Extractions: About Site Map Contact Us A service of the Nonsyndromic deafness Genetic Conditions On this page: Reviewed November 2006 Nonsyndromic deafness is hearing loss that is not associated with other signs and symptoms. In contrast, syndromic deafness involves hearing loss that occurs with abnormalities in other parts of the body. Different types of nonsyndromic deafness are named according to their inheritance patterns. Most forms of nonsyndromic deafness are associated with permanent hearing loss caused by damage to structures in the inner ear. The inner ear consists of three parts: a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea that helps process sound, nerves that send information from the cochlea to the brain, and structures involved with balance. Loss of hearing caused by changes in the inner ear is called sensorineural deafness.

The Human Ear March is Deaf History Month , but it actually covers the period of March 13th to April 15th. It's a time to recognize three events - the creation of the first public school for the deaf on April 15, 1817, the founding of Gallaudet University (a college for the deaf) on April 8, 1864, and the Deaf President Now movement (when a deaf man became president of Gallaudet) on March 13, 1988. Now that you're caught up with the history , take a look at what it means to be deaf. Your ear is made up of three parts - the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. They have to work together in order for you to hear properly, but if there's a problem with one or more parts of your ear, you may not be able to hear. That's what deafness is - partial or complete hearing loss Deafness can be passed down in families or caused by long-term exposure to noise from living near airports and freeways or listening to really loud music through your headphones. You can also become deaf from

Extractions: A Guide to Children's Literature and Disability The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), formerly the Education of the Handicapped Act (P.L. 94-142), includes "hearing impairment" and "deafness" as two of the categories under which children with disabilities may be eligible for special education and related service programming. While the term "hearing impairment" is often used generically to describe a wide range of hearing losses, including deafness, the regulations for IDEA define hearing loss and deafness separately. Hearing impairment is defined by IDEA as "an impairment in hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child's educational performance."

Extractions: Classification and external resources The International Symbol for Deafness ICD H H ICD ... MeSH A hearing impairment or hearing loss is a full or partial decrease in the ability to detect or understand sounds. Caused by a wide range of biological and environmental factors, loss of hearing can happen to any organism that perceives sound. Sound waves vary in amplitude and in frequency. Amplitude is the sound wave's peak pressure variation. Frequency is the number of cycles per second of a sinusoidal component of a sound wave. Loss of the ability to detect some frequencies, or to detect low-amplitude sounds, that an organism naturally detects, is a hearing impairment. Hearing sensitivity is indicated by the quietest sound that an individual can detect, called the

Extractions: Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound. The distinctions between the terms "deaf", "Deaf", "deafened", and "hard of hearing" are based principally on the individual's preferred language (spoken or sign) rather than on the actual degree of hearing loss. Deaf, deafened, and hard of hearing individuals may use hearing aids, cochlear implants or other assistive listening devices. Definition Hearing loss ranges from mild to profound.

Extractions: Home About Medical School Notes While working at the music and neuroimaging lab at Beth Israel/Harvard Medical School in Boston, I developed a quick online way to screen for the tonedeafness. It actually turned out to be a pretty good test to check for overall pitch perception ability. The test is purposefully made very hard, so excellent musicians rarely score above 80% correct. Give it a try! About me: I graduate from the university of massachusetts medical school in 2008, and will begin radiology residency after an internship in internal medicine. I am interested in applying radiological technology to brain tumor treatments, neurodegenerative diseases, and acute treatment of stroke. My medical school research at the music and neuroimaging laboratory at harvard medical school got me interested in brain function and music perception. Before I started medical school, I had a career as a musician, composing several electronic music albums under my own name. My fourth album has recently been finished and will be released soon (exciting anouncement coming soon about that). If you wish to contact me, you can find my contact info here Flash is necessary to take the tonedeaf test. It may take a few moments to load, please be patient.
DDEAF FAQ's

Extractions: Contact Us Site Index Home FAQs Myths Calendar Picnic Planning Humor ... You Can Help For perhaps, if the truth were known, we're all a little blind, a little deaf, a little handicapped, a little lonely, a little less than perfect. And if we can learn to appreciate and utilize the dog's full potentials, we will, together, make it in this life on earth. Charlotte Schwartz Like dog owners everywhere, we love our dogs. Outside of an obvious physical defect, deaf dogs are just your normal, everyday dogs. They do have a better excuse for not listening than most dogs, but they live in our houses, sleep on our beds, play with our children and ride in our cars. They go for walks, chase balls, bark at squirrels (yes, they do bark), and at the end of the day, they collapse in front of the TV with the rest of the family. They share our lives, and are our companions and friends. A person who has just discovered that their dog is deaf (or is considering the adoption of a deaf dog) will often be faced with the negative warnings of well meaning friends and misinformed experts. Too many spread horror stories about aggressive, biting, deaf dogs that couldn't be trusted or trained, and would eventually break our hearts. These pages (and others on this site) are here to counteract this misinformation.

It affects up to 40% of people age 65 and older and up to 80% of people older than 85.

It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of this great entity and program. Not only is my heart extended and stretched out towards my deaf associates, but I too have a hearing loss.

As we strive to pull and work together, we will come together and become as a family or in other words, One Heart I feel this quote is a remedy for many of our questions to why people of different backgrounds find it difficult to be one and unified: Closeness is a matter of communication Communication is a matter of understanding Understanding is a matter of listening And listening begins with love.
