age related, genetic predisposition, regular long exposure to loud noise, drugs/antibiotics, infectious diseases, head injury/tumours, birth complications
1 of 10
Cochlear implants
external sound procession transmits to internal implants. Converts to electrical impulse, simulation of auditory noise, to brain
2 of 10
Conductive causes of hearing loss (outer/middle ear) 5
fluid, ear infection, tumours, foreign bodies, malformation of outer/inner ear
3 of 10
Speech vocab
deaf 8-12 yr olds worse than hearing 4 year olds. Strategies lagging. 90% hearing children's language not directed at them
4 of 10
Speech production
low speech intelligibility, difficulties in speech reading and production, omissions, voicing errors, intonation, rate and rhythm difficulties
5 of 10
factors predicting intelligibility
special education before preschool, successful hearing aids, speech training, above average non-verbal IQ, above average SES
6 of 10
spoken grammar
grammar more delayed than words,
7 of 10
written language level
sig. reading impairment, average deaf child has reading age of 9 when leaving school, wide variation predicted by spoken lang skills, vocab, phonological awareness
8 of 10
ToM in deaf findings
35% deaf 4 year olds pass Sally Anne task. Late signers severly delayed, native normal/superior
