What are bilateral cochlear implants?
Why should children with hearing aids utilize FM technology?
Cochlear implants are devices that can be used to restore hearing in some individuals. The implant stimulates the cochlearnerve through electrical impulses. Why are cochlear implants not ideal for all types of hearing loss?

- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Cochlear implants bring hearing to many children who are born deaf. The prognosis is best when the device is implanted before the child is three years old (during the early years when language is developed). Many individuals in the deaf community (which consists of individuals born deaf or who are affected by deafness) who communicate with sign language oppose cochlear implants. They do not view the inability to hear as a disability. This perspective raises ethical questions for some families with children who are deaf. Argue for and against cochlear implants for very young children.arrow_forwardExplain why a cochlear implant may not be successful inolder children who are deaf.arrow_forwarda) Consider a patient who has been exposed to an ototoxic drug that has caused the death of the outer hair cells in the cochlea but has left the inner hair cells unaffected. What sort of hearing loss is the person likely to experience and what sort of hearing device could assist them? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear functions. b) Consider a person who has a partial loss of myelin in their auditory nerve. What effect would the loss of myelin have upon the ability of this person to perceive speech and would either a hearing aid or cochlear implant provide any benefit to their hearing ability? Explain the reasons for your answer based upon how the inner ear and auditory pathway function. I c) Explain the difference in information that can be provided by a cochlear implant consisting of a single electrode compared to a cochlear implant with many electrodes.

- Milo and Garfield are two friends who have acquired hearing loss, but the cause of hearing loss in Milo is different from that in Garfield. Milo has a conductive hearing loss. He can hear, but not clearly and loudly. The doctor has told Milo that calcium has built up on the bones in his middle ear interfering with their movements. Garfield has neural hearing loss. The doctor has told Garfield that he cannot hear because the auditory nerve cannot transmit electrical impulses from receptors in his inner ear to his brain. By completing the following tasks, help Milo and Garfield understand how their ear works and why they have difficulty hearing sounds. E. Draw and label a diagram showing the position of the bones in the middle ear. F. Explain the function of the bonesinconducting sound. G. Draw and label a diagram showing the inner ear, the position of receptors and the auditory nerve.arrow_forwardPeople who are deaf due to cochlear damage may stillsuffer from motion sickness.

- If Maddie’s hearing loss persists after her perforation is healed, which of the following scenarios is likely? Maddie suffered sensorineural AND conductive hearing loss from the head injury in the pool. Maddie will likely lose hearing in her left ear, too, but less severely. Her hearing loss is genetic and will be passed on to her future children. Maddie will continue to lose hearing bilaterally as she ages.arrow_forwardPresbyopia is a condition in which a person loses part or all of their capacity to adapt to changes in visual acuity.

Basically, his ear bones started to fuse together. This resulted in hearing loss. What type of hearing loss is this, and how can it be treated?arrow_forward
- Which type of hearing loss—conductive deafness or nerve deafness—would be more common among members of rock bands and why?arrow_forwardHow might changes in hearing affect people’s cognitive performance?arrow_forwardA cochlear implant is very different from a hearing aid. Hearing aids amplify sound. A cochlear implant is designed to compensate for damaged or nonfunctional parts of the inner ear. Which of the following rows correctly identifies the structures of the ear that hearing aids and cochlear implants replace? Select one: а. Device Cochlear Implant Hearing Aid Structure of the Ear hair cells tympanum and ossicles Intended to Replace b.
