maximum communication effectiveness

What is the primary goal of Aural Rehab?

process

Aural Rehab is an ongoing ____ in which clients engage.

Degree of hearing loss, type of hearing loss, age/time of onset, speech recognition ability

What does AR treatment depend on? (4)

Auricle and pinna

What is included in the anatomy of the outer ear?

Auricle

______: collects sound waves and directs them into the ear canal and causes the eardrum (tympanic membrane) to vibrate.

Eardrum, ossicles, eustachian tube

What is included in the anatomy of the middle ear?

Malleus, incus, stapes

What are the names of the ossicles?

Stirrup, anvil, and hammer

What are the layman terms for the ossciles?

ossicles

________: role is to amplify sound

eardrum

______: drives the ossciles, which amplifies sound.

oval window, cochlea, hair cells, auditory nerve

What is included in the anatomy of the inner ear?

Pure tone and Speech

What are the two major types of audiometric testing?

air and bone

What are the two types of pure tone audiometry? —> conductions

Air Conduction

______: (type of pure-tone audiometry) affects the degree of hearing and all parts of the hearing mechanism. The process includes wearing headphones and notifying the clinician when they hear a sound.

Bone Conduction

______: (type of pure-tone audiometry) affects the type of hearing, and only the inner ear. The process includes a bone oscillator on the mastoid and forehead.

Speech Reception and Word Dicrimination

What are the two types of speech audiometry? —> conductions

audiogram

_____: shows/records the results of a hearing loss

conductive hearing loss

_______:

• problem occurs in the middle ear due to damage or a blockage

• can be medically or surgically corrected

• ear wax, foreign objects, etc

sensorineural hearing loss

________:

• structure in the inner ear aren’t working properly —> hair cells in the cochlea

• not cured medically but can be improved with instruments

• noise-induced, paint fumes, hereditary, congenital

mixed hearing loss

_____:

• CHL+SNHL

• involves outer, middle, inner

• might be fixed by surgeries (not SNHL factors)

• comorbid situations, congenital hearing loss+infection

normal

______: (degree of hearing loss) adults: 0-25 dB pediatric: 1-15 dB

minimal

______: (degree of hearing loss) pediatric: 20-25 dB

mild

______: (degree of hearing loss) 30-40 dB

moderate

______: (degree of hearing loss) 45-70 dB

severe

______: (degree of hearing loss) 75-85 dB

profound

______: (degree of hearing loss) 90+ dB

Eustachian tube

The organ the leads to the middle ear space to equalize pressure on the back side of the ear drum.

middle ear

The portion of the hearing mechanism that contains the eardrum and ossicles

inner ear

The portion of the hearing mechanism that contains the cochlea and semicircular canals

Cochlea

The sense organ of hearing

Stapes

The stirrup shaped bone that attaches to the round window of the cochlea

Sensorineural hearing losss

Type of hearing loss that insinuates hair cell damage in the cochlea

Conductive hearing loss

Type of hearing loss that insinuates dampening of sound from infection or obstruction

Ossicles

The smallest bones in the body

Malleus

This bone attaches to the eardrum to aid in sound transmission

Pinna

The fleshy external portion of the we like to decorate with rings

Incus

The 2nd of the bones also known as tge anvil in laymans terms

Temporal bone

The portion of the skull that houses the intricate hearing and balance mechanisms

Hair cells

The tiny transducers if sound located wuthin the cochlea, most susceptible to noise damage and hearing loss

Outer ear

The portion of the hearing mechanism that contains the ear canal and pinna

Mixed hearing loss

Type of hearing loss that has not only a dampening of sound but also a nerve damage component

eardrum

The first part of the ear to recieve sound and initiate movement through the system

Round window

The membrane located at the basal end of the cochlea and helps to facilitate movement of the fluid in the cochlea.
