Deck 8: Language and Children With Auditory Impairments

Question 1

.....

Answer 1

not answered

Question 2

What condition is a common cause of fluctuating hearing loss in children?

A) otitis externa
B) chicken pox
C) otitis media
D) acoustic neuroma

Answer 2

C

Question 3

How do children who acquire hearing loss after language acquisition differ from the prelingually hearing
impaired?

Answer 3

The earlier a hearing impairment occurs, the more likely it is to have a deleterious effect on speech and language development. In addition, the more severe the loss, generally the more severe the linguistic impairment.

Question 4

Which degree of hearing loss is most likely to impact speech and language skills, including vowel production?

A) conductive
B) sensorineural
C) moderate
D) severe

Answer 4

D

Question 5

Why is hearing loss known as the silent disability?

Question 6

Discuss the perspectives of the Deaf community towards cochlear implants. Use the film series "Sound and Fury" to augment the discussion.

Question 7

.....

Question 8

What are the expressive language consequences of moderate hearing loss?

Question 9

Debate the statement "Learning language in any form is more important than learning to use residual hearing."

Question 10

....

Question 11

How does babbling develop in hearing impaired children?

Question 12

What are the psychosocial effects of hearing impairment in adolescence?

Question 13

Describe vowel production in children with severe-profound hearing loss.

Question 14

Describe in general the relationship between hearing loss and receptive language skills in children.

Question 15

How is the degree of hearing loss determined?

A) impact on educational performance
B) three frequency average
C) site of lesion
D) stability of loss

Question 16

List four reasons why it is difficult to generalize about language skills in children with hearing loss.

Question 17

Children with which severity of hearing loss benefit most from amplification?

A) conductive
B) mild
C) moderate
D) profound

Question 18

Describe a child who would benefit from provision of a tactile aid.

Question 19

Define total communication.

Question 20

What is the most common type of hearing loss resulting from damage to the external ear?

A) conductive
B) sensorineural
C) CAPD
D) deafness

Question 21

Why is CAPD currently difficult to accurately diagnose?

Question 22

Appropriately prescribed hearing aids alone will provide children with profound hearing impairment with
sufficient auditory input for language development.

Question 23

Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the cochlear or the neurological pathways.

Question 24

There is an inverse relationship between language outcomes and severity of hearing impairment.

Question 25

Total hearing loss often results in low levels of literacy.

Question 26

Children with profound or total hearing loss were previously labeled as deaf.

Question 27

To have a severe- profound hearing impairment both the cochlear and middle ear must be damaged.

Question 28

There is a direct relationship between cognitive development and language development in children with
severe-total hearing impairment.

Question 29

Fitting a cochlear implant before the age of two will lead to near normal language development in children
with total hearing impairment.

Question 30

Children with cochlear implants may have unintelligible speech.

Question 31

Two children with the same severity of hearing impairment will have similar or identical language
outcomes.

Question 32

The consequences of congenital hearing impairment are usually more severe than the same impairment
acquired after the age of two.

Question 33

The primary consequence of conductive hearing loss is distortion without loss of sensitivity.
