Integrated Terapies for Deaf Children
Many are willing to write, but still hassle at the baby. But yesterday the school had to write for the brother, jelasin few things. This communication involves the sister, Ellen (6 years), the deaf but we enter public school. As well as share information on here, in case useful.
Basic Principles of Therapy Ellen
(Integrated therapy = therapy + hear speech
therapy)
1. Heard through the ears of ABD-assisted, not by
sight gestures or mouth movements.
2. Limitations of the child in response to our
conversations is because they have not understood the word / phrase is heard
(limited vocabulary, because it just started to hear for 2 years), so it needs
to be assisted with drawing / hand movements. But even this aid it is only a
moment in order to supply a new word, as the word is understood, visual aids
removed.
3. So then is supplied to the ears of Ellen
vocabulary, without demanding his immediate / direct to understand let alone
pronounce. John Tracy Clinic wrote: to be able to understand a word the child
had heard 100 times, to be able to say he had heard 1000 times. So since Ellen
put our concentration ABD supply and supplying the word in his ear (when
conversing normally, or when specific teaching new words).
4. The technique is to speak at normal volume near
the ear. It is intended that suluruh consonants can be captured. Talk to a
longer distance with a loud voice (shouting) causes the captured just vocal.
5. We have implemented a point 1-4 for 1 year and
has proven to show good results. At the end of the first year, he's only had
receptive language (understanding some of the words we speak without moving his
lips he saw, but he can not pronounce it), and after that began to appear the
first words (even if the pronunciation is not perfect, but it is consistent),
and immediately followed by the next words. This method is called auditory
verbal techniques. It is that we apply ...
6. Constraint that arises is that pronunciation is
still very weak, hence the suggestion of John Tracy Clinic then Ellen aided
speech therapy (at a hospital). Speech therapists help shape the pronunciation
Ellen speech therapy techniques to the words that are understandable Ellen but
not good pronunciation. Although only 4 months (had to quit because they do not
fit the new schedule only am-noon), this pattern has shown encouraging results.
+ Method of auditory verbal speech therapy is called auditory oral. This is our
go-apply at this time (with the help of a speech therapist at the school).
Note:
- Modern research claimed almost all deaf children
still have residual hearing (not 100% deaf). Residual hearing can be optimized
with the help of hearing aids (ABD, although not as sophisticated cochlear
implant).
- But wearing the ABD is not the same as wearing
glasses, which immediately could see more clearly. Because the response to
visual stimuli is direct, while the response to auditory stimuli is through a
stage of understanding / interpretation first. To achieve an understanding of
the important steps is to be heard, and heard, with clear pronunciation, a
short sentence, and if necessary with the help of visual: images and hand
movements (sometimes without the help of the child would be difficult to
understand new words, like a movie we speak strangers when we hear players
talking cas-cis-cus without us capturing that means). But help was slowly
eliminated, so that the future will only communicate verbally. (By: Ellen mama,

Hearing Loss
Each part of the ear has a critical role in
providing sound information to the brain. Hearing loss caused by damage to one
or more parts of the outer ear, the middle or inside. In order to properly
understand hearing loss, we need to understand the anatomy of the ear and how
the hearing. Overview of the case will be outlined in the following
explanation.
Hearing loss should always be diagnosed by a
hearing, such as expert audiology or ENT specialist. They will test the hearing
to determine the type and level of damage. An audiogram, will describe the
findings of the hearing test.
There are four types of hearing loss:
Type the first and most common is sensorineural
hearing loss caused by the loss or destruction of nerve cells (hair cells) in
the cochlea. Conductive hearing loss indicates a problem in the outer or middle
ear that causes terhantarnya not exactly sound to the inner ear. Mixed hearing
loss is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Finally,
hearing loss occurs when the nerve auditory nerves can not send signals to the
brain.
hearing impairment may be of two main types
By Dr Ananya Mandal, MD :
Hearing from a hearing loss may be from two main
types - conductive and sensorineural hearing impaired. The third type is the
type of the underlying mixture of symptoms of both types of hearing deaf. 1-6
Normal ear anatomy
Ear consists of a narrow channel that allows the
sound waves. This is called the outer ear or ear canal. This wave enters the
ear canal and strike the ear drum.
Ear drum (called tympani membrane) is a membrane
that vibrates as sound waves hit it. Vibrations is given to three small bones
(ossicles) in the middle ear. This is called a bone hammer, stirrup bone and
bone foundation.
Ossicles move to strengthen the vibration and give
it to the inner ear. The inner ear contains a shell-shaped organ called the
cochlea. The cochlea are tiny hair cells along the inner wall. This move in
response to vibrations and send signals through the auditory nerve to the
brain.
Decibel hearing
Reach normal hearing is 0-20 decibels (dB). Around
30 dB is to whisper, 50 dB for the average home and 60 dB sound for speech
speeches. Sounds like a jet engine sound over 140 dB and painful.
Hearing is measured in decibels (dB HL) hearing.
25-39 dB HL hearing means light (can not hear
whispers)
40-69 dB HL moderate means (not listening speech)
70-94 dB HL worse (can not hear the shouting)
more than 95 dB HL deep (can not hear the voice
that will be painful for a listen)
Types of hearing loss
Types of conductive hearing loss include hearing,
sensorineural hearing and the nature of the mixture.
Conductive hearing
In this case sound waves can not pass from the
outer ear to the inner ear resulting in hearing. The most common reasons for:
blockage of the ear canal by ear
ear drum perforation
Build-up of fluid called glue ear for ear
infection
Sensorineural hearing loss
This occurs where the auditory nerve and other
nerves that carry information from the brain damaged voice heard because of age
or injury.
Hearing loss due to aging called presbyacusis.
After the age of 30-40, many people begin to lose their hearing in small
amounts. This increases with age and by 80 many people may have a significant
hearing loss.
Presbuacusis occurs when the hair cells in the
cochlea sensitive gradually become damaged or die. Early symptoms include loss
of high-frequency noise, such as women or children voices and trouble in
consonant conference, making difficult to hear and understand speech.
Ear injuries are other common causes of hearing
loss. This occurs because the damage caused by loud noises. Constant inner
structure was damaged due to contact with noise. Voice appears causes the hair
cells in the cochlea become inflamed.
Some drugs may also cause nerve damage to
sensorineural hearing ear. These include antibiotics like aminoglycosides
(gentamicin, Amikacin etc.)
Mixed types of hearing loss
When people get the two types together, the
condition is referred to as a mix of different types of hearing.
therapeutic hearing / hearing therapy, auditory verbal therapy / auditory verbal therapy, auditory oral therapy, AVT / TAV, speech therapy, cochlear implants / cochlea implants, hearing aids / ABD, communication, deaf
