Hearing Aids only AMPLIFY sound.
What’s the

Hearing-Aid?
Benefits:Smaller, less visibleBlocked from wind noise
Benefits:Stronger, more powerful rangeEasier to use/remove
Slide4FM System
The FM system consists of a transmitter microphone used by the speaker (such as the teacher in the classroom, or the speaker at a lecture) and a receiver used by the listener. The receiver transmits the sound to your ears or, if you wear a hearing aid, directly to the hearing aid. There are many different kinds. FM systems reduce background noise, improve clarity and reduce listener fatigue.

Slide12Services for the Deaf
Dogs for the Deaf7-1-1 (for TTY service)Video Relay Service or VRSVRS allows persons who are deaf or hard-of-hearing to communicate through the telephone system with hearing persons. The VRS caller contacts a VRS company, who has a qualified sign language interpreter waiting to help.Purple, The Z, Sorenson, and morehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGFcP0OQV3k

Slide14Cochlear Implant
What is a Cochlear Implant? SIGN for it?A cochlear implant bypasses the cochlea hair cells and uses electrical impulses to stimulate the auditory nerveOnly has 22 electrodes of sound http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpKKYBkJ9Hw&feature=youtu.be&safe=active Try to keep in mind…what if you couldn’t hear much or have never heard sound.
Slide15Not going too in depth…
Slide16Cochlear Implants
This is considered a
Hot Topic
in the deaf community.
Remember, please be considerate when conversing with a deaf person and don’t bring it up unless they mention it first.
Slide17Why is it a hot topic?
Some view it as a “cure”
Some think it will be the end to the deaf culture/community
And
The age it can be implanted
Slide18Common Questions???
When can you get one?
As young as 6 months old.
Most doctors will recommend that you get it earlier – because your likelihood of learning to speak proper diminishes as time passes. You are also a viable candidate if you go deaf later in life (Ex. age 20 because of car accident, etc.)
Slide19Common Questions???
How Much Does it Cost?
In the United States, medical costs run from US$45,000 to US$125,000.
This includes evaluation, the surgery itself, hardware (device), hospitalization and rehabilitation.
Slide20Precautions
Static electricityHead protection from trauma (sports)Water/moistureSpare parts (batteries, cables)
Slide21Can every Deaf person get a CI?
NO!
It does not work for all types of hearing loss.
If you were born without a pinna, they could make one for you and that would improve your hearing loss.
If you were born without the entire middle ear cavity but your cochlea was intact – they could use this device to help sound go directly to your cochlea.
Slide22Hearing…but not as you know it

Slide23Slide24Get out one piece of paper
Write 6 sentences using these new vocabulary words.
2 of the 6 sentences must be Rhetorical questions
2 of the 6 sentences must be WH-questions
2 of the 6 sentences can be any type you’d like.
YES, THEY MUST BE GLOSSED
You must know how to SIGN these sentences.
You can use any old vocabulary – from other chapters to help your sentences out.
Slide25Surgery
Performed under general anesthesia
with facial nerve monitoringThe surgery lasts approximately 2-3 hoursAn incision is made within the hairline above and behind the earA small amount of hair is shaved prior to surgeryMastoid cavity is drilled and a bony communication “tunnel” is opened into the middle ear spaceDuring this, the facial nerve is identifiedThe cochleostomy (opening into the cochlea) is created in the promontory bone directly into the scala tympani
Slide26Surgery - Continued
The electrode array is inserted into the cochleaTissue is packed around the electrode array within the cochleostomy to prevent fluid leak and for stabilization of the arrayThe internal component of the implant is secured in the bony well with suturesThe incision is closed using sutures and a compression dressing placed over the site
Slide27Mapping – Using the CI
The initial hook-up is scheduled for 4 weeks post surgeryMeasurements are taken of individual electrodesThird, the microphone is turned on and the person can hear environmental sounds and speechLastly, the program is fine-tuned to the best listening parameters for that person
Slide28Mapping Schedule
Initial stimulation 1 month post surgeryOnce per week for the first monthOnce per month for the next few monthsOnce every 3 months for a whileOnce every 6 monthsOnce per year unless problems arise
Slide29Any Questions?
Slide30Factors for success are considered:
Family support and commitment
Auditory-verbal/oral mode of communication
Auditory memory of spoken language
Duration of deafness
The ability to benefit to some degree from a hearing aid
