Unit 5 Assignment Answers

A cochlear implant is a medical device that essentially does the same thing that a cochlea (inner ear) would do. Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants do not make the sound louder, they allow sound to go by parts of the cochlea and stimulate the nerves that allow you to hear sound. Because Heather was the first deaf Miss America, this sparked controversy. People thought that Heather should not have gotten a cochlear implant because she represented the Deaf and hard of hearing community. Although some people did not agree with her decisions, within three to five years she could understand complex sounds like

Cochlear Implants are an object that is very controversial in the deaf community. “A Cochlear Implants is a device that provdes direct electrical stimulation to the auditory (hearing) nerve in the inner ear.” (“Cochlear Implants”) Cochlear Implants bypass the damaged hair cells, and directly stimulate the auditory nerve. Depending on when the Cochlear Implant is implanted it allows people to hear sounds, and sometimes even their own voice. While it does not cure hearing loss or deafness, it does allow people to hear. On more technical terms a Cochlear Implant includes parts like a microphone, speech processor, and a transmitter which each play a different part in the Cochlear Implant. The microphone picks up sounds, sends them to the speech processer, and then the speech processor analyzes and digitized the sound signal, thus sending them to a transmitter worn on the head. The debate of whether or not Cochlear Implants are right in the deaf community is one that has been going on for years. People believe having Cochlear Implants are a good thing, because they allow deaf people to communicate with hearing people, it allows people who are not helped by conventional hearing aids to be helped, and it creates new possibilities for deaf people. However there are also people that argue that having a Cochlear Implant is a bad thing, because it proposes the idea that deaf people need to be fixed, it can give deaf people false hope, and it proposes the idea that deaf people have a

Just like everything else, women had to fight in order to be part of the jury. In 1870, Wyoming was the first to allow women to be juries. It was in 1957, when all women in the United States were able to be part of the jury. However only with federal court cases not state court, but this still did not stop clerks from refusing to call on women to be part of the jury. Women were still unable to be part of the jury during this time because of their gender.

Passages A & B have different views on what would work best for the Deaf people, but they both want want a positive outcome for the Deaf community. Passage A mainly talks about how the cochlear implants do not benefit deaf people and how the permanent effects from it can be a disadvantage for the implant patient in the deaf community. “Implanted children would "end up trapped between two worlds: they can't live the way hearing people can, and yet they won't have grown up in the deaf community, using ASL" (Zimmer 85)”. The author helps the reader understand the Deaf community rather then understand the medical view of cochlear implants.

The cochlear implant is quite possibly one of the greatest ideas invented to benefit the deaf community. American Sign Language (ASL) has been the main way the deaf communicate and is extremely important to the deaf culture. To those that can hear, being deaf or profoundly hard of hearing has been considered a handicap. It was for that reason that someone invented the cochlear implant, causing a huge debate within the deaf community. Some of those in the deaf community fear that their culture will be lost and destroyed, while others and the hearing community believe that it will better their lives. Most do not realize that this procedure is not a cure and that it will leave those with the implants confused as to where they belong in society.

I thought maybe if it was worded differently than it wouldn't have been as hard to not assume that the information was this or that. I guess it shows that we can never assume that information is correct.

“I wanted to make the first thing you hear me asking you to marry me”. These are the profoundly astounding words Andrea Diaz heard her boyfriend exclaim to her after the receival of her first cochlear implant. A deaf woman, she had never before been able to comprehend her boyfriend's voice, and to her amazement she heard his first words proclaiming the desire to begin the rest of their lives together. This miraculous moment was made possible because of cochlear implants recent inception; and ability to stimulate the innards of one's ear in order to develop a sensitivity to sound wave vibrations, but it never used to be as popular choice of hearing aid as it is an expensive procedure with minute possible damage. It sparked much controversy in both the scientific and deaf community as it was considered an inhumane practice by researchers, and an embarrassment to deaf individuals as they felt it was not a problem that should be looked upon with pity as something that needs to be “fixed”. The cochlear implant has seen much innovation and technological changes since its recent inception; furthermore, the implant has aided the lives of the deaf community through new forms of communication, and seeks to be improved as time progresses.
