Vestibular rehabilitation is a treatment method that is commonly known to help reduce dizziness and imbalance in individuals that suffer from inner ear disorders. Researchers have shown that vestibular disorder has an effect on the central nervous system that breaks into two components peripheral and central components which affects individual’s everyday activity. Studies show that vestibular disorder comes from worsened genetic or environmental conditions, or occur for unknown reasons. (.)Vestibular

The Strive for Perfection We live in a world that the attempt to be normal is inevitable, if you have a disability; you are told you can’t do most things, if you look different than the majority you get discriminated. Deafness is viewed as a disability that needs to be fixed, due to a hearing society where hearing is the norm. Deafness is at a threat for extinction, due to the push to “fix” it. Sometime in the near future with genetic testing targeting to remove the deaf gene, could inversely cause

When most people hear the term cochlear implant they tend to think about hard of hearing people but they also tend to get cochlear implant and hearing aid mixed up. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted electronic device that provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or severely hard of hearing in both ears. The cochlear implant has been available to people for over 30 years. The man that came of with the idea to make this invention goes by the name of William. F House.

. Statistical significance level was set at 0.05. The research was conducted by carrying out cochlear implantation to 16 patients using the Advanced Bionics devices. The experiment was carried out with strict adherent to the guidelines of the Brazilian Otolaryngology Association (ABORL-CCF), which aims to follow the standardize criteria for cochlear implantation. Audiology test was conducted to all 16 subjects before implantation with and without their hearing aids and

the patient, the physician will choose possible avenues for treatment. In cases where the hearing loss is not severe, a hearing aid can be installed in order to help the individual hear properly. In cases where hearing loss is permanent and severe, cochlear implants are available for specific nonsymptomatic deafness where the inner ear is not at risk to reject the implantation. There is also hearing assistive technology (HATS) which can be equipped with both adults and children to help process sounds

and first-grade d/Dhh students. Three teachers in a Total Communication program and 13 students were included in the study that lasted over 8 months. Students’ degree of hearing loss ranged from severe to profound, and two of the first graders wore cochlear implants. Students were divided into three groups based on their age for instructions. The pre–posttest achievement of students was documented. A word reading test was administered to both kindergarteners and first graders whereas pseudoword

problem is Dillon and Pisoni’s (2006), work with deaf students in which they found that children with cochlear implants lack in the development of phonological processing and reading skills. The mode of communication was a contributing factor in the level of which each student was performing in the area of reading. The research in this article focuses on comprehension levels of students who wear cochlear implants. It can help others gain further understanding about why children who are deaf significantly

Cochlear Implants: Children Abstract This paper covers many of the topics about Cochlear Implants, and when a child should get one and at what age .If hearing loss occurs early on in childhood or later on in life. Can Cochlear Implant drastically impact a person's ability to communicate? What are the many benefits of cochlear Implants for children? Although the exact ones will vary depending on the child? Introduction Implants can restore or help with hearing in young children before they are too

The website I chose was from Ear Consultants.us and the article was written by a twelve year old patient whose name is not given. This twelve year old girl describes cochlear implants and controversy about them in a report she did for school. She based it off her brother, who was deaf, but got a cochlear implant. The doctor for this facility requested permission from her patient to post her report because it was very detailed and well formulated. Since the girl does not have a name, I will refer

suffer from mild to moderate hearing loss have great success with hearing aids, however those who are born profoundly deaf cannot benefit from hearing aids alone. If a profoundly deaf individual chooses to hear their only option is to have cochlear implants. Cochlear implants are a two-part system consisting of external and internal parts 2. The external part is much like a hearing aid that has a transmitter, speech processor, and microphone 2. The internal parts consist of the receiver and electrodes
