• Check for understanding
![Page 18: In Service Training](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56813654550346895d9ddb73/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Environmental Adaptations for the HI Student
• Place the student in a quiet part of the classroom - example: place them away from noisy machines like the air conditioner
• Place the students desks in a circle so the HI student can see all the students
• Try to reduce background noise• Have only one student talk at once• Develop a plan of action with the student in case
of an emergency
